Serial Port 4 Transmit Clock Receiver Buffer Control (J20)
As described in other sections, a complete configuration of Serial Port 4
requires that you set the following jumper headers on the
MVME2603/2604 or the transition module:
❏ J16 (Serial Port 4 receive clock configuration) on MVME712M-
compatible versions of the base board
❏ J17 (Serial Port 4 transmit clock configuration)
❏ J20 (Serial Port 4 transmit clock receiver buffer control) on
MVME712M-compatible versions of the base board
❏ J15 on the MVME712M transition modu le or J3 on the MVME761
(Serial Port 4 clock configuration)
A transmit clock receiver buffer (controlled by header J20) is associated
with Serial Port 4. Inst alling a jumper on J20 enabl es the buffer. Removing
the jumper disables the buffer. The factory configuration has the Serial
Port 4 buffer enabled.
J20 remains open on MVME761-compatible versions. On MVME712Mcompatible versions, J20 is set in tandem with J17 to configure the Serial
Port 4 transmit clock. If one deviates from the factory configuration, so
must the other.

The MVME2603/2604 is factory-configured as a VMEbus system
controller by jumper header J22. If you select the “automatic” system
controller function by placing a jumper on J22 pins 2 and 3, the
MVME2603/2604 determines whether it is the system controller by its
position on t he bus. If the board is in the first slot from the left, it
configures its elf as the s ystem controll er. If the MVME26 03/2604 is n ot to
be system controller under any circumstances, place the jumper on J22

The MVME2603/2604 front panel LEDs and switches are mounted on a
removable mezzanine board. Removing the LED mezzanine makes the
mezzanine connector (J 1, a keyed double -row 14-pin co nnector) avai lable
for service as a remot e status and control c onnector. In this ap plicati on, J1
can be connected to a user-supplied external cable to carry the Reset and
Abort signals and the LED lines to a control panel located apart from the
MVME2603/2604. Maximum cable length is 15 feet.
Table 4-1 in Chapter 4, Connector Pin Assignments lists the pin numbers
and signal mnemonics for J1.

Use ESD
Wrist Strap
Motorola strongly recommends that you use an a ntistatic wrist stra p and a
conductive foam pad when installing or upgrading a system. Electronic
components, such as d isk dr ives, c omputer boards , and memor y modules ,
can be extremely sensitive to electrostatic discharge (E SD). After
removing the component from its protective wrapper or from the system,
place the componen t flat on a grounded, static -free surface (an d, in the case
of a board, component side up). Do not slide the component over any
surface.
If an ESD station is not available, you can avoid damage resulting from
ESD by wearing an antistatic wrist strap (available at electronics stores)
that is attached to an active electrical ground. Note that a system chassis
may not be grounded if it is unplugged.

System Considerations
The MVME2603/2604 draws power from VMEbu s backplane c onnectors
P1 and P2. P2 is also use d f or t he upper 16 bits of data in 32- bit transfers,
and for the upper eight address lines in extended addressing mode. The
MVME2603/2604 may not function properly without its main board
connected to VMEbus backplane connectors P1 and P2.
Whether the MVME2603/2604 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 device s in the add ress ranges
indicated in Chapte r 2, Operating Instructions. D8 and/or D16 devices in
the system must be handle d by th e Power P C proc es sor sof twar e. Ref er to
the memory maps in Chapter 2, Operating Instructions.
1-50Computer Group Literature Center Web Site
System Considerations
The MVME2603/2604 contains shared onboard DRAM (and, optionally,
secondary cache memory) whose base address is software -selectable. Both
the onboard processo r and offboard VMEb us devices see this local DRAM
at base physical addre ss $00000000, as programmed by the firmware. This
may be changed via software to any other base address. Refer to the
MVME2600 Series Single Board Computer Programmer’s Reference
Guide, listed inAppendix D, Related Documentation, for more
information.
If the MVME2603/2604 t ries to access offboard reso urces in a none xistent
location and is not system controller, and if the system does not have a
global bus timeout, the MVME2603/2604 waits forever for the VMEbus
cycle to complete. This will cause the syste m to lock up. There is only one
situation in which th e syste m might lack th is gl obal bus timeou t: when t he
MVME2603/2604 is not the system controller and there is no global bus
timeout el sewhere in th e system.
Multiple MVME2603/2604s may be insta lled in a single VME cha ssis. In
general, hardware multiprocessor features are supported.
Other MPUs on the VMEbus can interrupt, disable, communicate with,
and determine the opera tional status of the proc essor(s). One registe r of the
GCSR (global control/st atus register) set in cludes four bits that functi on as
location monitors to al low one MVME2603/2604 processor to broadcast a
signal to any other MVME2603/2604 processors. All eight registers are
accessible from any local processor as well as from the VMEbus.

polyswitches (resettable fuses) R34 and R28 respectively. These voltage
sources power the seri al po rt d river s and any LAN tra nsceiv ers connect ed

If the fuse is blown, the SCSI device(s) may function erratically or not at
all. With the P2 adapter board cabled to a transition module and with an
SCSI bus connected to the transition module, the green
module illuminates when SCSI terminator power is available. If the
LED on the transition module flickers during SCSI bus operation, check
fuse F1 on the P2 adapter board.

SPEAKER_OUT signal can be cabled to an external speaker. For the pin
assignments of J1, refer to Table 4-1 on page 4-3.
On the MVME2603/2604 base board, the standard serial console port

(
console should be set up as follows:
❏ Eight bits per character
❏ One stop bit per character
❏ Parity disabled (no parity)
❏ Baud rate of 9600 baud

System Considerations
9600 baud is the power-up default for serial ports on MVME2603/2604
boards. After power-up you can reconfigure the baud rate if you wish,
using the PPCBug PF (Port Format) command via the command line
interface. Whatever the bau d rate , some t ype of h ardwar e handsh aking —

Introduction
This chapter suppl ies infor mation for u se of the MVME2603/260 4 fami ly
of Single Board Computers in a system configuration. Here you will find
the power-up procedure and descriptions of the switches and LEDs,
memory maps, and software initialization.
Applying Power
After you have verified that all necessary hardware preparation has been
done, that all connections have been made correctly, and that the
installation is complete, you can power up the system. The MPU,
hardware, and firmware initialization process is performed by the
PowerPC PPCBug power-up or system reset. The firmware initializes the
devices on the SBC module in preparation for booting the operating
system.
2
The firmware is shipped from the factory with an appropriate set of
defaults. In most cases there is no need to mo dify the firmware
configuration before you boot the operating system.
The following flowchart shows the basic initialization process that takes
place during PowerPC system startup.
For further information on PPCBug, refer to Chapter 5, PPCBug; to
Appendix C, Troubleshooting CPU Boa rds: Solving Start up Problems; or

Memory Maps
Memory Maps
There are three points of view for memory maps:
❏ The mapping of all resou rces as vi ewed by t he proce ssor (MPU bus
memory map)
❏ The mapping of onboard resources as viewed by PCI local bus
masters (PCI bus memory map)
❏ The mapping of onboard resources as viewed by VMEbus masters
(VMEbus memory map)
The following sectio ns give a general description of the MVME 2603/2604
memory organization from the above three points of view. Detailed
memory maps can be found in the MVME2600 Series Single Board
Computer Programmer’s Referen ce Guide , list ed i n Appendix D, Re lated

Processor Memory Map
The processor memory map configuration is under the control of the
Raven bridge control ler ASI C and the Fal con me mory c ont roll er chip set.
The Raven and Falcon devices adjust system mapping to suit a given
application via pro grammable map de coder register s. At system powe r-up
or reset, a default processor memory map takes over.

Default Processor Memory Map
The default processor memory map that is valid at power-up or reset
remains in effe ct until reprogra mmed for specific applications. Table 2-1
defines the entire default map ($00000000 to $FFFFFFFF). Table 2-2

PCI Local Bus Memory Map
The PCI memory map is controlled by the Raven MPU/PCI bus bridge
controller ASIC and by the Universe PCI/VME bus bridge ASIC. The
Raven and Universe devices adjust system mapping to suit a given
application via programmable map decoder registers.
No default P CI memory map exi sts. Resetting the system tur ns the PCI

The VMEbus is programmable. Like ot her pa rts of the MVME260 3/2604
memory map, the mapping of local resources as viewed by VMEbus
masters varies among applications.
The Universe PCI/VME bus bridge ASIC includes a user-programmable
map decoder for the VMEbus-to-local-bus interface. The address
translation ca pabi l it ies of the Univers e e nable the processor to access any
range of addresses on the VMEbus.
Recommendations for VMEbus mapping, including suggested CHRP- and
PREP-compatible memory maps, can be found in the MVME2600 Series Single Board Computer Programmer’s Reference Guide, list ed in
Appendix D, Related Documentation. Figure 2-2 on page 2-9 shows the
overall mapping approach from the standpoint of a VMEbus master.

Programming Considerations
Endian Issues
The MVME2603/2604 supports both little-endian (for example,
Windows NT) and big-endian (for exa mple, AIX) software . The PowerPC
processor and the VMEbus ar e inherently bi g-endian, while the PCI bus is
inherently little-endian. The following sections summarize how the
MVME2603/2604 handles soft ware and hardware difference s i n big- and
little-endian operati ons. For fu rther de tails o n endia n consider ations, refer
to the MVME2600 Series Single Board Computer Programmer’s Reference Guide, listed in Appendix D, Related Documentation.
Processor/Memory Domain
The MPC603/604 processor can operate in both big-endian and
little-endian mode. Howev er, it always tr eats the external
processor/memory bus as big-endian by performing address rearrangementand reordering when running in little-endian mode. The
MPC registers in the Raven MPU/PCI bus bridge con troller ASIC and the
Falcon memory controller chip set, as well as DRAM, ROM/Flash, and
system registers, always appear as big-endian.
Role of the Raven ASIC
Because the PCI bus is litt le-endian, the Raven performs byte swap ping in
both directions (from PCI to memory and from the processor to PCI) to
maintain address invariance while programmed to operate in big-endian
mode with the processor and the memory subsystem.
2
In little-endian mode, the Raven reverse-rearranges the address for PCIbound accesses and rearranges the address for memory-bound accesses
(from PCI). In this case, no byte swapping is done.
PCI Domain
The PCI bus is inherently little-endian. All devices connected directly to
the PCI bus operate in little-endian mode, regardless of the mode of
operation in the processor’s domain.
http://www.motorola.com/computer/literature2-15
Operating Instructions
2
PCI and SCSI
SCSI is byte-stream-oriented; the byte having the lowest address in
memory is the first one to be tra nsferred regardless of the endian mode.
Since the Raven ASIC maintains address invariance in both little-endian
and big-endian modes, no endian issues should arise for SCSI data.
Big-endian software must still take the byte-swapping effect into account
when accessing the registers of the PCI/SCSI device, however.
PCI and Ethernet
Ethernet is also byte-stream-oriented; the byte having the lowest address
in memory is t he firs t one to b e t ransf erre d rega rd less of th e endian mode.
Since the Raven maintains address invariance in both little-endian and
big-endian mode, no endian issues should arise for Ethernet data.
Big-endian software must still take the byte-swapping effect into account
when accessing the registers of the PCI/Ethernet device, however.
Role of the Universe ASIC
Because the PCI bus is li ttle-endian w hile the VME bus is big-endian, the
Universe PCI/VME bus bridge ASIC performs byte swapping in both
directions (from PCI to VMEbus and from VMEbus to PCI) to maintain
address invariance , regard les s of the mode of ope ra tion in th e proces sor’s
domain.
VMEbus Domain
The VMEbus is inherently big-endian. All devices connected directly to
the VMEbus must operate in big-endian mode, regardless of the mode of
operation in the processor’s domain.
In big-endian mode, byte-swapping is performed first by the Universe
ASIC and then by the Raven. The result is transparent to big-endian
software (a desirable effect).
In little-endian mode, however, software must take the byte-swapping
effect of the Un iverse ASI C and th e addres s revers e-rea rranging effect of
the Raven into account.

General Description
The MVME2603/2604 is a VME module singl e board computer eq uipped
with a PowerPC Series micro processor. The MVME2603 is equi pped with
a PowerPC 603 microprocessor; the MVME2604 has a PowerPC 604.
256KB L2 cache (level 2 secondary cache memory) is available as an
option on all versions.
General Description
3
As shown in the Features section, The MVME2603/2604 offers many
standard features desirable in a computer system—such as synchronous
and asynchronous seria l ports, parall el port, boot ROM and DRAM, SCSI,
Ethernet, support for an external disk drive, and keyboard and mouse
support—in a single-slot VME package. Its flexible mezzanine
architecture allows relatively easy upgrades in memory and functionality.
A key feature of the MVME2603/2604 family is the PCI (Peripheral
Component Interconnect) bus. In addition to the on-board local bus
peripherals, the PCI bus supports an industry-standard mezzanine
interface, IEEE P1386.1 PMC (PCI Mezzanine Card). PMC modules off er
a variety of possibilities for I/O expansion through FDDI (Fiber
Distributed Data Interface), ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode),
graphics, Ethernet, or SCSI ports. The base board supports PMC front
panel I/O. There is also provision for additional expansion via a PMC
carrier board.

SCSI Interface
The MVME2603/2604 VME module supports mass storage subsystems
through the industry-standard SCSI bus. These subsystems may include
hard and floppy dis k drives, streaming tape drives, and other ma ss storag e
devices. The SCSI interf ace is i m ple ment ed us in g the Symbios 53C825A
SCSI I/O controller at a clock speed of 40 MHz. The SCSI I/O controller
connects directly to the PCI local bus.
The MVME2603/2604 routes its SCSI lines through the P2 connector to
the MVME712M transition module (as il lus tr at ed in Figure 1-21 on page
1-47). The SCSI contro l line s ha ve fil ter n etworks to minimize th e effe cts
of VMEbus signal noise at P2.
The SCSI bus is 16-bits wide in syst ems that support the VME64 extension
(that is, those e quippe d with 5-row, 160-pi n VME back plane connect ors) .
The SCSI bus is 8-bits wide in VME systems that do not support the
extension. Refer to the MVME712M User’s Manual, listed in Appendix D,
Related Documentation, for the pin assignments of the SCSI connectors
used on the transit ion module. Refer t o the Symbios 53C825A data man ual
for detailed programming informati on, also listed in Appendix D, Related
Documentation.

SCSI Termination
The individual configuring the system must ensure that the SCSI bus is
properly terminated at both ends.
In MVME712M I/O mode, the MVME2603/2604 base board uses the
sockets provided for SCSI bus terminators on the P2 adapter board used
with the MVME712M. If the SCSI bus ends at the adapter board,
termination resistors must be installed there. +5V DC power to the SCSI
TERMPWR signal and termination resistors is supplied through a fuse
bus
located on the adapter board.
In MVME761 I/O mode, the P2 adapter board used with the MVME761
has a jumper to enable/d isable SCSI bus terminato r s. +5V DC power for
SCSI termination is supplied through a polyswitch located on the adapter
board.

Ethernet Interface
The MVME2603/2604 VME module uses Digital Equipment’s DECchip
3
21140 PCI Fast Ethernet LAN controller to implement an Ethernet
interface that supports both AUI (via MVME712M) and
10BaseT/100BaseTX (via MVME761) connections. The balanced
differential transceiver lines are coupled via on-board transformers.
The MVME2603/2604 routes its AUI and 10BaseT/100BaseTX lines
through the P2 connector to th e transi ti on module (as illus trate d in Fig ure
1-21 on page 1-47 and Figure 1- 22 on page 1-49). The MVME712M f ront
panel has an industry-standard DB-15 connector for an AUI connection.
The MVME761 supports 10BaseT/100BaseTX connections.
Every MVME2603/2604 is assigned an Ethernet station address. The
address is $08003E2xxxxx, where xxxxx is the unique 5-nibble number
assigned to the board ( tha t is , every board has a different value for xxxxx ).
Each MVME2603/2604 displays its Ethernet station address on a label
attached to the base board in the PMC connector kee pout are a just beh ind
the front panel. In addition, the six bytes including the Ethernet station
address are stored in an SROM off the DECchip Ethernet controller, that
is, the value 08003E2xxxxx is st ored in SROM. At an offset of $1F2C, the
upper four bytes (08003 E2x) can be read. At an of fset of $ 1F30, the lowe r
two bytes (xxxx) can be read. The MVME2603/2604 debugger, PPCBug,
has the capability to retrieve or set the Ethernet station address via the
CNFG command.
NoteThe unique Ethernet address is set at the factory and should not
be changed. Any attempt to change thi s address may cre ate node
or bus contention and thereby render the board inoperable.
If the data in SROM is lost , use the number on the label in the PMC
connector keepout area to restore it.
For the pin assignments of the transition module AUI or
10BaseT/100BaseTX connector, refer to the user’s manual for the
MVME712M or MVME761 (listed in Appendix D, Related
Documentation) respectively. Refer to the BBRAM/TOD Clock memory

PCI Mezzanine Interface
A key feature of the MVME2603/2604 family is the PCI (Peripheral
Component Interconnect) bus. In addition to the on-board local bus
devices (SCSI, Ethern et , gra phi cs, e tc . ), t he PCI bus supports an industrystandard mezzanine inter face, IEEE P1386.1 PMC (PCI Mezzan ine Card).
PMC modules offer a variety of possibilities for I/O expansion through
FDDI (Fiber Distributed Data Interface), ATM (Asynchronous Transfer
Mode), graphics, Ethernet, or SCSI ports. The base board supports PMC
front panel and rear P2 I/O. There is also provision for stacking a PMC
carrier board on the base board for additional expansion.
The MVME2603/2604 supports one PMC slot. Four 64-p in connectors on
the base board (J11, J12, J13, an d J14) inter face with 32 -bit IEEE P1386 .1
PMC-compatible mezzanines to add any desirable function. The PCI
Mezzanine Card slot has the following characteristics:
