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.
MVME162IG/D21-1

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.
The IndustryPack Interface Controller (IPIC) A SIC provides control and status information for up to four single size IndustryPacks (IPs) or up to two double size IPs that can be plugged into the MVME162 main module.

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).

Manual Terminology

Throughout this manual, a convention is used which precedes data and address parameters by a character identifying the numeric format as follows:
$ dollar specifies a hexadecimal character % percent specifies a binary number & ampersand specifies 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.

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).
1-10 MVME162 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.

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.
1-12 MVME162 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.

WARNING
Do not short circuit. Do not disassemble, deform, or apply excessive pressure. Do not heat or incinerate. Do not apply solder directly. Do not use different models, or new and old batteries together. Do not charge. Always check proper polarity.
To remove the battery from the module, carefully pull the battery from the socket.
Before installing a new battery, ensure that the battery pins are clean. Note the battery polarity and press the battery into the socket. When the battery is in the socket, no soldering is required.

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
1-14 MVME162 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 to the VMEchip2 which are located at $FFF40088 bits 7-0 are not used. The
ABORT switch interrupt is integrated into the MCchip ASIC at location
$FFF42043. The GPI inputs are integrated into the MCchip ASIC at location $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.

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/D2 1-15

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.)

MVME712A, AM, -12, or -13: The DB-9 connector marked SERIAL PORT 4 on the front panel. SERIAL PORT 4 is hard-wired as an EIA-232-D DTE port.
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/D2 1-17
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.
1-18 MVME162 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

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/D2 1-19

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.
Table 1-2. Local Bus Arbitration Priority
Device Priority Note
LAN 0 Highest SCSI 1 ... VMEbus 2 Next Lowest MC68xx040 3 Lowest

Connectors

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.
1-20 MVME162 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.

1. Reset enables the decoder f or this space of the m emory map so th at it will decode address spaces $FF800000 - $FF9FFFFF and $00000000 ­$003FFFFF. The decode at 0 must be disabled in the MCchip before DRAM is enabled. DRAM is enabled with the DRAM Control Register at address $FFF42048, bit 24. PROM/Flash is disabled at the low address space with PROM Control Register at address $FFF42040, bit

4. Cache inhibit depends on devices in area mapped.
5. The PROM and Flash are sized by the MCchip ASIC from an 8-bit private bus to the 32-bit MPU local bus. Because the device size is less than the allocated memory map size for some entries, the device contents repeat for those entries. If jumper GPI3 is installed, the Flash device is accessed. If GPI3 is not installed, the PROM is accessed.
6. The Flash and PROM are sized by the MCchip ASIC from an 8-bit private bus to the 32-bit MPU local bus.
