Hardware Preparation and Installation
1.1Introduction
This chapter provides information on hardware preparation and installation for the MVME5100
Series of Single Board Computers.
Note: Unless otherwise specified, the designation “MVME5100” refers to all models of the
MVME5100-series Single Board Computers.
1.1.1Getting Started
The following subsections include information helpful in preparing your equipment. It includes
and overview of the MVME5100, any equipment needed to complete the installation, and
unpacking instructions.
Chapter 1
1.1.2Overview and Equipment Requirements
The MVME5100 interfaces to a VMEbus system via its P1 and P2 connectors and contains two
IEEE 1386.1 PCI Mezzanine Card (PMC) Slots. The PMC Slots are 64-bit and support both front
and rear I/O.
Additionally, the MVME5100 is user configurable by setting on-board jumpers. Two I/O modes
are possible: PMC mode or SBC mode (also called 761 or IPMC mode). The SBC mode uses the
IPMC712 I/O PMC and the MVME712M Transition Module, or the IPMC761 I/O PMC and the
MVME761 Transition Module. The SBC mode is backwards compatible with the MVME761
transition card and the P2 adapter card (excluding PMC I/O routing) used on the
MVME2600/2700 product. This mode is accomplished by configuring the on-board jumpers
and by attaching an IPMC761 PMC in PMC slot 1. Secondary Ethernet is configured to the rear.
PMC mode is backwards compatible with the MVME2300/MVME2400 and is accomplished by
simply configuring the on-board jumpers.
The following equipment list is appropriate for use in an MVME5100 system:
1.PMCspan PCI expansion mezzanine module (mates with MVME5100)
2.Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) Mezzanine Cards (PMCs) (installed on an
MVME5100 board)
3.RAM500 memory mezzanine modules (installed on an MVME5100 board)
4.VME system enclosure

1.1.3Unpacking Instructions
Avoid touching areas of integrated circuitry; static discharge can damage these circuits.
22
Artesyn strongly recommends that you use an antistatic wrist strap and conductive foam
pad when installing or upgrading a system.
Electronic components, such as disk drives, computer boards and memory modules, can be
extremely sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). After removing the component from
its protective wrapper or from the system, place the component on a grounded, static-free,
and adequately protected working surface. Do not slide the component over any surface. In
the case of a Printed Circuit Board (PCB), place the board with the component side facing
up.
If an ESD station is not available, you can avoid damage resulting from ESD by wearing an
anti-static wrist strap (available locally) that is attached to an active electrical ground.
Note: A system chassis may not be a suitable grounding source if it is unplugged.

1.2Preparation
This section includes subsections on hardware configuration that may need to be performed
immediately before and after board installation. It includes a brief reminder on setting bits in
control registers, setting jumpers for the appropriate configuration, and other VME data
considerations.
1.2.1Hardware Configuration
To produce the desired board configuration and to ensure proper operation of the MVME5100,
it may be necessary to perform certain modifications before and after installation. The
following paragraphs discuss the preparation of the MVME5100 hardware components prior to
installing them into a chassis and connecting them.
A software readable header/ switch register (S1) is available on the MVME5100. This switch is
not defined by the hardware and it is shipped in the OFF position, as are all the switches on this
board. This S1 switch is available for user-specific configuration needs via the control registers.
Hardware Preparation and Installation
The MVME5100 provides software control over most of its options by setting bits in control
registers. After installing it in a system, you can modify its configuration. For additional
information on the board’s control registers, refer to the MVME5100 Single Board Computer
Programmer's Reference Guide listed in Appendix D, Related Documentation, on page 147
It is important to note that some options are not software-programmable. These specific
options are controlled through manual installation or removal of jumpers, and in some cases,
the addition of other interface modules on the MVME5100. The following table lists the
manually configured jumpers on the MVME5100, and their default settings.
If you are resetting the board jumpers from their default settings, it is important to verify that
all settings are reset properly. For example, the SBC mode requires setting jumpers 4, 10 and
17 for rear Ethernet functions, but it also requires resetting jumpers J6 and J20. Neglecting to
reset J6 and J20 could damage or destroy subsequent PMCs or PrPMCs installed on the base
board at power-up.

1.2.2Jumper Settings
Prior to performing the installation instructions, you must ensure that the jumpers are set
properly for your particular configuration. For example, if you are using an IPMC761/MVME761
or IPMC712/MVME712 combination in conjunction with the MVME5100, you must reset the
jumpers for the SBC mode (jumpers J4, J6, J10, J17 and J20). These are factory configured for
the PMC mode. Verify all settings according to the previous table and follow the instructions
below if applicable.
Hardware Preparation and Installation
1.2.2.1PMC/SBC (761/IPMC) Mode Selection
There are five headers associated with the selection of the PMC or SBC mode: J4, J6 J10, J17 and
J20. Three of these headers are responsible for secondary Ethernet I/O (J4, J10 and J17) to either
the front panel (PMC mode), or to the P2 connector via J4 (SBC mode). The other two headers
(J6 and J20) ensure proper routing of +/- 12V signal routing. The MVME5100 is set at the factory
for front panel I/O: PMC mode (see Table 1-1). The SBC mode should only be selected when
using one of the IPMC-7xx modules in conjunction with the corresponding MVME7xx transition
module.

Hardware Preparation and Installation
1.2.3Installation Considerations
The MVME5100 draws power from the VMEbus backplane connectors P1 and P2. Connector
P2 is also used for the upper 16 bits of data in 32-bit transfers, and for the upper 8 address lines
in extended addressing mode. The MVME5100 will not function properly without its main
board connected to VMEbus backplane connectors P1 and P2.
Whether the MVME5100 operates as a VMEbus master or as a VMEbus slave, it is configured for
32 bits of address and 32 bits of data (A32/D32). However, it handles A16 or A24 devices in the
appropriate address ranges. D8 and/or D16 devices in the system must be handled by the
processor software.
If the MVME5100 tries to access off-board resources in a nonexistent location and if the system
does not have a global bus time-out, the MVME5100 waits indefinitely for the VMEbus cycle to
complete. This will cause the system to lock up. There is only one situation in which the system
might lack this global bus time-out; that is when the MVME5100 is not the system controller
and there is no global bus time-out elsewhere in the system.
Note: Software can also disable the bus timer by setting the appropriate bits in the Universe II
VMEbus interface.
Multiple MVME5100 boards may be installed in a single VME chassis; however, each must have
a unique VMEbus address. Other MPUs on the VMEbus can interrupt, disable, communicate
with, and determine the operational status of the processor(s).
1.3Installation
This section discusses the installation of PMCs onto the MVME5100, installation of PMCspan
modules onto the MVME5100, and the installation of the MVME5100 into a VME chassis.

Hardware Preparation and Installation
Inserting or removing modules with power applied may result in damage to module
components. Avoid touching areas of integrated circuitry, static discharge can damage
these circuits.
1.Attach an ESD strap to your wrist. Attach the other end of the ESD strap to an electrical
ground. Note that the system chassis may not be grounded if it is unplugged. The ESD
strap must be secured to your wrist and to ground throughout the procedure.
2.Perform an operating system shutdown. Turn the AC or DC power off and remove the AC
cord or DC power lines from the system. Remove chassis or system cover(s) as necessary
for access to the VME module.
3.Remove the filler panel from the VMEbus chassis card slot where you are going to install the
MVME5100. If you have installed one or more PMCspan PCI expansion modules onto your
MVME5100, you will need to remove filler panels from one additional card slot for each
PMCspan, above the card slot for the MVME5100.
If you intend to use the MVME5100 as system controller, it must occupy the left-most
card slot (slot 1). The system controller must be in slot 1 to correctly initiate the busgrant daisy-chain and to ensure proper operation of the IACK daisy-chain driver.
If you do not intend to use the MVME5100 as system controller, it can occupy any
unused card slot.
4.Slide the MVME5100 (and PMCspans if used) into the selected card slot(s). Verify that the
module or module(s) seated properly in the P1 and P2 connectors on the chassis
backplane. Do not damage or bend connector pins.
5.Secure the MVME5100 (and PMCspans if used) in the chassis with the screws in the top and
bottom of its front panel and verify proper contact with the transverse mounting rails to
minimize RF emissions.
Note: Some VME backplanes (such as those used in Artesyn Modular Chassis systems) have
an auto-jumpering feature for automatic propagation of the IACK and BG signals. The step

Operation
2.1Introduction
This chapter provides operating instructions for the MVME5100 Single Board Computer. It
includes necessary information about powering up the system along with the functionality of
the switches, status indicators and I/O ports on the front panels of the board.
2.2Switches and Indicators
The front panel of the MVME5100, as shown in Figure 1-1, incorporates one dual function
toggle switch (ABT/RST) and two Light-Emitting Diode (LED) status indicators (BFL, CPU)
located on the front panel.
2.2.1ABT/RST Switch
Chapter 2
The ABT/RST switch operates in the following manner: if pressed for less than 5 seconds, the
ABORT function is selected, if pressed for more than 5 seconds, the RESET function is selected.
Each function is described below.
2.2.1.1Abort Function
When toggled to ABT, the switch generates an interrupt signal to the processor. The interrupt
is normally used to abort program execution and return control to the debugger firmware
located in the processor and flash memory.
The interrupt signal reaches the processor via ISA bus interrupt line IRQ8. The interrupter
connected to the ABORT switch is an edge-sensitive circuit, filtered to remove switch bounce.
2.2.1.2Reset Function
When toggled to RST, the switch resets all onboard devices. To generate a reset, the switch
must be depressed for more than five seconds.
The on-board Universe ASIC includes both a global and a local reset driver. When the ASIC
operates as the System Controller, the reset driver provides a global system reset by asserting
the SYSRESET# signal.
MVME51005E Single Board Computer Installation and Use (6806800A38D)
37
Page 36
Operation
Additionaly, when the MVME5100 is configured as a System Controller (SCON), a SYSRESET#
signal may be generated by toggling the ABT/RST switch to RST, or by a power-up reset, or by
a watchdog timeout, or by a control bit in the Miscellaneous Control Register (MISC_CTL) in the
Universe ASIC.
Note: SYSRESET# remains asserted for at least 200 ms, as required by the VMEbus
specification.
2.2.2Status Indicators
There are two Light-Emitting Diode (LED) status indicators located on the MVME5100 front
panel. They are labeled BFL and CPU.
2.2.2.1RST Indicator (DS1)
The yellow BFL LED indicates board failure; this indicator is also illuminated during reset as an
LED test. The BFL is set if the MODFAIL Register or FUSE Register is set. Refer to the MVME5100
Single Board Computer Programmer’s Reference Guide (V5100A/PG) for information on these
registers.
2.2.2.2CPU Indicator (DS2)
The green CPU LED indicates CPU activity.
2.2.3Connectors
There are three connectors on the front panel of the MVME5100. Two are bottom-labeled
10/100BASE T and one is labeled DEBUG.
2.2.3.110/100BASE T Ports
The two RJ-45 ports labeled 10/100BASE T provide the 10BASE T/100BASE TX Ethernet LAN
interface. These connectors are top-labeled with the designation LAN1 and LAN2.
38
MVME51005E Single Board Computer Installation and Use (6806800A38D)
Page 37
2.2.3.2DEBUG Port
The RJ-45 port labeled DEBUG provides an RS232 serial communications interface, based on
TL16C550 Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART) controller chip. It is
asynchronous only. For additional information on pin assignments, refer to Chapter 6, Pin
Assignments.
The DEBUG port may be used for connecting a terminal to the MVME5100 to serve as the
firmware console for the factory installed debugger, PPCBug. The port is configured as follows:
8 bits per character
1 stop bit per character
Parity disabled (no parity)
Baud rate = 9600 baud (default baud rate at power-up)
After power-up, the baud rate of the DEBUG port can be reconfigured by using the debugger’s
Port Format (PF) command.
Operation
2.3System Powerup
After you have verified that all necessary hardware preparation is done, that all connections
were made correctly and that the installation is complete, you can power up the system.
2.3.1Initialization Process
The MPU, hardware and firmware initialization process is performed by the PPCBug firmware
upon system powerup or system reset. The firmware initializes the devices on the MVME5100
in preparation for booting an operating system.
The firmware is shipped from the factory with an appropriate set of defaults. Depending on
your system and specific application, there may or may not be a need to modify the firmware
configuration before you boot the operating system. If it is necessary, refer toChapter 3,
PPCBug Firmware for additional information on modifying firmware default parameters.
The following flowchart in Figure 2-1 shows the basic initialization process that takes place
during MVME5100 system start-ups.

3.1Introduction
The PPCBug firmware is the layer of software just above the hardware. The firmware provides
the proper initialization for the devices on the MVME5100 upon powerup or reset.
This chapter describes the basics of the PPCBug and its architecture. It also describes the
monitor (interactive command portion of the firmware), and provides information on using
the PPCBug debugger and the special commands. A complete list of PPCBug commands is also
provided.
For full user information about PPCBug, refer to the PPCBug Firmware Package User’s Manual
and the PPCBug Diagnostics Manual, listed inAppendix D, Related Documentation.
3.2PPCBug Overview
Chapter 3
The PPCBug debugger firmware is a powerful evaluation and debugging tool for systems built
around Motorola microprocessor. Facilities are available for loading and executing user
programs under complete operator control for system evaluation. The PPCBug provides a high
degree of functionality, user friendliness, portability and ease of maintenance.
The PPCBug also achieves its portability because it was written entirely in the C programming
language, except where necessary to use assembler functions.
PPCBug includes commands for:
Display and modification of memory
Breakpoint and tracing capabilities
A powerful assembler and disassembler useful for patching programs
A self-test at powerup feature which verifies the integrity of the system
MVME51005E Single Board Computer Installation and Use (6806800A38D)

Page 40
PPCBug Firmware
PPCBug consists of three parts:
A command-driven, user-interactive software debugger, described in the PPCBug
Firmware Package User’s Manual, listed in Appendix D, Related Documentation (hereafter
referred to as “debugger” or “PPCBug”).
A command-driven diagnostics package for the MVME5100 hardware (hereafter referred
to as “diagnostics”). The diagnostics package is described in the PPCBug Diagnostics
Manual, listed in Appendix D, Related Documentation.
A user interface or debug/diagnostics monitor that accepts commands from the system
console terminal.
When using PPCBug, you operate out of either the debugger directory or the diagnostic
directory.
If you are in the debugger directory, the debugger prompt PPC6-Bug> is displayed and you
have all of the debugger commands at your disposal.
If you are in the diagnostic directory, the diagnostic prompt PPC6-Diag> is displayed and
you have all of the diagnostic commands at your disposal as well as all of the debugger
commands.
Because PPCBug is command-driven, it performs its various operations in response to user
commands entered at the keyboard. When you enter a command, PPCBug executes the
command and the prompt reappears. However, if you enter a command that causes execution
of user target code (for example, GO), then control may or may not return to PPCBug,
depending on the outcome of the user program.
3.2.1Implementation and Memory Requirements
PPCBug is written largely in the C programming language, providing benefits of portability and
maintainability. Where necessary, assembly language has been used in the form of separately
compiled program modules containing only assembler code.
Physically, PPCBug is contained in two socketed 32-pin PLCC Flash devices that together
provide 1MB of storage. The executable code is checksummed at every power-on or reset
firmware entry. The result (which includes a precalculated checksum contained in the flash
devices), is verified against the expected checksum.
42
MVME51005E Single Board Computer Installation and Use (6806800A38D)
Page 41
PPCBug requires a maximum of 768KB of read/write memory. The debugger allocates this
space from the top of memory. For example, a system containing 64MB (0x04000000) of
read/write memory will place the PPCBug memory locations 0x03F40000 to 0x3FFFFFF.
Additionally, the first 1MB of DRAM is reserved for the exception vector table and stack.
3.3Using PPCBug
PPCBug is command-driven; it performs its various operations in response to commands that
you enter at the keyboard. When the PPC6-Bug> prompt appears on the screen, the debugger
is ready to accept debugger commands. When the PPC6-Diag> prompt appears on the screen,
the debugger is ready to accept diagnostics commands. To switch from one mode to the other,
enter SD.
What you enter is stored in an internal buffer. Execution begins only after you press the Return
or Enter key. This allows you to correct entry errors, if necessary, with the control characters
described in the PPCBug Firmware Package User’s Manual, listed in Appendix D, Related
Documentation.
PPCBug Firmware
After the debugger executes the command, the prompt reappears. However, depending on
what the user program does, if the command causes execution of a user target code (that is,
GO), then control may or may not return to the debugger.
For example, if a breakpoint has been specified, then control returns to the debugger when the
breakpoint is encountered during execution of the user program. Alternately, the user program
could return to the debugger by means of the System Call Handler routine RETURN (described
in the PPCBug Firmware Package User’s Manual). For more about this, refer to the GD, GO and
GT command descriptions in the PPCBug Firmware Package User’s Manual, listed in Appendix
D, Related Documentation.
A debugger command is made up of the following parts:
The command name, either uppercase or lowercase (for example, MD or md)
Any required arguments, as specified by command
At least one space before the first argument. Precede all other arguments with either a
space or comma
One or more options. Precede an option or a string of options with a semicolon (;). If no
option is entered, the command’s default option conditions are used.

Refer to the PPCBug Firmware Package User's Manual for a description of the use of ENV.
Additional information on registers in the Universe ASIC that affect these parameters is
contained in your MVME5100 Programmer’s Reference Guide, listed in Appendix D, Related
Documentation.
Listed and described below are the parameters that you can configure using ENV. The default
values shown were those in effect when this publication went to print.
3.4.2.1Configuring the PPCBug Parameters
The parameters that can be configured using ENV are:
Bug or System environment [B/S] = B?
BBug is the mode where no system type of support is
displayed. However, system-related items are still
available. (Default)
PPCBug Firmware
SSystem is the standard mode of operation, and is
the default mode if NVRAM should fail. System
mode is defined in the PPCBug Firmware Package
User's Manual listed in Appendix D, Related
Documentation.
Maximum Memory Usage (MB,0=AUTO) = 1?
This parameter specifies the maximum number of megabytes the bug is allowed to use.
Allocation begins at the top of physical memory and expands downward as more memory is
required until the maximum value is reached.
If a value of zero is specified, memory will continue to be increased as needed until half of the
available memory is consumed (that is, 32MB in a 64MB system). This mode is useful for
determining the full memory required for a specific configuration. Once this is determined, a
hard value may be given to the parameter and it is guaranteed that no memory will be used
over this amount.
The default value for this parameter is one.
Note: The bug does not automatically acquire all of the memory it is allowed. It accumulates
memory as necessary in one megabyte blocks.

53
Page 52
PPCBug Firmware
The address where the network interface configuration parameters are to be saved/retained in
NVRAM; these parameters are the necessary parameters to perform an unattended network
boot. A typical offset might be 0x1000, but this value is application-specific. (Default =
0x00001000)
If you use the NIOT debugger command, these parameters need to be saved somewhere in
the offset range 0x00001000 through 0x000016F7. The NIOT parameters do not exceed
128 bytes in size. The setting of this ENV pointer determines their location. If you have used
the same space for your own program information or commands, they will be overwritten
and lost.
You can relocate the network interface configuration parameters in this space by using the
ENV command to change the Network Auto Boot Configuration Parameters Offset from its
default of 0x00001000 to the value you need to be clear of your data within NVRAM.
54

commands in the startup command buffer. During this delay, you may press any key to prevent
the execution of the startup command buffer.
The default value of this parameter causes a startup delay of 5 seconds.
Firmware Command Buffer:
['NULL' terminates entry]?
The Firmware Command Buffer contents contain the BUG commands which are executed
upon firmware startup.
BUG commands you place into the command buffer should be typed just as you enter the
commands from the command line.
The string 'NULL' on a new line terminates the command line entries.
All PPCBug commands, except for the following, may be used within the command buffer: DU,
ECHO, LO, TA, VE.
Note: Interactive editing of the startup command buffer is not supported. If changes are
needed to an existing set of startup commands, a new set of commands with changes must be
reentered.

MVME51005E Single Board Computer Installation and Use (6806800A38D)
Page 67
Functional Description
Designed to meet the needs of OEMs servicing the military and aerospace, industrial
automation and semiconductor process equipment market segments, the MVME5100 is
available in both commercial grade (0° to 55° C) and industrial grade (–20° to 71° C)
temperatures.
The MVME5100 has two Input/Output (I/O) modes of operation: PMC and SBC (also called 761
mode or IPMC mode). In PMC mode, it is fully backwards compatible with previous generation
dual PMC products such as the MVME2300 and MVME2400.
In the SBC mode, the MVME5100 is backwards compatible with the corresponding Artesyn
MVME712 or MVME761 transition board originated for use with previous generation singleboard computer products, such as the MVME2600 and MVME2700.
It is important to note that MVME712 and MVME761 compatibility is accomplished with the
addition of the corresponding IPMC712 or IPMC761 (an optional add-on PMC card). The
IPMC712 and IPMC761 provides rear I/O support for one single-ended ultra-wide SCSI device,
one parallel port, four serial ports (two synchronous for 761 and one for 712, and two
asynchronous/synchronous for 761 and three for 712) and I2C functionality through the Hawk
ASIC. This multi-function PMC card is offered with the MVME5100 as a factory bundled
configuration.

Functional Description
4.3.2Processor
The MVME5100 incorporates a BGA foot print that supports both the MCP7410 and the
MCP75x processors. The maximum external processor bus speed is 100 MHz.
Note: The MCP7410 is configured to operate only with the PowerPC 60xbus interface.
4.3.3System Memory Controller and PCI Host Bridge
The on-board Hawk ASIC provides the bridge function between the processor’s bus and the PCI
bus. It provides 32-bit addressing and 64-bit data; however, 64-bit addressing (dual address
cycle) is not supported. The ASIC also supports various processor external bus frequencies up
to100 MHz.
There are four programmable map decoders for each direction to provide flexible address
mappings between the processor and the PCI bus. The ASIC also provides an Multi-Processor
Interrupt Controller (MPIC) to handle various interrupt sources. They are: four MPIC timer
interrupts, interrupts from all PCI devices and two software interrupts.
4.3.4Memory
The following subsections describe various memory capabilities on the MVME5100 including
Flash memory and ECC SDRAM memory.
4.3.4.1Flash Memory
The MVME5100 contains two banks of Flash memory. Bank B consists of two 32-pin devices
which can be populated with 1MB of Flash memory (only 8-bit writes are supported for this
bank). Refer to the application note following for more write-protect information on this
product.
Bank A has 4 16-bit Smart Voltage FLASH SMT devices. With 32Mbit flash devices, the flash
memory size is 16MB. Note that only 32-bit writes are supported for this bank of flash memory.
Application Note: For Am29DL322C or Am29DL323C, 32Megabit (4M x 8-Bit/2M x 16-bit)
CMOS 3.0 Volt-only Flash Memory.
MVME51005E Single Board Computer Installation and Use (6806800A38D)
71
Page 70
Functional Description
The Write Protect function provides a hardware method of protecting certain boot sectors. If
the system asserts V IL (low signal) on the WP#/ACC pin, the device disables the program and
erase capability, independently of whether those sectors were protected or unprotected using
the method described in the Sector/Sector Block Protection and Unprotection of the AMD
datasheet. The two outermost 8Kbyte boot sectors are the two sectors containing the lowest
addresses in a bottom-boot-configured device, or the two sectors containing the highest
addresses in a top-boot-configured device.
The aforementioned implemented device (at the time of this printing is the only qualified Flash
device used on this product) is a top-boot device, and as such, the write protected area is in the
upper 16KB of each device. Since it uses 4 devices for the soldered Flash bank, the write
protected region corresponds to the upper 64KB of the soldered Flash memory map. Thus the
address range of $F4FF 0000 to F4FF FFFF is the write protected region when the J16 header is
jumpered across pins 2 and 3.
If PPCBug tries to write to those write-protected address areas when pins 2-3 on J16 are set, the
command will simply not finish (i.e., erase sector function stops at $F4FF 0000).
4.3.4.2ECC SDRAM Memory
The MVME5100’s on-board memory and optional memory mezzanines allow for a variety of
memory size options. Memory size can be 64 or 512MB for a total of 1.5GB on-board and
mezzanine ECC memory. The memory is controlled by the hardware which provides single-bit
error correction and double-bit error detection (ECC is calculated over 72-bits).
Either 1 or 2 mezzanines can be installed. Each mezzanine will add 1 bank of SDRAM memory
of 256 or 512MB. A total of 1GB of mezzanine memory can be added. Refer to Chapter 5,
RAM500 Memory Expansion Module, for more information.
4.3.5P2 Input/Output (I/O) Modes
The MVME5100 has two P2 I/O modes (SBC and PMC) that are user- configurable with jumpers
on the board (J6 and J20). The jumpers route the on-board Ethernet port 2 to row C of the P2
connector. Ethernet jumpers (J4, J10, and J17) should also be configured.
72
MVME51005E Single Board Computer Installation and Use (6806800A38D)
Page 71
The SBC mode (also called 761 or IPMC mode) are backwards compatible with the
corresponding MVME712 and MVME761 transition cards and the P2 adapter card (excluding
PMC I/O routing) used on the MVME2600/2700. The SBC mode is accomplished by configuring
the on-board jumpers and attaching an IPMC712 or IPMC761 PMC in PMC slot 1 of the
MVME5100.
PMC mode is backwards compatible with the MVME2300/MVME2400. PMC mode is
accomplished by simply configuring the on-board jumpers.
Note: Refer to Chapter 6, Pin Assignments for P2 Input/Output Mode jumper settings.
4.3.6Input/Output Interfaces
The following subsections describe the major I/O interfaces on the MVME5100 including
Ethernet, VMEbus, asynchronous communications ports, real-time clock/NVRAM/Watchdog
Timer, other timer interfaces, interrupt routing capabilities and IDSEL routing capabilities.
Functional Description
4.3.6.1Ethernet Interface
The MVME5100 incorporates dual Ethernet interfaces (Port 1 and Port 2) via two Fast Ethernet
PCI controller chips.
The Port 1 10BaseT/100BaseTX interface is routed to the front panel. The Port 2 Ethernet
interface is routed to either the front panel or the P2 connector as configured by jumpers. The
front panel connectors are of the RJ45 type.
Every board is assigned two Ethernet Station Addresses. The address is $0001AFXXXXX where
XXXXX is the unique number assigned to each interface. Each Ethernet Station Address is
displayed on a label attached to the PMC front-panel keep-out area.
In addition, LAN 1 Ethernet address is stored in the configuration area of the NVRAM specified
by the Boot ROM and in SROM.
4.3.6.2VMEbus Interface
The VMEbus interface is provided by the Universe II ASIC. Refer to the Universe II User’s Manual,
as listed in Appendix D, Related Documentation, for additional information.

73
Page 72
Functional Description
4.3.6.3Asynchronous Communications
The MVME5100 provides dual asynchronous debug ports. The serial signals COM1 and COM2
are routed through appropriate EIA-232 drivers and receivers to an RJ45 connector on the front
panel (COM1) and an on-board connector (COM2). The external signals are ESD protected.
4.3.6.4Real-Time Clock & NVRAM & Watchdog Timer
The MVME5100’s design incorporates 32KB of non-volatile static RAM, along with a real-time
clock and a watchdog function an integrated device. Refer to the M48T37V CMOS 32Kx8
Timekeeper SRAM Data Sheet, as referenced in Appendix D, Related Documentation for
additional programming and engineering information.
4.3.6.5Timers
Timers and counters on the MVME5100 are provided by the board’s hardware (Hawk ASIC).
There are four 32-bit timers on the board that may be used for system timing or to generate
periodic interrupts.
4.3.6.6Interrupt Routing
Legacy interrupt assignment for the PCI/ISA Bridge is maintained to ensure software
compatibility between the MVME5100 and the MVME2700 while in SBC mode.
This is accomplished by using the corresponding on-board IPMC712 or IPMC761 connector to
route the PCI/ISA Bridge interrupt signal to the external interrupt 0 of the Hawk ASIC (MPIC).
Note: The SCSI device on either the IPMC712 or IPMC761 uses the standard INTA# pin J11-04
of PMC Slot 1.
4.3.6.7IDSEL Routing
Legacy IDSEL assignment for the PCI/ISA Bridge is also maintained to ensure software
compatibility between MVME5100 and the MVME2700 while in SBC mode (also called 761 or
IPMC mode).
This is accomplished by using either the on-board IPMC712 or IPMC761 connector to route
IDSEL (AD11) to the PCI/ISA Bridge on the IPMC712 or IPMC761.
Note: The SCSI device on the IPMC712 and IPMC761 uses the standard IDSEL pin J12-25
connected to AD16.

RAM500 Memory Expansion Module
5.1Overview
The RAM500 memory expansion module can be used on the MVME5100 as an option for
additional memory capability. Each expansion module is a single bank of SDRAM with either
256 or 512MB of available ECC memory. Currently, two expansion modules can be used in
tandum to produce an additional expanded memory capability of 1GB. There are two
configurations of the board to accommodate tandum usage. The bottom expansion module
has both a bottom and top connector: one to plug into the base board, and one to mate with
the second RAM500 module. The top expansion module is designed with just a bottom
connector to plug into the lower RAM500 module. The RAM500 incorporates a Serial ROM for
system memory Serial Presence Detect (SPD) data.
A maximum of two expansion modules are allowed: one bottom and one top. If only one
module is used, the RAM500 module with the top configuration is recommended.

RAM500 Memory Expansion Module
5.3Functional Description
The following sections describe the physical and electrical structure of the RAM500 memory
expansion module.
5.3.1RAM500 Description
The RAM500 is a memory expansion module that is used on the MVME5100 Single Board
Computer. The RAM500 is based on a single memory mezzanine board design with the
flexibility of being populated with different sized SDRAM components and SPD options to
provide a variety of memory configurations. The design of the RAM500 allows any memory
size module to connect to and operate with any other available memory size module.
The optional RAM500 memory expansion module is currently available in three sizes: 128MB,
256MB, and 512MB, with a total added capacity of 1GB. The SDRAM memory is controlled by
the Hawk ASIC, which provides single-bit error correction and double-bit error detection. ECC
is calculated over 72-bits. Refer to the MVME5100 Single Board Computer Programmer’s
Reference Guide (V5100A/PG) for more information.
78
The RAM500 consists of a single bank/block of memory. The memory block size is dependent
upon the SDRAM devices installed. Refer to Table 5-2 for memory options.
The RAM500 memory expansion module is connected to the host board with a 140-pin AMP
0.6mm Free Height plug connector. If the expansion module is designed to accommodate
another RAM500 module, the bottom expansion module will have two 140-pin AMP
connectors installed: one on the bottom side of the module, and one on the top side of the
module. The RAM500 memory expansion module draws +3.3V through this connector.
When populated, the optional RAM500 memory expansion memory blocks should appear as
Block C and Block E to the Hawk ASIC. Block C and E are used because each of the module’s SPD
is defined to correspond to two banks of memory each: C and D for the first SPD and E and F for
the second SPD.

5.3.2SROM
The RAM500 memory expansion module contains a single 3.3V, 256 x 8, Serial EEPROM device
(AT24C02). The Serial EEPROM provides Serial Presence Detect (SPD) storage of the module
memory subsystem configuration. The RAM500 SPD is software addressable by a unique
address as follows: The first RAM500 attached to the host board has its SPD addressable at
$AA. The second RAM500 attached to the host board has its SPD addressable at $AC. This
dynamic address relocation of the RAM500 SPD shall be done using the bottom-side
connector signal A1_SPD and A0_SPD.
5.4RAM500 Module Installation
One or more RAM500 memory expansion modules can be mounted on top of the MVME5100
for additional memory capacity. To upgrade or install a RAM500 module, refer to below figure
and proceed as follows:
1.Attach an ESD strap to your wrist. Attach the other end of the ESD strap to the chassis as a
ground. The ESD strap must be secured to your wrist and to ground throughout the
procedure.
2.Perform an operating system shutdown. Turn the AC or DC power off and remove the AC
cord or DC power lines from the system. Remove the chassis or system cover(s) as
necessary for access to the CompactPCI boards.
3.Carefully remove the MVME5100 from its VME card slot and lay it flat, with connectors P1
and P2 facing you.
4.Inspect the RAM500 module that is being installed on the MVME5100 host board (bottom
configuration if two are being installed, top configuration if only one is being installed) to
ensure that standoffs are installed in the three mounting holes on the module.

5.With standoffs installed in the three mounting holes on the RAM500 module, align the
standoffs and the P1 connector on the module with the three holes and the J16 connector
on the MVME5100 host board and press the two connectors together until they are firmly
seated in place.
6.(Optional step) If a second RAM500 module is being used, align the top connector on the
bottom RAM500 module with the bottom connector on the top RAM500 module and
press the two connectors together until the connectors are seated in place.
7.Insert the three short Phillips screws through the holes at the corners of the RAM500 and
screw them into the standoffs.
8.Turn the entire assembly over, and fasten the three nuts provided to the standoff posts on
the bottom of the MVME5100 host board.

9.Reinstall the MVME5100 assembly in its proper card slot. Be sure the host board is well
seated in the backplane connectors. Do not damage or bend connector pins.
10. Replace the chassis or system cover(s), reconnect the system to the AC or DC power
source, and turn the equipment power on.
5.5RAM500 Connectors
RAM500 memory expansion modules are populated with one or two connectors. If the
module is to be used in tandum with a second RAM500 module, the “bottom” module will
have two connectors: one to mate with the MVME5100 host board (P1), and one to mate with
the “top” RAM500 module (J1). The “top” RAM500 module has only one connector, since it
needs to mate only with the RAM500 module directly underneath it and because an added
connector on a tandum RAM500 configuration would exceed the height limitations in some
backplanes. If only one RAM500 module is being used, a top module, single connector
configuration is used.
A 4H plug and receptacle are used on both boards to provide a 4 millimeter stacking height
between dual RAM500 cards and the host board.
The following subsections specify the pin assignments for the connectors on the RAM500.
5.5.1Bottom Side Memory Expansion Connector (P1)
The bottom side connector on the RAM500 is a 140-pin AMP 0.6mm Free Height mating plug.
This plug includes common ground contacts that mate with standard AMP receptacle
assemblies or AMP GIGA assemblies with ground plates. A single memory expansion module
will have 1 bank of SDRAM for a maximum of 5Mbytes of memory. Attaching a second memory
module to the first module will provide 2 banks of SDRAM with a maximum of 1Gigabytes

5.6RAM500 Programming Issues
The RAM500 contains no user programmable registers, other than the Serial Presence Detect
(SPD) Data.
5.6.1Serial Presence Detect (SPD) Data
This register is partially described for the RAM500 within the MVME5100 Single Board
Computer Programmer’s Reference Guide. The register is accessed through the I2C interface
of the Hawk ASIC on the host board (MVME5100). The RAM500 SPD is software addressable by
a unique address as follows: The first RAM500 attached to the host board has has an SPD
address of $AA. The second RAM500 attached to the top of the first RAM500 has an SPD
address of $AC.

Note: PIN 130, 131, MEZZ1_L, MEZZ2_L, configures the board’s local bus frequency. If a single
mezzanine is attached to the board, MEZZ1_L will be pulled down on the board. If a second
mezzanine is attached on-top to the first, MEZZ2_L will be pulled down on the board. This may
cause the clock generation logic to set the local bus frequency to 83.33 MHz if necessary.
