The MVME2700 is factory-confi gured as a VMEbus syste m controller by
jumper header J20. If you select the “automatic” system controller
function by placing a jumper on J20 pins 2 and 3, the MVME2700
determines whether i t is the sy stem contr oller by it s positi on on the b us. If
the board is in the firs t sl ot from the left, it configures its el f as t h e sys te m
controller. If the MVME2700 is not to be system controller under any
circumstances, place the jumper on J20 pins 1 and 2. When the board is

Remote Status and Control (J1)
The MVME2700 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 con nector) available
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
MVME2700. Maximum cable length is 15 feet.

MVME712M Transition Module Preparation
The MVME712M transition module and P2 adapter board are used in
conjunction with certain models of the MVME2700 VME module:
For a description of the MVME712M features, refer to MVME712M
Transition Module on page 3-24.
For installations in VME64 backp lanes, you may wish to use the five-ro w
P2 adapter and cable supplied with the MVME761 transition module.
Although the MVME712M itself does not support the additional I/O
capability on rows D and Z of the MVME2700’s five-row P2 connector,
those signals remain available for user-specific applications. To gain
access to the 16-bit SCSI and PMC I/O pr esent on rows D and Z when the
MVME2700 is installed in a VME64 backplane, use the five-row P2
adapter.

Hardware Preparation and Installation
P2 Adapter Preparation
In its factory configuration, the MVME712M transition module uses a
three-row P2 adapter to transfer synchronous/asynchronous serial,
parallel, and Ethernet signals to and from the MVME2700 series VME
module. A 50-pin male connec tor (J3) on the P2 adap ter carries 8-bit SCSI
signals from the MVME2700.
Preparation of the three-row P2 adapter for the MVME712M consists of
removing or installing the SCSI terminati ng resist ors, R1-R3. Figure 1-11
illustrates the location of the r esistors, the co nnectors, and SCSI ter minator
power fuse F1. For further informati on on the preparation of the tr ansition
module and this P2 adapter, refer to the user’s manual for the
MVME712M, listed in Appendix D, Related Documentation.

MVME761 Transition Module Preparation
The MVME761 transition mod ule ( Figu re 1-12) and P2 adapt er board are
used in conjunction with ce rtain models of the MVME2700 VME module:
For a description of the MVME761M features, refer to MVME761
Transition Module on page 3-25.
Use the MVME761’s three-row P2 adapter board in three-row VME
backplanes. Use the five-row adapter in VME64 backplanes, which are
equipped with five-row P2 connectors.

Serial Ports 1 and 2
On MVME761-compatible models of t he MVME2700, the as ynch ronous
serial ports (serial ports 1 and 2) are configured permanently as data
circuit-termi nating equipm ent (DCE). The port con figuration is illust rated
in Figure 1-13.
Configuration of Serial Ports 3 and 4
The synchronous serial ports, serial port 3 and serial port 4, are
configurable throug h a combin at ion of serial interface module (SI M)
selection and ju mper settings. The following table l ists the SIM conn ectors
and jumper headers corre spondi ng to eac h of t he sync hronous seria l po rts.
Serial port 3 is rout ed to board connect or J7. Serial port 4 is routed to board
connector J8. Eight serial interface modules are available:
1
Header
❏ EIA-232-D (DCE and DTE)
❏ EIA-530 (DCE and DTE)
❏ V.35 (DCE and DTE)
❏ X.21 (DCE and DTE)
You can configure seri al ports 3 and 4 for any of th e above serial prot ocols
by installing the appropriate serial interface module and setting the
corresponding jumper. Refer to Figure 1-13 on page 1-27 through Figure
1-29 on page 1-43. SIMs can be ordered separately as required.
NotePart numbers of the vari ous SIMs are listed in Table 3-6, SIM
Type Identification.

Hardware Preparation and Installation
Headers J2 and J3 are used to configure serial port 3 and serial port 4,
respectively, in tandem with SIM selection. With the jumper in position
1-2, the port is configured as a DTE. With the jumper in position 2-3, the
port is configured as a DCE. The jumper setting of the port should match the configuration of the corresponding SIM module.

Hardware Preparation and Installation
P2 Adapter Preparation
The MVME761 transitio n module uses a three-row or five-r ow P2 adapter
to transfer serial, parallel, and Ethernet signals to and from the
MVME2700 series VME module.
Three-Row Adapter
On the MVME761-001, three-row P2 adapter, a 50-pin male connector
(J2) also carries 8-bit SCSI signals from the MVME2700 board.
Preparation of a three-row P2 adapter for the MVME761 consists of
installing a j umper on header J1 to enabl e the SCSI terminating resisto rs if
necessary. Figure 1-30 illustrates the location of the jumper header and
connectors on the MVME761’s three-row P2 adapter.
For basic preparation of the five-row P2 adapter, refer to the next section.

Hardware Installation
The following sections discuss the placement of mezzanine cards on the
MVME2700 base board, the installation of the complete MVME2700
VME module assembly and transi tion module into a VME chassis, and the
system considerations relevant to the installation. Before installing the
MVME2700, ensure that the serial ports and all header jumpers are
configured as desired.
In most cases, the mezzanine cards—the RAM200 ECC DRAM module,
the optional PCI mezzanine (if applicable), and the optional carrier boa rd
for additional PCI expansion (if applicable)—are already in place on the
MVME2700. The user-configurable jumpers are accessible with the
mezzanines installed.
Should it be neces sary to instal l mezzani nes on t he base board, r efer t o the
following sections for a brief description of the installation procedure.
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 MVME2700 draws power from VMEbus backplane connectors P1
and P2. P2 is also used for the upper 16 bits o f data in 3 2-bit tr ansfers , and
for the upper eight address lines in extended addressing mode. The
MVME2700 may not function properly wit hout it s main boar d conn ected
to VMEbus backplane connectors P1 and P2.
Whether the MVME2700 operates as a VMEbus master or as a VMEbus
slave, it is c onfigured for 3 2 bits of addr ess and 32 bits of dat a (A32/D3 2).
However, it handles A16 or A24 devices in th e address ranges. D8 and/ or
D16 devices in the system must be handled by the PowerPC
software. Refer to the memory maps in Chapter 2, Operating Instructions.
The MVME2700 contains shared onboard DRAM and secondary cache
memory whose base address is software-selectable. Both the onboard
processor and offboard VMEbus devices see this local DRAM at base
physical address $0 0000000, as programmed by the firmware. This may be
changed via software to any other base address. Refer to the
MVME2600/2700 Series Single Board Computer Programmer’s
Reference Guide for more information.
System Considerations
processor
1
If the MVME2700 tries to access offboard resources in a nonexistent
location and is not system controller, and if the system does not have a
global bus timeout, the MVME2700 waits forever for the VMEbus cycle
to complete. This causes the system to lock up. There is only one situation
when the system might lack this glob al bus timeout: when the MVME2700
is not the system control ler and there is no global bus timeout elsewher e in
the system.
Multiple MVME2700s may be installed in a single VME chassis. 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 t o allow one MVME2700 processor to broadcast a sig nal
to any other MVME2700 processors. All eight registers are accessible
from any local processor as well as from the VMEbus.

Hardware Preparation and Installation
The MVME2700 VME module draws +5V DC, +12V DC, and
–12V DC power from the VMEbus backplane through con nect or s P1 and
P2. The 3.3V DC and 2.5V DC power is derived on-board from the
+5V DC.
MVME2700 VME Module
The MVME2700 VME module furnishes +12V DC and (in MVME761
I/O mode) –12V DC power to the transit ion module through pol yswitches
(resettable fu ses) F2 and F 3 respectiv ely. These voltage sour ces power the
serial port drivers and any LAN transceivers connected to the transition
module. Fused +5V DC power is supplied through polyswitch F1 to the
base board’s keyboar d and mouse connectors an d t o t he 14-pin combined
LED-mezzanine/remote-reset connector, J1. The
MVME2700 front panel illuminates when all three voltages are available.
In MVME712M I/O mode, the yellow DS1 LED on the MVME71 2M also
signals the availability of +12V DC LAN power, indicating in turn that
polyswitch F2 is good. If the Ethernet transceiver fails to operate, check
polyswitch F2.

The MVME2700 supplies a
SPEAKER_OUT signal to the 14-pin combined
LED-mezzanine/remote-reset connector, J1. When J1 is used as a remote
reset connector with the LED mezzanine removed, the
SPEAKER_OUT
signal can be cabled to an external speaker. For the pin assignments of J1,
refer to Table 4-1.
On the MVME2700 series VME module, the standard serial console port
COM1, accessible through the transition module, serves as the firmware
console port. The firmware 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
9600 baud is the powe r-up defaul t fo r seria l por ts on MVME27 00 boar ds.
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 baud rate, some type of hardware handshaking — either
XON/OFF or via the RTS/CTS line — is desirable if the system supports
it.

Overview
This chapter supplies information for use of the MVME2700 series 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.
Power-up the System
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 firm ware initializa tion process is perf ormed by the PPCBug
firmware at power-up or system reset. The firmware initializes the devices
on the MVME2700 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 flowchart in Figure 2-1 shows the basic initialization process that
takes place during system startup.
For further information on PPCBug firmware, refer to Chapter 5, PPCBug
Firmware and to the PPCBug Firmware User’s Manual, listed in
Appendix D, Related Documentation.

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 sections give a general description of the MVME2700
memory organization from the above three points of view. Detailed
memory maps can be found in the MVME2600/2700 Series Single Board Computer Programmer’s Reference Guide, which is also applicable to the
MVME2700.
Processor Memory Map
The processor memory map configuration is under the control of the
Raven bridge controll er ASIC and the Fal con memo ry cont roller c hip 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.
2-4Computer Group Literature Center Web Site
Memory Maps
Default Processor Memory Map
The default processor memory map that is valid at power-up or reset
remains in effe ct until reprogrammed for specific applications. Table 2-2
defines the entire default map ($00000000 to $FFFFFFFF).

2. The first 1 MB of ROM/Flas h bank A (socketed 1MB ROM/Fl ash)
appears in this range after a reset if the rom_b_rv control bit in the
Falcon’s ROM B Base/Size register is cleared. If the rom_b_rv
control bit is set, this address range maps to ROM/Flash bank B
(soldered 4MB or 8MB ROM/Flash).

PREP-compatible memory maps, refer to the MVME2600/2700 Series
Single Board Computer Programmer’s Reference Guide.
http://www.motorola.com/computer/literature2-5
Operating Instructions

PCI Local Bus Memory Map
The PCI memory map is controlled by the Raven MPU/PCI bus bridge
controller ASIC and by the Universe II 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
map decoders off, and they must be reprogrammed in software for the
intended application.
For detailed PCI memory maps, including suggested CHRP- and PREPcompatible memory maps, refer to the MVME2600/2700 Series Single Board Computer Programmer’s Reference Guide.
VMEbus Memory Map
The VMEbus is programmable. Like other segments of the MVME2700
memory map, the mapping of local resources as viewed by VMEbus
masters varies among applications.
The Universe II PCI/VME bus bridge ASIC includes a user-programmabl e
map decoder for the VMEbus-to-local-bus interface. The address
translation capabilities of the Universe II enable 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 MVME2600/2700 Series Single Board Computer Programmer’s Ref erence Guide. Figure 2-2
shows the overall mapping approach from the standpoint of a VMEbus
master.

Good programming practice dictates that only one MPU at a time have
control of the MVME2700 control registers. Of particular note are:

PCI Arbitration
There are seven pot ential PCI bus mas ters on the MVME2700 s ingle board
computer:
The Winbond W83C553 PIB device supplies the PCI arbitration support
for these seven types of devices. The PIB supports flexible arbitration
modes of fixed priority, rotating priority, and mixed priority, as
appropriate in a g iven appl ication. Det ails on P CI arbit ration c an be foun d
in the MVME2600/2700 Series Single Board Computer Programmer’s Reference Guide.
The arbitration assignments for the MVME2700 are shown in the
following table.
The Raven ASIC, which controls PHB ( PCI Hos t Bri dge) MPU/l oca l bu s
interface functions on the MVME2700, performs interrupt handling as
well. Sources of interrupts may be any of the following:
❏ The Raven ASIC itself (timer or transfer error interrupts)
❏ The processor (processor self-interrupts)
❏ The Falcon chip set (memory error interrupts)
❏ The PCI bus (interrupts from PCI devices)
❏ The ISA bus (interrupts from ISA devices)

Endian Issues
The PowerPC processo r and the VMEbus are inherent ly big-endi an, while
the PCI bus is inherently li tt le -endian. The following sect ion s sum m ari ze
how the MVME2700 handles software and hardware differences in bigand little-endian operations. For further details on endian considerations,
refer to the M VME2600/2700 Series Single Board Computer Programmer’s Reference Guide.
http://www.motorola.com/computer/literature2-11
Operating Instructions
2
Processor/Memory Domain
The MPC750 processor can operate in both big-endian and little-endian
mode. However, it always treats the external processor/memory bus as
big-endian by performing address rearrangement and reordering when
running in little-endia n mo de. The MPC regist er s in the Rav en MPU/ PCI
bus bridge controll er ASIC and the Falcon memory con tr oll er 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.
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.
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
2-12Computer Group Literature Center Web Site
Programming Considerations
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 II ASIC
Because the PCI bus is li ttle-endian w hile the VMEbus 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 II
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 Uni verse II ASI C and the ad dress reverse-rearranging effect
of the Raven into account.
