BOARD LEVEL
Introduction
This chapter describes the board level hardware features of the MVME162
Embedded Controller. The chapter is organized with a board level overview
and features list in this introduction, followed by a more detailed hardware
functional description. Front panel switches and indicators are included in the
detailed hardware functional description. The chapter closes with some
general memory maps.
All programmable registers in the MVME162 that reside in ASICs are covered
in the MVME162 Embedded Controller Programmer’s Reference Guide.
Overview
The MVME162 is based on the MC68040 or MC68LC040 microprocessor.
Various versions of the MVME162 have 1 MB, 4 MB, or 8 MB of parityprotected DRAM, 8 KB of SRAM (with battery backup), time of day clock (with
battery backup), Ethernet transceiver interface, two serial ports with EIA-232D or EIA-530 interface, six tick timers, watchdog timer, a PROM socket, 1 MB
Flash memory (one or four Flash devices), four IndustryPack (IP) interfaces,
SCSI bus interface with DMA, VMEbus controller, and 512 KB of SRAM with
battery backup.
HARDWARE DESCRIPTION
1
The I/O on the MVME162 is connected to the VMEbus P2 connector. The main
board is connected through a P2 transition board and cables to the transition
boards. The MVME162 supports the transition boards MVME712-12,
MVME712-13, MVME712M, MVME712A, MVME712AM, and MVME712B
(referred to in this manual as MVME712X, unless separately specified). The
MVME712X transition boards provide configuration headers and provide
industry standard connectors for the I/O devices.
The I/O connection for the serial ports on the MVME162 is also provided by
two DB-25 front panel I/O connectors. The MVME712 series transition boards
were designed to support the MVME167 boards, but can be used on the
MVME162 by following some special precautions. (Refer to the section on the
Serial Communications Interface, later in this chapter, for more information.)
These transition boards provide configuration headers, serial port drivers and
industry standard connectors for the I/O devices.

Board Level Hardware Description
The VMEbus interface is provided by an ASIC called the VMEchip2. The
VMEchip2 includes two tick timers, a watchdog timer, programmable map
decoders for the master and slave interfaces, and a VME bus to/from local bus
DMA controller, a VMEbus to/from local bus non-DMA programmed access
interface, a VMEbus interrupter, a VMEbus system controller, a VMEbus
interrupt handler, and a VMEbus requester.
Processor-to-VMEbus transfers can be D8, D16, or D32. VMEchip2 DMA
transfers to the VMEbus, however, can be D16, D32, D16/BLT, D32/BLT, or
D64/MBLT.
The MCchip ASIC provides four tick timers, the interface to the LAN chip,
SCSI chip, serial port chip, BBRAM, and the programmable interface for the
parity-protected DRAM and/or SRAM mezzanine board.

Introduction
Special Considerations for Elevated Temperature Operation
The following information is f or the user who has an application for the
MVME162 which will subject it to high temperature.
The MVME162 uses commercial grade devic es. Therefor e, it can operate in an
environment with ambient air temperature from 0° C to 70° C. There are many
factors that affect the ambient temperature seen by components on the
MVME162: inlet air temperature; air flow characteristics; number, types, and
locations of IndustryPack (IP) modules; power dissipation of adjacent boards
in the system; etc.
A temperature profile was performed for the MVME162-23 in an MVME945
12-slot VME chassis. This board was loaded with one GreenSpring IP-Dual
P/T module (position a) and three GreenSpring IP-488 modules (positions b,
c, and d). One twenty-five watt load board was installed adjacent to each side
of the board under test. The exit air velocity was approximately 200 LFM
between the MVME162 and the IP-Dual P/T module. Under these
circumstances, a 10° C rise between the inlet and exit air was observed. At 70°
C exit air temperature (60° C inlet air), the junction temperatures of devices on
the MVME162 were calculated (from the measured case temperatures) and do
not exceed 100° C.
Caution
For elevated temperature operation, the user must perform
similar measurements and calculations to determine what
operating margin exists for any specific environment.
1
The following are some steps that the user can take to help make elevated
temperature operation possible:
1.Position the MVME162 board in the chassis for maximum airflow over the
component side of the board.
2.Avoid placing boards with high power dissipation adjacent to the
MVME162.
3.Use low power IP modules only. The preferred locations for IP modules
are position a (J2 and J3) and position d (J18 and J19).

Board Level Hardware Description
Manual Terminology
Throughout this manual, a convention is used which precedes data and
address parameters by a character identifying the numeric format as follows:
$dollarspecifies a hexadecimal character
%percentspecifies a binary number
&ersandspecifies a decimal number
For example, "12" is the decimal number twelve, and "$12" is the decimal
number eighteen.
Unless otherwise specified, all address references are in hexadecimal.
An asterisk (*) following the signal name for signals which are level significant
denotes that the signal is true or valid when the signal is low.
An asterisk (*) following the signal name for signals which are edge significant
denotes that the actions initiated by that signal occur on high to low transition.
In this manual, assertion and negation are used to specify forcing a signal to a
particular state. In particular, assertion and assert refer to a signal that is active
or true; negation and negate indicate a signal that is inactive or false. These
terms are used independently of the voltage level (high or low) that they
represent.
Data and address sizes are defined as follows:
❏A byte is eight bits, numbered 0 through 7, with bit 0 being the least
significant.
❏A two-byte is 16 bits, numbered 0 through 15, with bit 0 being the least
significant. For the MVME162 and other CISC mo dules, this is called a
word.
❏A four-byte is 32 bits, numbered 0 through 31, with bit 0 being the least
significant. For the MVME162 and other CISC mo dules, this is called a
longword.
The terms control bit and status bit are used extensively in this document. The
term control bit is used to describe a bit in a register that can be set and cleared
under software control. The term true is used to indicate that a bit is in the state
that enables the function it controls. The term fa lse is used to indicate th at the
bit is in the state that disables the function it controls. In all tables, the terms 0
and 1 are used to describe the actual value that should be written to the bit, or
the value that it yields when read. The term status bit is used to describe a bit
in a register that reflects a specific condition. The status bit can be read by
software to determine operational or exception conditions.

Board Level Hardware Description
Functional Description
This section contains a functional description of the majo r blocks on the
MVME162 Embedded Controller.
Front Panel Switches and Indicators
There are switches and LEDs on the front panel of the MVME162. The switches
are RESET and ABORT. The RESET switch resets all onboard devices and
drives SYSRESET* if the board is system controller. The RESET switch may be
disabled by software.
When enabled by software, the ABORT switch generates an interrupt at a userprogrammable level. It is normally used to abort program execution and
return to the debugger.
There are eight LEDs on the MVME162 front panel: FAIL, STAT, RUN, SCON,
LAN, FUSE (LAN power), SCSI, and VME.
The red FAIL LED (part of DS1) lights when the BRDFAIL signal line is active.
The MC68040 status lines are decoded, on the MVME162, to drive the yellow
STAT (status) LED (part of DS1). In this case, a halt condition from the
processor lights the LED.
The green RUN LED (part of DS2) lights when the local bus TIP* signal line is
low. This indicates one of the local bus masters is executin g a local bus cycle.
The green SCON LED (part of DS2) lights when the VMEchip2 is the VMEbus
system controller.
The green LAN LED (part of DS3) lights when the LAN chip is local bus
master.
The MVME162 supplies +12Vdc power to the Ethernet transceiver interface
through a fuse. The green FUSE (LAN power) LED (part of DS3) lights when
power is available to the transceiver interface.
The green SCSI LED (part of DS4) lights when the SCSI chip is local bus master.
The green VME LED (part of DS4) lights when the board is using the VMEbus
(VMEbus AS* is asserted by the VMEchip2) or when the board is accessed by
the VMEbus (VMEchip2 is the local bu s master).
1-10MVME162 Embe dded Controller Install a tion Guide
Data Bus Structure
The local data bus on the MVME162 is a 32-bit synchronous bus that is based
on the MC68040 bus, and which supports burst transfers and snooping. The
various local bus master and slave devices use the local bus to communicate.
The local bus is arbitrated by priority type arbiter and the priority of the local
bus masters from highest to lowest is: 825 96C A LAN, 53C710 SCSI, VMEbus,
and MPU. Generally speaking, any master can access any slave; however, not
all combinations pass the common sense test. Refer to the MVME162 Embedded Controlle r Pro gra mmer’s Referen ce Gu ide and to the user’s guide for each device
to determine its port size, data bus connection, and any restrictions that apply
when accessing the device.
MC68040 or MC68LC040 MPU
The MC68040 or MC68LC040 processor is used on the MVME162. The
MC68040 has on-chip instruction and data caches and a floating point
processor. The major difference between the two processors is that the
MC68040 has a floating point coprocessor. Refer to the M68040 Micr oproces sor User’s Manual for more information.
MC68xx040 Cache
The MVME162 local bus masters (VMEchip2, MC68xx040, 53C710 SCSI
controller, and 82596CA Ethernet controller) have programmable control of
the snoop/caching mode. The MVME162 local bus slaves which support
MC68xx040 bus snooping are defined in the Local Bus Memory Map table later
in this chapter.
Functional Description
1
No-VMEbus-Interface Option
The MVME162 can be operated as an embedded controller without the
VMEbus interface. To support this feature, certain logic in the VMEchip2 has
been duplicated in the MCchip. This logic is inhibited in the MCchip if the
VMEchip2 is present. The enables for these functions are controlled by
software and MCchip hardware initialization.
Contact your local Motorola sales office for ordering information.

Board Level Hardware Description
Memory Options
The following memory options are used on the different versions of MVME162
boards.
DRAM Options
The MVME162 implementati on includes a 1 MB, 4 MB, or 8 MB DRAM option.
The DRAM architecture is non-interleaved for 1 MB and 8 MB; while the 4 MB
architecture is interleaved. Parity protection can be enabled with interrupts or
bus exception when a parity error is detected. DRAM performance is specified
in the section on the DRAM Memory Controller in the MCchip Programming
Model in the MVME162 Embedded Controller Programmer’s Reference Guide.
SRAM Options
The MVME162 implementation includes a 512 KB SRAM option. SRAM
architecture is single non-interleaved. SRAM performance is specified in the
section on the SRAM Memory Controller in the MCchip Programming Model
in the MVME162 Embedded Controller Programmer’s Reference Guide. A battery
supplies VCC to the SRAMs when main power is removed. The worst case
elapsed time for battery protection is 200 days.
The SRAM arrays are not parity protected.
The MVME162 SRAM battery backup function is provided by a Dallas
DS1210S. The DS1210S supports primary and secondary power sources. When
the main board power fails, the DS1210S selects the source with the highest
voltage. If one source should fail, the DS1210S switches to the redundant
source. Each time the board is powered, the DS1210S checks power sources
and if the voltage of the backup sources is less than two volts, the second
memory cycle is blocked. This allows software to provide an early warning to
avoid data loss. Because the DS1210S may block the second access, the
software should do at least two accesses before relying on the data.
The MVME162 provides jumpers (on J 20) that allow either power source of the
DS1210S to be connected to the VMEbus +5 V STDBY pin or to one cell of the
onboard battery. For example, the primary system backup source may be a
battery connected to the VMEbus +5 V STDBY pin and the secondary source
may be the onboard battery. If the system source should fail or the board is
removed from the chassis, the onboard battery takes over. Refer to Cha pter 2
for the jumper configurations.
1-12MVME162 Embe dded Controller Install a tion Guide
Caution
The SRAM is controlled by the MCchip, and the a ccess time is programmable.
Refer to the MCchip description in the MVME162 Embedded Controller Programmer’s Reference Guide for more detail.
About the Battery
The power source for the onboard SRAM is a RAYOVAC FB122 5 battery with
two BR1225 type lithium cells which is so cketed for easy removal and
replacement. A small capacitor is provided to allow the battery to be quickly
replaced without data loss.
The lifetime of the battery is very dependent on the ambient temperature of th e
board and the power-on duty cycle. The lithium battery supplied on the
MVME162 should provide at least two years of backup time with the board
powered off and with an ambient temperature of 40° C. If the power-on duty
cycle is 50% (the board is powered on half of the time), the battery lifetime is
four years. At lower ambient temperatures the backup time is greatly
extended and may approach the shelf life of the battery.
For proper operation of the SRAM, some jumper
combination must be installed on the Backup Power Source
Select Header (J20). If one of the jumpers is used to select
the battery, the battery must be installed on the MVME162.
The SRAM may malfunction if inputs to the DS1210S are
left unconnected.

When a board is stored, the battery should be disconnected to prolong battery
life. This is especially important at high ambient temperatures. The MVME162
is shipped with the batteries disconnected (i.e., with VMEbus +5V standby
voltage selected as both primary and secondary power source). If you intend
to use the battery as a power source, whether primary or secondary, it is
necessary to reconfigure the jumpers on J20 before installing the module. Refer
to SRAM Backup Power Source Select Header J20 in Chapter 2 for available
jumper configurations.
The power leads from the battery are exposed on the solder side of the board,
therefore the board should not be placed on a conductive surface or stored in
a conductive bag unless the battery is removed.

EPROM and Flash
Lithium batteries incorporate inflammable materials such
as lithium and organic solvents. If lithium batteries are
mistreated or handled incorrectly, they may burst open and
ignite, possible resulting in injury and/or fire. When
dealing with lithium batteries, carefully follow the
precautions listed below in order to prevent accide nts.
The MVME162 implementation includes 1 MB of Flash memory (an 8-Mbit
Flash device organized as a 1M X 8, or four 2-Mbit Flash devices organized as
256Kbit x 8). For information on programming Flash, refer to the Intel
documents listed in Related Documentatio n in this chapter. The EPROM
location is a standard JEDEC 32 - p in PLCC capable of 4 Mbit densities
organized as a 512 KB X 8 device. Depending on a jumper setting (GPIO3, pins
9-10 on J22), the MC68xx040 reset code can be fetched from either the Flash
(GPIO3 installed) or EPROM (GPIO3 removed).
Battery Backed Up RAM and Clock
The MK48T08 RAM and clock chip is used on the MVME162. This chip provides a time of day clock, oscillator, crystal, power failure detection, memory
write protection, 8KB of RAM, an d a battery in one 28-pin package. The clock
provides seconds, minutes, hours, day, date, month, and year in BCD 24-hour
format. Corrections for 28- day, 29-day (leap year), and 30-day months are
automatically made. No interrupts are generated by the clock. The MK48T08
1-14MVME162 Embe dded Controller Install a tion Guide
is an 8 bit device; however, the interface provided by the MCchip supports 8bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit accesses to the MK48T08. Refer to the MCchip description in the MVME162 Embedded Contr oll er Pro gram mer’s Reference Gui de and t o
the MK48T08 data sheet for detailed programming and battery life
information.
VMEbus Interface and VMEchip2
The local bus to VMEbus interface and the VMEbus to local bus interface are
provided by the optional VMEchip2. The VMEchip2 can also provide the
VMEbus system controller functions. Refer to the VMEchip2 description in the
MVME162 Embedded Controller Programmer’s Reference Guide for detailed
programming information.
Note that the

$FFF4202C bits 23-16.
ABORT switch logic in the VMEchip2 is not used. The GPI inputs
I/O Interfaces
The MVME162 provides onboard I/O for many system applications. The I/O
functions include serial ports, IndustryPack (IP) interfaces, optional LAN
Ethernet transceiver interface, and optional SCSI mass storage interface.
Functional Description

Serial Communications Interface
The MVME162 uses a Zilog Z85230 serial communications controller to
implement the two serial communications interfaces. Each interface supports
CTS, DCD, RTS, and DTR control signals; as well as the TxD and RxD
transmit/receive data signals, and TxC/RxC synchronous clock sig nals.
The Z85230 supports synchrono us (SDLC/HDLC) and asynchronous
protocols. The MVME162 hardware supports asynchronous serial baud rates
of 110b/s to 38.4Kb/s.
The Z85230 supplies an interrupt vector during interrupt acknowledge cycles.
The vector is modified based upon the interrupt source within the Z85230.
Interrupt request levels are programmed via the MCchip. Refer to the Z 85230
data sheet listed in this chapter, and to the MCchip Pro gramming Model in the
MVME162 Embedded Controller Programmer’s Reference Guide, for information.
MVME162 Serial Port 1
The A port of the Z85230 is interfaced as DCE (data circuit-terminating
equipment) with the EIA-232-D interface and is routed to:
MVME162IG/D21-15

Board Level Hardware Description
❏The DB-25 connector marked SERIAL PORT 1/CONSOLE on the front
panel of the MVME162. SERIAL PORT 1/CONSOLE is an EIA-232-D
DCE port.
NOTE: This port can be connected to the TX and R X clocks which may be
present on the DB-25 connector. These connections are made via jumper
header J11 on the MVME162 board. (The TxC and RxC clock lines are not
available on the MVME712X transition modules.)
❏One of the following output connectors on the MVME712X transition
module:
MVME712M: The DB-25 connector marked SERIAL PORT 2 on the front
panel. SERIAL PORT 2 can be configured as an EIA-232-D DTE or DCE
port, via jumper headers J16 and J17.
MVME712A or MVME712-12: The DB-9 connector marked SERIAL
PORT 2 on the front panel. SERIAL PORT 2 is hardwired as an EIA-232-D
DTE port.
MVME712AM or MVME712-13: The DB-9 connector marked SERIAL
PORT 2 OR the RJ-11 jack on the front panel. SERIAL PORT 2 is hardwired
as EIA-232-D DTE; the RJ-11 jack utilizes the built-in modem. Setting the
jumper headers J16 and J17 on the MVME712AM/-13 configures the
output as EIA-232-D DTE at SERIAL PORT 2 or as a modem at the RJ-11
jack.
MVME162 Serial Port 2
The configuration of the B port of the Z85230 is determined via a Serial
Interface Module (SIM) which is installed at connector J10 on the MVME162
board. There are four SIMs available:
SIM05 -- DTE with EIA-232-D interface
SIM06 -- DCE with EIA-232-D interface
SIM07 -- DTE with EIA-530 interface
SIM08 -- DCE with EIA-530 interface
Port B is routed, via the SIM, to:
❏The DB-25 connector marked SERIAL PORT 2 on the front panel of the
MVME162. SERIAL PORT 2 will be an EIA-232-D DCE or DTE port, or an
EIA-530 DCE or DTE port, depending upon which SIM is installed.
NOTE: This port can be connected to the TX and R X clocks which may be
present on the DB-25 connector. These connections are made via jumper
header J12 on the MVME162 board. (The TxC and RxC clock lines are
available at the MVME712M SERIAL PORT 4 via header J15, but are not
available on the other MVME712X transition modules.)

Do not simultaneously connect serial data devices to the
equivalent ports on the MVME712 series transition module
and the MVME162 front panel. This could result in simultaneous transmission of conflicting data.
Caution
Caution
IndustryPack (IP) Interfaces
The IPIC ASIC on the MVME162 supports four IndustryPack (IP) interfaces:
these are accessible from the front panel. Refer to the IPIC Programming
Model in the MVME162 Embedded Controller Programmer’s Reference Guide for
details of the IP interface. Refer to the MVME162 Embedded Controller Support Information manual for the pin assignments of the IP connectors.
Optional LAN Ethernet Interface
The MVME162 uses the 82596CA to implement the Ethernet transceiver
interface. The 82596CA accesses local RAM using DMA operations to perform
its normal functions. Because the 82596CA has small internal buffers and the
MVME162IG/D21-17
Do not connect peripheral devices to Port 1, Port 3, or the
Centronics printer port on the MVME712X module.
When using an EIA-530 SIM, do not connect the MVME162
to an MVME712X board. The EIA-530 signals are not
supported by the P2 adapter and the transition boards.
1
Board Level Hardware Description
VMEbus has an undefined latency period, buffer overrun may occur if the
DMA is programmed to access the VMEbus. Therefore, the 82596CA should
not be programmed to access the VMEbus.
Every MVME162 that has the Ethernet interface is assigned an Ethernet Station
Address. The address is $08003E2 XXXXX where XXXXX is the unique 5-nibble
number assigned to the board (i.e., every MVME162 has a different value for
XXXXX).
Each board has an Ethernet Station Address displayed on a label attached to
the VMEbus P2 connector. In addition, the six bytes including the Ethernet
address are stored in the configuration area of the BBRAM. That is,
08003E2XXXXX is stored in the BBRAM. At an address of $FFFC1F2C, the
upper four bytes (08003E2X) can be read. At an address of $FFFC1F30, the
lower two bytes (XXXX) can be read. The MVME162 debugger has the
capability to retrieve or set the Ethernet address.
If the data in the BBRAM is lost, the user should use the number on the
VMEbus P2 connector label to restore it.
The Ethernet transceiver interface is located on the MVME162 main board, and
the industry DB15 standard connector is located on the MVME712X tra nsition
board.
Support functions for the 82596CA are provided by the M Cchip ASIC. Refer to
the 82596CA user’s guide for detailed programming information.
Optional SCSI Interface
The MVME162 may provide for mass storage subsystems through the
industry-standard SCSI bus. These subsystems may include hard and floppy
disk drives, streaming tape drives, and other mass storage devices. The SCSI
interface is implemented using the NCR 53C710 SCSI I/O controller.
Support functions for the 53C710 are provided by the MCchip ASIC. Refer to
the 53C710 user’s guide for detailed programming information.
SCSI Termination
The system configurer must ensure that the SCSI bus is properly terminated at
both ends. On the MVME162, sockets are provided for the terminators on the
P2 adapter board or the LCP2 adapter board. If the SCSI bus ends at the
adapter board, then termination resistors must be installed on the adapter
board. +5V power to the SCSI bus TERM power line and termination resistors
is provided through a fuse located on the adapter board.
1-18MVME162 Embe dded Controller Install a tion Guide
Local Resources
The MVME162 includes many resources for the local processor. These include
tick timers, software-programmable hardware interrupts, watchdog timer,
and local bus timeout.
Programmable Tick Timers
Six 32-bit programmable tick timer s with 1 µs resolution are provided, two in
the VMEchip2 and four in the MCchip. The tick timers can be programmed to
generate periodic interrupts to the processor. Refer to the VMEchip2 and
MCchip in the MVME162 Embedded Controlle r Programme r’s Reference Guide for
detailed programming information.
Watchdog Timer
A watchdog timer function is provided in the VMEchip2 and the MCchip.
When the watchdog timer is enabled, it must be reset by software within the
programmed time or it times out. The watchdog timer can be programmed to
generate a SYSRESET signal, local reset signal, or board fail signal if it ti mes
out. Refer to the VMEchip2 and the MCchip in the MVME162 Embedded Controlle r Programmer’s Refere nce Guide for detaile d programming information.
The watchdog timer logic is duplicated in the VMEchip2 and MCchip ASICs.
Because the watchdog timer function in the VMEchip2 is a superset of that
function in the MCchip (system reset function), the timer in the VMEchip2 is
used in all cases except for the version of the MVME162 which does not
include the VMEbus interface ("No VMEbus Interface" option).
Functional Description
1
Software-Programmable Hardware Interrupts
Eight software-programmable hardware interrupts are provided by the
VMEchip2. These interrupts allow software to create a hardware interrupt.
Local Bus Timeout
The MVME162 provides a timeout function in the VMEchip2 and the MCchip
for the local bus. When the timer is enabled and a local bus access times out, a
Transfer Error Acknowledge (TEA) signal is sent to the local bus master. The
timeout value is selectable by software for 8 µsec, 64 µsec, 256 µsec, or infinity.
The local bus timer does not operate during VMEbus bound cycles. VMEbus
bound cycles are timed by the VMEbus access timer and the VMEbus global
timer.
MVME162IG/D21-19
1
Board Level Hardware Description
The access timer logic is duplicated in the VMEchip2 and MCchip ASICs.
Because the local bus timer in the VMEchip2 can detect an offbo ard access and
the MCchip local bus timer cannot, the timer in the VMEchip2 is used in all
cases except for the version of the MVME162 which does not include the
VMEbus interface ("No-VMEbus-Interface option").
Local Bus Arbiter
The local bus arbiter implements a fixed priority which is described in the
following table.
The MVME162 has two 96-position DIN connectors: P1 and P2. P1 rows A , B,
C, and P2 row B provide the VMEbus interconnection. P2 rows A and C
provide the connection to the SCSI bus, serial ports, and Ethernet. The
MVME162 has a 20-pin connector J4 mounted behind the front panel. When
the MVME162 board is enclosed in a chassis and the front panel is not visible,
this connector allows the reset, abort, and LED functions to be extende d to the
control panel of the system, where they are visible. The serial ports on the
MVME162 are also connected to two 25-pin DB-25 female connectors J9 and
J15 on the front panel. The four IPs connect to the MVME162 by four pairs of
50-pin connectors. Four 50-pin connectors behind the front panel are for
external connections to IP signals. The memory chip mezzanine board is
plugged into two 40-pin connectors.
Memory Maps
There are two points of view for memory maps: 1) the mapping of all resources
as viewed by local bus masters (local bus memory map), and 2) the mapping
of onboard resources as viewed by VMEbus Masters (VMEbus memory map).
The memory and I/O maps which are described in the following tables are
correct for all local bus masters. There is some address translation capability in
the VMEchip2. This allows multiple MVME162s on the same VMEbus with
different virtual local bus maps as viewed by different VMEbus masters.
1-20MVME162 Embe dded Controller Install a tion Guide
Local Bus Memory Map
The local bus memory map is split into different address spaces by the transfer
type (TT) signals. The local resources respond to the normal access and
interrupt acknowledge codes.
Normal Address Range
The memory map of devices that respond to the normal address range is
shown in the following tables. The normal address range is defined by the
Transfer Type (TT) signals on the local bus. On the MVME162, Transfer Types
0, 1, and 2 define the normal address range. Table 1-3 is the entire map from
$00000000 to $FFFFFFFF. Many areas of the map are user-programmable, and
suggested uses are shown in the table. The cache inhibit function is
programmable in the MC68xx040 MMU. The onboard I/O space must be
marked cache inhibit and serialized in its page table. Table 1-4 further defines
the map for the local I/O devices.
