including register bit descriptions for the MVME172 Embedded Controller. The
information contained in this manual applies to the following MVME172 models:
This manual is intended for anyone who wants to program these boards in order to design
OEM systems, supply addi ti ona l capability to an exi st ing compa ti bl e s yst em, or work in a
lab environment for experimental purposes.
A basic knowledge of computers and digital logic is assumed.
To use this manual, you should be familiar with the publications listed in Related
Documentation below.
Manual Terminology
Throughout this manual , a convention i s used which pr ecedes dat a and addres s 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 (*) foll owing the signal name for sign als which are le vel significant denote s that
the signal is true or valid when the signal is low.
An asterisk (*) foll owing the signal name for sign als which are edge significant denote s 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 th at is ac tive or true ; negat ion a nd negate indicate a sign al tha t is in activ e or fal se. These te rms are u sed i ndepend ently of the
voltage level (high or low) that they represent.
Data and address sizes are defined as follows:
❏A byte is eight b it s, numbe red 0 through 7, with bi t 0 being the least si gni fi ca nt.
❏A word is 16 bits, numbered 0 thr ough 15, with bit 0 being the least si gni fi can t.
❏A longword is 32 bits, numbered 0 through 31, with bit 0 being the least
significant.
The terms contr ol bi t, sta tus bit,true, and false a re use d exte nsivel y in t his do cument. Th e
term control bit is used to describe a bit in a register that can be set and cleared under
software con trol. The term tr ue is used to indicate that a bit is in the state that enables the
function it controls. The term false is used to indi cate that th e bit is in the state tha t disables
the function it cont rols. In all tables, th e terms 0 and 1 are used to descri be the actua l value
that should be writt en to the bi t, or t he val ue tha t it yield s when r ead. The term stat us b it 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.

Overview
The MVME172 is based on the MC68060 or MC68LC060
microprocessor. The MVME172 is available in various versions with the
features listed in Table 1-1 on page 1-3. A “No VMEbus” option is also
available.
The I/O connection fo r the 200/300-Seri es MVME172 is provided thr ough
four RJ-45 front panel connectors.

Board Description and Memory Maps
The I/O connection for t he 4 00/500-Series serial ports is p rovided by two
DB-25 front panel I/O connectors. The I/O is connected to t he VMEbus P2
connector. The main boar d is connect ed through a P2 t ransiti on board and
cables to transition boards. The Series 400/500 MVME172 supports the
transition boards MVME712-12, MVME712-13, MVME712M,
MVME712A, MVME712AM, and MVME712B (referred to in this
manual as MVME712x, unless separately specified). These transition
boards provide configuration headers, serial port drivers and industry
standard connectors for the I/O devices. The MVME712 series transition
boards were designed to support the MVME167 boards, but can be used
on the MVME172 by following some special precautions. (Refer to the
section on the Serial Communications Interface in the MVME172
installation and use manual furnished with your 400/500-Series
MVME172, for more informat ion.)
The VMEbus interface is provi ded by an ASIC called th e VMEchip2. The
VMEchip2 includes two tick timers, a watchdo g timer, programmable map
decoders for the master and sl ave inter faces, and a VMEbus to/ from loc al
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 tra nsfers 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 MC2 chip ASIC provides four tick timers, the interface to the LAN
chip, SCSI chip, seri al port chip , BBRAM, the progra mmable interfac e for
the DRAM and/or SRAM mezzanine board, and Flash write enable.
The IndustryPack Interface Controller (IP2 chip) ASIC provides control
and status information, including DMA control, for up to four single size
IndustryPacks (IPs) or up to two double size IPs that can be plugged into
the MVME172 main module.

To support this fea ture, certain l ogic in the VMEchip2 h as been duplic ated
in the MC2 chip. Table 1-2 on page 1-8 defines the location of the
redundant logic. This logic is inhibited in the MC2 chip if the VMEchip2
is present. The enables for these functions are controlled by software and
MC2 chip hardware initialization.
Note that an MVME172 ordered witho ut the VMEbus i nterface is shipped
with Flash memory blank (the factory uses the VMEbus to program the
Flash memory with debugger code). To use the 172Bug package,
MVME172Bug, in such models, be sure that the General Purpose
Readable Jumpers Header is configured for the EPROM memory map.
Refer to Chapters 3 and 4 of your MVME172 installat ion and use manual
for further details.

Memory Maps
There are two points of view for memory maps: 1) the mapping of all
resources as viewed by local bus maste rs (lo cal bus memor y map), and 2)
the mapping of onboard resources as viewed by VMEbus masters
(VMEbus memory map).
The memory and I/O maps wh ich are describe d in the followi ng table s are
correct for all local bus masters. There is some address translation
capability in the VMEchip2. This allo ws multiple MVME172 modules on
the same VMEbus with different virtual local bus maps as viewed by
different VMEbus masters.
Local Bus Memory Map
The local b us 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) signa ls on t he l ocal bus. On the MVME172, Transfer
Types 0, 1, and 2 define the normal address range. Table 1-2 is the entire

map from $00000000 to $FFFFFFFF. Many areas of the map are
user-programmable, and sugg ested uses ar e shown in the ta ble. The cache
inhibit function is programmable in the MC68xx060 MMU. The onboard
I/O space must be marked cache inhibit and serialized in its page table.
Table 1-3 on page 1-10 further defines the map for the local I/O devices
for the 200/300-Series MVME172, and Table 1-4 on page 1-12 further
defines the map for the local I/O devices for the 400/500-Series
Table 1-3. 200/300-Series MVME172 Local Bus Memory Map
Notes1. Devices mapped at $FFF80000-$FFF9FF FF also appear at
$00000000- $001FFFFF when the ROM0 bit in the MC2
chip EPROM control register is high (ROM0=1). ROM0 is
set to 1 after each r eset. The ROM0 bit must be clea red before
other resources (DRAM or SRAM) can be mapped in this
range ($00000000 - $001FFFFF).
The EPROM/Flash memory map is also controlled by the
EPROM size and by control bit V11 in the MC2 chip ASIC.
Refer to th e EPROM/Flash configuration tables in your
MVME172 installation manual for further details.
2. This area is user-programmable. The DRAM and SRAM
decoder is programmed in the MC2 chip, the local-toVMEbus decoders are programmed in the VMEchip2, and
the IP memory space is programmed in the IP2.
3. Size is approximate.
4. Cache inhibit depends on the devices in the area mapped.
5. The EPROM and Flash are dynamicall y sized by the MC2
chip ASIC from an 8-bi t privat e b us to the 32- bit MPU lo cal
bus.

6. These areas are not decoded unless one of the
programmable decoder s is in itiali zed to de code t his spac e. If
they are not decoded an d the local timer is enabled, an ac cess
