The MVME2700 is factory-c onfigured as a VMEbus sys tem 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 wheth er it is t he system cont roller by its posi tion on the b us. If
the board is in the fi rs t sl ot from the left, it configures itself as the system
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

For a description of the MVME712M features, refer to MVME712M
Transition Module on page 5-24.
For installation s in VME64 backplanes, you may wish to use the five- row
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 present on rows D and Z when the
MVME2700 is installed in a VME64 backplane, use the five-row P2
adapter.

MVME712M Transition Module Preparation
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
VMEmodule. A 50-pin male connector (J 3) on the P2 ad apter 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 termin ating resi stors, R1- R3. Figure 2- 10
illustrates the location of the resistors, the co nnectors, and SCSI t erminator
power fuse F1. For further infor mation on the preparatio n of the transition
module and this P2 adapter, refer to the user’s manual for the
MVME712M, listed in Related Documentation.

MVME761 Transition Module Preparation
The MVME761 transiti on module (Figu re 2-11) and P2 adapt er board are
used in conjunction with the following models of the MVME2700
VMEmodule:
For a description of the MVME761M features, refer to MVME761
Transition Module on page 5-25.
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 the MVME2700, th e asynch ronous
serial ports (serial ports 1 and 2) are configured permanently as Data
Circuit-terminating Equipment (DCE). The port configuration is
illustrated in Figure 2-12.
Configuration of Serial Ports 3 and 4
The synchronous serial ports, serial port 3 and serial port 4, are
configurable thr oug h a combin at ion of serial interface module (SI M)
selection and jumper settings . The following tabl e lists the SIM connectors
and jumper head ers cor respo nding to eac h of the s ynchro nous ser ia l port s.
Serial port 3 is r outed to board con nector J7. Serial por t 4 is routed to boar d
connector J8. Eight serial interface modules are available:
❏ EIA-232-D (DCE and DTE)
❏ EIA-530 (DCE and DTE)
❏ V.35 (DCE and DTE)
❏ X.21 (DCE and DTE)
You can configure ser ial ports 3 and 4 for an y of the above serial pr otocols
by installing the appropriate serial interface module and setting the
corresponding jumper. Refer to Figure 2-12 on page 2-22 through Figure
2-28 on page 2-38. SIMs can be ordered separately as required.
NotePart numbers of the various SIMs are listed in
Table 5-6 on page 5-26, SIM Type Identifica ti on.
2-20Computer Group Literature Center Web Site
MVME761 Transition Module Preparation
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.

Overview
The following sections discuss the:
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 me zza nine (if applicable ), and the opt ional carrier board
for additional PCI expansion (if applicable)—are already in place on the
MVME2700. The user-configurable jumpers are accessible with the
mezzanines installed.

❏ Placement of mezzanine cards on the MVME2700 base board
❏ Installation of the complete MVME2700 VMEmodule assembly
and transition module into a VME chassis
❏ System considerations relevant to the installation
If it is necessary to install mezzanines on the base board, refer to the
following sections for a brief description of the installation procedure.
ESD Precautions
Use ESD
Wrist Strap
Motorola strongl y recommends tha t you use an anti static wrist st rap and a
conductive foam pad when installing or upgrading the system. Electronic
components, such a s disk drive s, comput er boa rds, an d memory modu les,
can be extremely sensitive to ESD. After removing the component from
the computer or its protective wrapper, place the component flat on a
grounded, static-free surface, and 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).
Wrap one end of a wrist grounding strap around your wrist.
3-1
3
Hardware Installation
Attach the grounding end (usually a piece of copper foil or an alligator
clip) to an electrical ground. An electrical ground can be a piece of metal
that literally runs into the ground (such as an unpainted metal pipe) or a
metal part of a ground ed elect rica l appli ance. An appl ia nce is gro unded if
it has a three -prong plug and is plu gged into a three-pr ong grounded outlet .
You cannot use the computer itself as a ground, because it is unplugged
when you work on it.
Important Cautions and Warnings
The following cautions and warning apply to all installation procedures
described in this chap ter.
Inserting or removin g modules with power appli ed may result
!
in damage to module components.

System Considerations
The MVME2700 draws power from VMEbus backplane connectors P1
and P2. P2 is also used for the upp er 16 bit s of data i n 32-bit transfe rs, and
for the upper 8 address lines in extended addressing mode. The
MVME2700 may not function prope rly without its main board conn ect ed
to VMEbus backplane connectors P1 and P2.
Whether the MVME2700 operates as a VMEbus master or as a VMEbus
slave, it is configu red for 32 bit s of a ddress a nd 32 bi ts of data ( A32/D32).
However, it handle s A16 or A24 de vices in t he address ranges indi cated in

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

changed via software to any other base address. Refer to the MVME2600 Series Single Board Computer Programmer’s Reference Guide for more
information.
processor software. Refer to the memory maps in Chapter 4.
System Considerations

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 mi ght lack this g lobal bus timeout: when the MVME2700
is not the system contr oller and there is no glo bal bus timeout els ewhere 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 op erational status of the processor(s). One regis ter of the
GCSR (global control/ status register) set in cludes four bits that fun ction as
location monit ors to allow one MVME2700 proces sor to broadcast a signal
to any other MVME2700 processors. All eight registers are accessible
from any local processor as well as from the VMEbus.

Hardware Installation
The MVME2700 VMEmodule draws +5Vdc, +12Vdc, and
–12Vdc power from the VMEbus backplane through connectors P1 and
P2. The 3.3Vdc and 2.5Vdc power is derived on-board from the +5Vdc.
MVME2700 VMEmodule
The MVME2700 VMEmodule furnishes +12Vdc and (in MVME761 I/O
mode) –12Vdc power to the transition module through polyswitches
(resettable f uses) F2 a nd F3 respect ively. The se voltage s ources power the
serial port drivers and any LAN transceivers connected to the transition
module. Fused +5Vdc powe r is supplied through pol yswitch F1 to the base
board’s keyboard and mouse connectors and t o the 14-pin combine d LEDmezzanine/remote-reset connector, J1. The
MVME2700 front panel illuminates when all three voltages are available.
In MVME712M I/O mode, the yellow DS1 LED o n the MVME712M also
signals th e availability of +12Vdc LAN power, indicating in t urn that
polyswitch F2 is good. If the Ethernet transceiver fails to operate, check
polyswitch F2.

In MVME712M I/O mode, the MVME2700 supplies SCSI terminator
power through a 1A fuse (F1) loc at ed on t he P2 adapt er boar d. If the fuse
is blown, the SCSI device(s) may function erraticall y 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

NoteBecause any device on the SCSI bus can provide the
TERMPWR signal, and because the MVME2700 FUS LED
monitors the status of several voltages, the LED does not
directly indicate the condition of any single fuse. If the
FUS
LED flickers or goes out, check all the fuses (polyswitches).
In MVME761 I/O mode, the MVME2700 suppli es SCSI terminator power
through a polyswitch (resettable fuse) located on the P2 adapter board.

System Considerations
The MVME2700 supplies a SPEAKER_OUT signa l 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 6-1 on page 6-3.
On the MVME2700 series VMEmodule, 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 b it per character
❏ Parity disabled (no parit y)
❏ Baud rate of 9600 baud
9600 baud is t he po wer- up def ault fo r ser ial ports on MVME2700 boards .
After power-up you can reconfigure the baud rate if you wish, using the
PPCBug PF (Port Forma t) 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 fi rmware initiali zation process is p erformed 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.
4
The firmware is shipped from the factory with an appropriate set of
defaults. In most cases there is no need to modify t he firmware
configuration before you boot the operating system.
The flowchart in Figure 4-1 shows the basic initializa tion process that
takes place during system startup.
For further information on PPCBug firmware, refer to Chapter 7 and to
Appendix D or to the PPCBug Firmware User’s Manual.
Switches and LEDs

Memory Maps
There are three points of view for memory maps:
❏ The mapping of al l resou rces as viewed b y the pr ocessor (MPU bus
memory map)
4
❏ 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 Series Single Board Computer Programmer’s Refer ence Guide , which is also applicable to the
MVME2700.
Processor Memory Map
The processor memory map configuration is under the control of the
Raven bridge control ler ASI C and the Falcon me mory cont roll er chip set.
The Raven and Falcon devices adjust system mapping to suit a given
application via programmable map de coder regis ters. At syst em power-up
or reset, a default processor memory map takes over.
4-4Computer Group Literature Center Web Site
Default Processor Memory Map
The default processo r memory map that is valid at power-up or reset
remains in ef fect until reprogrammed for specific applications. Table 4-2
defines the entire default map ($00000000 to $FFFFFFFF).

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).
For detailed processor memory maps, including suggested CHRP- and
PREP-compatible memory maps, refer to the MVME2600 Series Single Board Computer Programmer’s Reference Guide.
http://www.mcg.mot.com/literature4-5
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.
4
No default PCI memory map exists. Resetting the system turns 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 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-progr ammable
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 VMEbu s mapping, including suggested CHRP- and
PREP-compatible memory maps, can be found in the MVME2600 Series Single Board Computer Programmer’s Reference Guide. The following
figure 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:

for these seven types of devices. The PIB supports flexible arbitration
modes of fixed priority, rotating priority, and mixed priority, as
appropriate in a given a pplication. Details on PCI a rbitratio n can be f ound

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 Falco n chip set (me mory error in terrupts)
❏ The PCI bus (interrupts from PCI devices)

Processor/Memory Domain
The MPC750 processor can operate in both big-endian and little-endian
mode. However, it always tre ats the external process or/memory bus as bigendian by performing address rearrangement and reordering when
running in little-en dian mode. The MPC registers in the Raven MPU/PCI
http://www.mcg.mot.com/literature4-11

Operating Instructions
bus bridge controller ASIC and the Fal con me mory con tr oll er chip set, as
well as DRAM, ROM/Flash, and system registers, always appear as bigendian.
Role of the Raven ASIC
Because the PCI bus is lit tle-endia n, the Raven performs byt e swapping 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 transferred 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. Bigendian 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 fi rst one t o b e tra nsfer red r egard les s of the endi an mode.
Since the Raven maintain s address invariance in both little-endi an and bigendian mode, no endian issues should arise for Ethernet data. Big-endian
software must still take the byte-sw apping effect into account when
accessing the registers of the PCI/Ethernet device, however.
4-12Computer Group Literature Center Web Site
Role of the Universe II ASIC
Because the PCI bus is little-endian while the VMEb us 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 , reg ardles s of t he mode of ope rati on in the proc essor ’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).
Programming Considerations
4
In little-endian mode, however, software must take the byte-swapping
effect of th e Univer se II ASIC and th e addre ss rev erse- rea rrangi ng e ffect
of the Raven into account.

Functional Description
SCSI Interface
The MVME2700 VMEmodule suppor ts mass storag e subsystems th rough
the industry-standard SCSI bus. These subsystems may include hard and
floppy disk drives, str eaming ta pe drive s, and other mass storage de vic es.
The SCSI interface is im plemented using the Symbios 53C82 5A SCSI I/O
controller at a clock speed of 40MHz. The SCSI I/O controller connects
directly to the PCI local bus.

MVME712M-compatible versions of the MVME2700 route the SCSI
lines through the P2 connector to the MVME712M transition module, as
illustrated in Figure 3-4. The SCSI control lines have filter networks to
minimize the effects of VMEbus signal noise at P2.
In the MVME761-compatible version, the SCSI lines are routed through
the P2 connector up to connecto r J2 on th e P2 adapter board, as il lustrat ed
in Figure 3-5. The MVME761 itself has no SCSI support, however, SCSI
devices are suppor ted via t he use of a thre e- row or fiv e-row adapte r board
included with the MVME761 transition board.
The SCSI bus is 16 bits wide in syst ems that support the VME64 extensi on
(those equipped with 5-row, 160-pin VME backplane connectors). The
SCSI bus is 8 bits wid e in VME systems with three -row backplanes. Re fer
to the MVME712M Transition Module and P2 Adapter Board Inst allation and Use manual for the pin assignments of the SCSI connectors used on
the transition module. Refer to the Symbios 53C825A data manual for
detailed programming information.

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 base board uses the sockets provided for
SCSI bus terminators on th e three-r ow P2 adapter boa rd supplied with the
MVME712M. If the SCSI bus ends at the adapter board, termination
resistors must b e i nst al le d there. +5Vdc power to t he SCSI bus
signal and termination resistors is supplied through a fuse located on the
adapter board. The five-row P2 adapter, MVME761P2-011 is compatible
with the MVME712M for s upport of 16-bit SCSI a nd PMC I/O. It requires
a five-row backplane.
In MVME761 I/O mode, the P2 adapter board used with the MVME761
has a jumper to enable/disable SCSI bus terminators. +5Vdc power for
SCSI termination is supplied through a polyswitch located on the adapter
board.

Ethernet Inte rface
The MVME2700 VMEmodule uses Digi ta l Equi pmen t’ s DEC2114 0 PCI
Fast Ethernet LAN controller to implement an Ethernet interface that
supports both AUI (via MVME712M) and 10Base-T/100Base-TX (via
MVME761) connections. The balanced differential transceiver lines are
coupled via on-board transformers.
The MVME2700 routes its AUI or 10Base-T/100Base-TX lines through
the P2 connector to the t ransition module (as i ll ust ra ted in Figure 3-4 and
Figure 3-5). The MVME712M front panel has an ind ustry-stan dard DB15
connector for an AUI connection. The MVME761 supports 10BaseT/100Base-TX connections.
Every MVME2700 is assigned an Et hernet s tation addre ss. The addre ss is
$08003E2xxxxx, where xxxxx is the unique 5-nibble number assigned to
the board (every board has a different value for xxxxx).
Each MVME2700 displays its Ether net stat ion address on a label attache d
to the base board in the PMC co nnecto r keepou t area just b ehind t he front
panel. In addition, the six byt es incl udi ng the Ethernet station addr ess are

stored in the NVRAM (BBRAM) configuration area specified by boot
ROM. That is, the value 08003E2xxxxx is stored in NVRAM. 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
MVME2700 debugger (the PPCBug firmware) has the capability to
retrieve or set the Ethernet station address.
If the data in NVRAM 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 10Base-
T/100Base-TX connector , refer t o the user’ s manual for the MVME712M
or MVME761. Refer to the BBRAM/TOD Clock memory map description
in the MVME2600 Series Single Board Computer Programmer’s Reference Guide for detailed programming information.
PCI Mezzanine Interface
A key feature of th e MVME2700 family is the PCI ( Peripheral Component
Interconnect) bus. In addition to the on-board local bus devices (SCSI,
Ethernet, graphics, etc.), the PCI bus supports an industry-standard
mezzanine interface, IEEE P1386.1 PMC (PCI Mezzanine 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 MVME2700 supports one PMC slot. Four 64-pin connectors on the
base board (J11, J12, J13, and J14) interface with 32-bit IEEE P1386.1
PMC-compatible mezzanines to add any desirable function. The PCI
Mezzanine Card slot has the following characteristics:

Refer to Chapter 6, Connector Pin Assignments for the pin assignments of
the PMC connectors. For detailed programming information, refer to the
PCI bus descriptions in the MVME2600 Series Programmer’s Reference Guide and to the user documentation for the PMC modules you intend to
use.
VMEbus Interface
The VMEbus interface is implemented with the CA91C142 ‘Universe II
ASIC. The Universe chip interfaces the 32/64-bit PCI local bus to the
VMEbus. The Universe II ASIC provides:
❏ The PCI-bus-to-VMEbus interface
❏ The VMEbus-to-PCI-bus interface
❏ The DMA controller functions of the local VMEbus
The Universe II chip includes Universe Control and Status Registers
(UCSRs) for interprocessor communications. It can provide the VMEbus
system controller functions as well. For detailed programming
information, refer to the Universe II User’s Manual and to the di scussions
in the MVME2600 Series Programmer's Reference Guide.
