Safety Summary

Warning

The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases of operation, service, and repair of
this equipment. Failure to comply with these precautions or with specific warnings elsewhere in this manual
could result in personal injury or damage to the equipment.

The safety precautions listed below represent warnings of certain dangers of which Motorola is aware. You, as
the user of the product, should follow these warnings and all other safety precautions necessary for the safe
operation of the equipment in your operating environment.

Ground the Instrument.

To minimize shock hazard, the equipment chassis and enclosure must be connected to an electrical ground. If the
equipment is supplied with a three-conductor AC power cable, the power cable must be plugged into an approved
three-contact electrical outlet, with the grounding wire (green/yellow) reliably connected to an electrical ground
(safety ground) at the power outlet. The power jack and mating plug of the power cable meet International
Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) safety standards and local electrical regulatory codes.

Do Not Operate in an Explosive Atmosphere.

Do not operate the equipment in any explosive atmosphere such as in the presence of flammable gases or fumes.
Operation of any electrical equipment in such an environment could result in an explosion and cause injury or
damage.

Keep Away From Live Circuits Inside the Equipment.

Operating personnel must not remove equipment covers. Only Factory Authorized Service Personnel or other
qualified service personnel may remove equipment covers for internal subassembly or component replacement
or any internal adjustment. Service personnel should not replace components with power cable connected. Under
certain conditions, dangerous voltages may exist even with the power cable removed. To avoid injuries, such
personnel should always disconnect power and discharge circuits before touching components.

Use Caution When Exposing or Handling a CRT.

Breakage of a Cathode-Ray Tube (CRT) causes a high-velocity scattering of glass fragments (implosion). To
prevent CRT implosion, do not handle the CRT and avoid rough handling or jarring of the equipment. Handling
of a CRT should be done only by qualified service personnel using approved safety mask and gloves.

Do Not Substitute Parts or Modify Equipment.

Do not install substitute parts or perform any unauthorized modification of the equipment. Contact your local
Motorola representative for service and repair to ensure that all safety features are maintained.

Caution

Note If the shipping carton is damaged upon receipt, request that the carrier’s agent be present

during the unpacking and inspection of the equipment.

Avoid touching areas of integrated circuitry; static discharge can damage circuits.

Motorola strongly recommends that you use an antistatic wrist strap and a conductive
foam pad when installing or upgrading a system. Electronic components, such as disk
drives, computer boards, and memory modules can be extremely sensitive to
electrostatic discharge (ESD). After removing the component from its protective
wrapper or from the system, 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) that is attached to an active
electrical ground. Note that a system chassis may not be grounded if it is unplugged.

Inserting or removing modules with power applied may result in damage to module
components.

Warning

Warning

Dangerous voltages, capable of causing death, are present in this equipment. Use
extreme caution when handling, testing, and adjusting.

Hardware Configuration

This section discusses certain hardware and software tasks that may need to be performed
prior to installing the board in a chassis.

To produce the desired configuration and ensure proper operation of the MVME3100, you may
need to carry out certain hardware modifications before installing the module.

Most options on the MVME3100 are software configurable. Configuration changes are made by
setting bits in control registers after the board is installed in a system.

Jumpers/switches are used to control those options that are not software configurable. These
jumper settings are described further on in this section. If you are resetting the board jumpers
from their default settings, it is important to verify that all settings are reset properly.

MVME3100 Layout

Figure 1-1 on page 4 illustrates the placement of the jumpers, headers, connectors, switches,

and various other components on the MVME3100.

There are two switch blocks which have user-selectable settings. Refer to Table 1-2, Table 1-3,
and Tab l e 1 -4 for switch settings. There is one switch on the MVME721. Refer to Table 1-5 and

Table 1-6 for switch settings.

PMC I/O Voltage Configuration

The onboard PMC sites may be configured to support 3.3V or 5.0V I/O PMC modules. To
support 3.3V or 5.0V I/O PMC modules, both PMC I/O keying pins must be installed in the
holes. If both keying pins are not in the same location or if the keying pins are not installed, the
PMC sites will not function. Note that setting the PMC I/O voltage to 5.0V forces the PMC sites
to operate in PCI mode instead of PCI-X mode. The default factory configuration is for 3.3V
PMC I/O voltage.

RTM SEEPROM Address Switch (S1)

A 4-position SMT configuration switch is located on the RTM to set the device address of the
RTM serial EEPROM device. The switch settings are defined in the following table.

Switches and Indicators

The MVME3100 board provides a single push button switch that provides both abort and reset
(ABT/RST) functions. When the switch is pressed for less than five seconds, an abort interrupt
is generated to the processor. If the switch is held for more than five seconds, a board hard reset
is generated. The board hard reset will reset the MPC8540, local PCI/PCI-X buses, Ethernet
PHYs, serial ports, Flash devices, and PLD(s). If the MVME3100 is configured as the VME
system controller, the VME bus and local TSi148 reset input are also reset.

The MVME3100 has four front-panel indicators. The following table describes these indicators:

3 MOTLoad Firmware

Introduction

This chapter describes the basic features of the MOTLoad firmware product, designed by
Motorola as the next generation initialization, debugger, and diagnostic tool for high­performance embedded board products using state-of-the-art system memory controllers and
bridge chips, such as the MPC8540 processor.

In addition to an overview of the product, this chapter includes a list of standard MOTLoad
commands, the default VME and firmware settings that are changeable by the user, remote
start, and the alternate boot procedure.

Overview

The MOTLoad firmware package serves as a board power-up and initialization package, as well
as a vehicle from which user applications can be booted. A secondary function of the MOTLoad
firmware is to serve in some respects as a test suite providing individual tests for certain
devices.

3

MOTLoad is controlled through an easy-to-use, UNIX-like, command line interface. The
MOTLoad software package is similar to many end-user applications designed for the
embedded market, such as the real time operating systems currently available.

Refer to the MOTLoad Firmware Package User’s Manual, listed in Appendix B, Related

Documentation, for more details.

MOTLoad Implementation and Memory Requirements

The implementation of MOTLoad and its memory requirements are product specific. The
MVME3100 single-board computer (SBC) is offered with a range of memory (for example,
DRAM or flash). Typically, the smallest amount of on-board DRAM that a Motorola SBC has is
32MB. Each supported Motorola product line has its own unique MOTLoad binary image(s).
Currently the largest MOTLoad compressed image is less than 1MB in size.

MOTLoad Commands

MOTLoad supports two types of commands (applications): utilities and tests. Both types of
commands are invoked from the MOTLoad command line in a similar fashion. Beyond that,
MOTLoad utilities and MOTLoad tests are distinctly different.

MVME3100 Single-Board Computer Installation and Use (V3100A/IH1)

Chapter 3 MOTLoad Firmware

MOTLoad Utility Applications

The definition of a MOTLoad utility application is very broad. Simply stated, it is considered a
MOTLoad command, if it is not a MOTLoad test. Typically, MOTLoad utility applications are
applications that aid the user in some way (that is, they do something useful). From the
perspective of MOTLoad, examples of utility applications are: configuration, data/status
displays, data manipulation, help routines, data/status monitors, etc.

Operationally, MOTLoad utility applications differ from MOTLoad test applications in several
ways:

■ Only one utility application operates at any given time (that is, multiple utility applications

cannot be executing concurrently)

■ Utility applications may interact with the user. Most test applications do not.

MOTLoad Tests

A MOTLoad test application determines whether or not the hardware meets a given standard.
Test applications are validation tests. Validation is conformance to a specification. Most
MOTLoad tests are designed to directly validate the functionality of a specific SBC subsystem
or component. These tests validate the operation of such SBC modules as: dynamic memory,
external cache, NVRAM, real time clock, etc.

All MOTLoad tests are designed to validate functionality with minimum user interaction. Once
launched, most MOTLoad tests operate automatically without any user interaction. There are a
few tests where the functionality being validated requires user interaction (that is, switch tests,
interactive plug-in hardware modules, etc.). Most MOTLoad test results (error-data/status-data)
are logged, not printed. All MOTLoad tests/commands have complete and separate
descriptions (refer to the MOTLoad Firmware Package User’s Manual for this information).

All devices that are available to MOTLoad for validation/verification testing are represented by
a unique device path string. Most MOTLoad tests require the operator to specify a test device
at the MOTLoad command line when invoking the test.

A listing of all device path strings can be displayed through the devShow command. If an SBC
device does not have a device path string, it is not supported by MOTLoad and can not be
directly tested. There are a few exceptions to the device path string requirement, like testing
RAM, which is not considered a true device and can be directly tested without a device path
string. Refer to the devShow command description page in the MOTLoad Firmware Package
User’s Manual.

Most MOTLoad tests can be organized to execute as a group of related tests (a testSuite)
through the use of the testSuite command. The expert operator can customize their testing by
defining and creating a custom testSuite(s). The list of built-in and user-defined MOTLoad
testSuites, and their test contents, can be obtained by entering testSuite -d at the MOTLoad
prompt. All testSuites that are included as part of a product specific MOTLoad firmware
package are product specific. For more information, refer to the testSuite command description
page in the MOTLoad Firmware Package User’s Manual.

16

MVME3100 Single-Board Computer Installation and Use (V3100A/IH1)

Test results and test status are obtained through the testStatus, errorDisplay, and taskActive
commands. Refer to the appropriate command description page in the MOTLoad Firmware
Package User’s Manual for more information.

Using MOTLoad

Interaction with MOTLoad is performed via a command line interface through a serial port on
the SBC, which is connected to a terminal or terminal emulator (for example, Window’s
Hypercomm). The default MOTLoad serial port settings are: 9600 baud, 8 bits, no parity.

Command Line Interface

The MOTLoad command line interface is similar to a UNIX command line shell interface.
Commands are initiated by entering a valid MOTLoad command (a text string) at the MOTLoad
command line prompt and pressing the carriage-return key to signify the end of input. MOTLoad
then performs the specified action. An example of a MOTLoad command line prompt is shown
below. The MOTLoad prompt changes according to what product it is used on (for example,
MVME6100, MVME3100).

Chapter 3 MOTLoad Firmware

Example:

MVME3100>

If an invalid MOTLoad command is entered at the MOTLoad command line prompt, MOTLoad
displays a message that the command was not found.

Example:

MVME3100> mytest

"mytest" not found

MVME3100>

If the user enters a partial MOTLoad command string that can be resolved to a unique valid
MOTLoad command and presses the carriage-return key, the command is executed as if the
entire command string had been entered. This feature is a user-input shortcut that minimizes
the required amount of command line input. MOTLoad is an ever changing firmware package,
so user-input shortcuts may change as command additions are made.

Example:

MVME3100> version

Copyright: Motorola Inc.1999-2005, All Rights Reserved

MOTLoad RTOS Version 2.0, PAL Version 1.0 RM01

Mon Aug 29 15:24:13 MST 2005

MVME3100>

If the partial command string cannot be resolved to a single unique command, MOTLoad
informs the user that the command was ambiguous.

Example:

MVME3100> te

"te" ambiguous

MVME3100>

Command Line Help

Each MOTLoad firmware package has an extensive, product-specific help facility that can be
accessed through the help command. The user can enter help at the MOTLoad command line
to display a complete listing of all available tests and utilities.

Example

MVME3100> help

For help with a specific test or utility the user can enter the following at the MOTLoad prompt:

help <command_name>

The help command also supports a limited form of pattern matching. Refer to the help
command page.

Example

MVME3100> help testRam

Usage: testRam [-aPh] [-bPh] [-iPd] [-nPh] [-tPd] [-v]

Description: RAM Test [Directory]

Argument/Option Description

-a Ph: Address to Start (Default = Dynamic Allocation)

-b Ph: Block Size (Default = 16KB)

-i Pd: Iterations (Default = 1)

-n Ph: Number of Bytes (Default = 1MB)

-t Ph: Time Delay Between Blocks in OS Ticks (Default = 1)

-v O : Verbose Output

MVME3100>

Command Line Rules

18

There are a few things to remember when entering a MOTLoad command:

■ Multiple commands are permitted on a single command line, provided they are separated

by a single semicolon (;)

■ Spaces separate the various fields on the command line (command/arguments/options)

MVME3100 Single-Board Computer Installation and Use (V3100A/IH1)

■ The argument/option identifier character is always preceded by a hyphen (-) character

■ Options are identified by a single character

■ Option arguments immediately follow (no spaces) the option

■ All commands, command options, and device tree strings are case sensitive

Example:

MVME3100> flashProgram –d/dev/flash0 –n00100000

For more information on MOTLoad operation and function, refer to the MOTLoad Firmware
Package User’s Manual.

Firmware Settings

The following sections provide additional information pertaining to the VME firmware settings
of the MVME3100. A few VME settings are controlled by hardware jumpers while the majority
of the VME settings are managed by the firmware command utility vmeCfg.

CR/CSR Settings

The CR/CSR base address is initialized to the appropriate setting based on the Geographical
address; that is, the VME slot number. See the VME64 Specification and the VME64
Extensions for details. As a result, a 512K byte CR/CSR area can be accessed from the
VMEbus using the CR/CSR AM code.

Remote Start

As described in the MOTLoad Firmware Package User’s Manual, listed in Appendix B, Related

Documentation, remote start allows the user to obtain information about the target board,

download code and/or data, modify memory on the target, and execute a downloaded program.
These transactions occur across the VMEbus in the case of the MVME3100. MOTLoad uses
one of four mailboxes in the Tsi148 VME controller as the inter-board communication address
(IBCA) between the host and the target.

Chapter 3 MOTLoad Firmware

CR/CSR slave addresses configured by MOTLoad are assigned according to the installation
slot in the backplane, as indicated by the VME64 Specification. For reference, the following
values are provided:

Slot Position CS/CSR Starting Address

1 0x0008.0000

2 0x0010.0000

3 0x0018.0000

4 0x0020.0000

5 0x0028.0000

6 0x0030.0000

7 0x0038.0000

8 0x0040.0000

9 0x0048.0000

A 0x0050.0000

B 0x0058.0000

C 0x0060.0000

For further details on CR/CSR space, please refer to the VME64 Specification, listed in

Appendix B, Related Documentation.

The MVME3100 uses a TSi148 for its PCI/X-to-VME bus bridge. The offsets of the mailboxes
in the TSi148 are defined in the TSi148 VMEBus PCI/X-to-VME User Manual, listed in

Appendix B, Related Documentation, but are noted here for reference:

Mailbox 0 is at offset 7f610 in the CR/CSR space
Mailbox 1 is at offset 7f614 in the CR/CSR space
Mailbox 2 is at offset 7f618 in the CR/CSR space
Mailbox 3 is at offset 7f61C in the CR/CSR space

The selection of the mailbox used by remote start on an individual MVME3100 is determined
by the setting of a global environment variable (GEV). The default mailbox is zero. Another GEV
controls whether remote start is enabled (default) or disabled. Refer to the Remote Start
appendix in the MOTLoad Firmware Package User’s Manual for remote start GEV definitions.

The MVME3100’s IBCA needs to be mapped appropriately through the master’s VMEbus
bridge. For example, to use remote start using mailbox 0 on an MVME3100 installed in slot 5,
the master would need a mapping to support reads and writes of address 0x002ff610 in VME
CR/CSR space (0x280000 + 0x7f610).

Chapter 3 MOTLoad Firmware

Alternate Boot Images and Safe Start

Some later versions of MOTLoad support Alternate Boot Images and a Safe Start recovery
procedure. If Safe Start is available on the MVME3100, Alternate Boot Images are supported.
With Alternate Boot Image support, the bootloader code in the boot block examines the upper
8MB of the flash bank for Alternate Boot images. If an image is found, control is passed to the
image.

Firmware Startup Sequence Following Reset

The firmware startup sequence following reset of MOTLoad is to:

■ Initialize cache, MMU, FPU, and other CPU internal items

■ Initialize the memory controller

■ Search the active flash bank, possibly interactively, for a valid POST image. If found, the

POST images executes. Once completed, the POST image returns and startup continues.

■ Search the active flash bank, possibly interactively, for a valid USER boot image. If found,

the USER boot image executes. A return to the boot block code is not anticipated.

■ If a valid USER boot image is not found, search the active flash bank, possibly interactively,

for a valid Alternate MOTLoad boot image; anticipated to be an upgrade of Alternate
MOTLoad firmware. If found, the image is executed. A return to the boot block code is not
anticipated.

■ Execute the recovery image of the firmware in the boot block if no valid USER or alternate

MOTLoad image is found

During startup, interactive mode may be entered by either setting the Safe Start jumper/switch
or by sending an <ESC> to the console serial port within five seconds of the board reset. During
interactive mode, the user has the option to display locations at which valid boot images were
discovered, specify which discovered image is to be executed, or specify that the recovery
image in the boot block of the active Flash bank is to be executed.

MVME3100 Single-Board Computer Installation and Use (V3100A/IH1)

Chapter 3 MOTLoad Firmware

Firmware Scan for Boot Image

The scan is performed by examining each 1MB boundary for a defined set of flags that identify
the image as being Power On Self Test (POST), USER, or Alternate MOTLoad. POST is a user­developed Power On Self Test that would perform a set of diagnostics and then return to the
bootloader image. USER would be a boot image, such as the VxWorks bootrom, which would
perform board initialization. A bootable VxWorks kernel would also be a USER image. Boot
images are not restricted to being MB or less in size; however, they must begin on a 1MB
boundary within the 8MB of the scanned flash bank. The Flash Bank Structure is shown below:

Address Usage

0xFFF00000 to 0xFFFFFFFF Boot block. Recovery code

0xFFE00000 to 0XFFFFFFFF Reserved.

0xFFD00000 to 0xFFDFFFFF First possible alternate image

0xFFC00000 to 0xFFCFFFFF Second possible alternate image

.... Alternate boot images

(MOTLoad update image)

(Bank B / Bank A actual)

(Bank B / Bank A actual)

0xFF899999 to 0xFF8FFFFF Bottom of Flash

(Flash size varies per product)

The scan is performed downwards beginning at the location of the first possible alternate image
and searches first for POST, then USER, and finally Alternate MOTLoad images. In the case of
multiple images of the same type, control is passed to the first image encountered in the scan.

Safe Start, whether invoked by hitting ESC on the console within the first five seconds following
power-on reset or by setting the Safe Start jumper, interrupts the scan process. The user may
then display the available boot images and select the desired image. The feature is provided to
enable recovery in cases when the programmed Alternate Boot Image is no longer desired. The
following output is an example of an interactive Safe Start:

Interactive boot commands:

Valid Boot Images

Valid boot images whether POST, USER, or Alternate MOTLoad, are located on 1MB
boundaries within flash. The image may exceed 1MB in size. An image is determined valid
through the presence of two "valid image keys" and other sanity checks. A valid boot image
begins with a structure as defined in the following table:

Name Ty pe Size Notes

UserDefined unsigned integer 8 User defined

ImageKey 1 unsigned integer 1 0x414c5420

ImageKey 2 unsigned integer 1 0x424f4f54

ImageChecksum unsigned integer 1 Image checksum

ImageSize unsigned integer 1 Must be a multiple of 4

ImageName unsigned character 20 User defined

Chapter 3 MOTLoad Firmware

ImageRamAddress unsigned integer 1 RAM address

ImageOffset unsigned integer 1 Offset from header start to entry

ImageFlags unsigned integer 1 Refer to MOTLoad Image Flags on page 32

ImageVersion unsigned integer 1 User defined

Reserved unsigned integer 8 Reserved for expansion

Checksum Algorithm

The checksum algorithm is a simple unsigned word add of each word (4 byte) location in the
image. The image must be a multiple of 4 bytes in length (word-aligned). The content of the
checksum location in the header is not part of the checksum calculation. The calculation
assumes the location to be zero. The algorithm is implemented using the following code:

Unsigned int checksum(

Unsigned int *startPtr,/* starting address */

Unsigned int endPtr/* ending address */

) {

unsigned int checksum=0;

while (startPtr < endPtr) {

checksum += *startPtr;

startPtr++;

}

return(checksum);

}

Chapter 3 MOTLoad Firmware

MOTLoad Image Flags

The image flags of the header define various bit options that control how the image will be
executed.

Table 3-2. MOTLoad Image Flags

Name Valu e Interpretation

COPY_TO_RAM 0x00000001 Copy image to RAM at ImageRamAddress

IMAGE_MCG 0x00000002 Alternate MOTLoad image

IMAGE_POST 0x00000004 POST image

DONT_AUTO_RUN 0x00000008 Image not to be executed

COPY_TO_RAM

If set, this flag indicates that the image is to be copied to RAM at the address specified in
the header before control is passed. If not set, the image will be executed in Flash. In both
instances, control will be passed at the image offset specified in the header from the base
of the image.

before execution

IMAGE_MCG

If set, this flag defines the image as being an Alternate MOTLoad, as opposed to USER,
image. This bit should not be set by developers of alternate boot images.

IMAGE_POST

If set, this flag defines the image as being a power-on self-test image. This bit flag is used
to indicate that the image is a diagnostic and should be run prior to running either USER or
MCG boot images. POST images are expected, but not required, to return to the boot block
code upon completion.

DONT_AUTO_RUN

If set, this flag indicates that the image is not to be selected for automatic execution. A user,
through the interactive command facility, may specify the image to be executed.

Note MOTLoad currently uses an Image Flag value of 0x3, which identifies itself as an

Alternate MOTLoad image that executes from RAM. MOTLoad currently does not support
execution from flash.

USER Images

32

These images are user-developer boot code; for example, a VxWorks bootrom image. Such
images may expect the system software state to be as follows upon entry:

■ The MMU is disabled.

■ L1 instruction cache has been initialized and is enabled.

MVME3100 Single-Board Computer Installation and Use (V3100A/IH1)

Chapter 3 MOTLoad Firmware

■ L1 data cache has been initialized (invalidated) and is disabled.

■ L2 cache is disabled.

■ L3 cache is disabled.

■ RAM has been initialized and is mapped starting at CPU address 0.

■ If RAM ECC or parity is supported, RAM has been scrubbed of ECC or parity errors.

■ The active Flash bank (boot) is mapped from the upper end of the address space.

■ If specified by COPY_TO_RAM, the image has been copied to RAM at the address

specified by ImageRamAddress.

■ CPU register R1 (the stack pointer) has been initialized to a value near the end of RAM.

■ CPU register R3 is added to the following structure:

typedef struct altBootData {

unsigned int ramSize;/* board’s RAM size in MB */

void flashPtr;/* ptr to this image in flash */

char boardType[16];/* name string, eg MVME3100 */

void globalData;/* 16K, zeroed, user defined */

unsigned int reserved[12];

} altBootData_t;

Alternate Boot Data Structure

The globalData field of the alternate boot data structure points to an area of RAM which was
initialized to zeroes by the boot loader. This area of RAM is not cleared by the boot loader after
execution of a POST image, or other alternate boot image, is executed. It is intended to provide
a user a mechanism to pass POST image results to subsequent boot images.

The boot loader performs no other initialization of the board than that specified prior to the
transfer of control to either a POST, USER, or Alternate MOTLoad image. Alternate boot
images need to initialize the board to whatever state the image may further require for its
execution.

POST images are expected, but not required, to return to the boot loader. Upon return, the boot
loader proceeds with the scan for an executable alternate boot image. POST images that return
control to the boot loader must ensure that upon return, the state of the board is consistent with
the state that the board was in at POST entry. USER images should not return control to the
boot loader.

System Memory

The MPC8540 provides one standard DDR SDRAM SODIMM socket. This socket supports
standard single or dual bank, unbuffered, SSTL-2 DDR-I, JESD8-9B compliant, SODIMM
module with ECC. The MPC8540 DDR memory interface supports up to 166 MHz (333 MHz
data rate) operation.

Local Bus Interface

The MVME3100 uses the MPC8540 local bus controller (LBC) for access to on-board Flash and
I/O registers. The LBC has programmable timing modes to support devices of different access
times, as well as device widths of 8, 16, and 32 bits.

The MVME3100 uses the LBC in GPCM (general purpose chip select machine) mode to
interface to two physical banks of on-board Flash, an on-board quad UART (QUART), on-board
32-bit timers, and the System Control/Status registers. Refer to the MVME3100 Single-Board
Computer Programmer’s Reference Guide listed in Appendix B, Related Documentation, for the
LBC bank and chip select assignments.

MVME3100 Installation and Use (V3100A/IH1)

39

Chapter 4 Functional Description

Flash Memory

The MVME3100 provides one physical bank of soldered-on Flash memory. The bank is
composed of two physical Flash devices configured to operate in 16-bit mode to form a 32-bit
Flash bank. The default configuration for the MVME3100-1263 is 128MB using two 512Mb
devices, and for the MVME3100-1152 it is 64MB using two 256Mb devices.

Refer to the MVME3100 Single-Board Computer Programmer’s Reference Guide listed in

Appendix B, Related Documentation, for more information.

Control and Timers Logic

The MVME3100 control and timers logic resides on the local bus. This logic provides the
following functions on the board:

■ Local bus address latch

■ Chip selects for Flash banks and QUART

■ System Control and Status registers

■ Four 32-bit tick timers

■ Real-time clock (RTC) 1 MHz reference clock

Refer to the MVME3100 Single-Board Computer Programmer’s Reference Guide listed in

Appendix B, Related Documentation, for more information.

I2C Serial Interface and Devices

The MVME3100 provides the following on-board I2C serial devices connected to the MPC8540
I2C controller interface:

■ 8KB serial EEPROM for VPD

■ Two 64KB serial EEPROMs for user configuration data storage

■ 256 byte serial EEPROM on SODIMM for SPD

■ Maxim DS1375 RTC

■ Maxim DS1621 temperature sensor

■ 8KB serial EEPROM on RTM VPD

The Maxim DS1375 RTC implemented on the MVME3100 provides an alarm interrupt routed
to the MPC8540 programmable interrupt controller (PIC). A Maxim DS32KHz temperature
controlled crystal oscillator provides the RTC reference. A battery backup circuit for the RTC is
provided on board.

40

The Maxim DS1621 digital temperature sensor provides a measure of the temperature of the
board.

MVME3100 Installation and Use (V3100A/IH1)

The I2C interface is also routed to the on-board SODIMM socket. This allows the serial
presence detect (SPD) in the serial EEPROM, which is located on the memory module, to be
read and used to configure the memory controller accordingly. Similarly, the I2C interface is
routed to the P2 connector for access to the serial EEPROM located on the RTM. The device
address for the RTM serial EERPOM is user-selectable using configuration switches on the
RTM.

Refer to the MVME3100 Single-Board Computer Programmer’s Reference Guide in Appendix

B, Related Documentation, for more information.

Ethernet Interfaces

The MVME3100 provides one 10/100 and two 10/100/1000 Mb/s full duplex Ethernet interfaces
using the MPC8540 Fast Ethernet Controller (FEC) and two Triple Speed Ethernet Controllers
(TSEC). A Broadcom BCM5461S PHY is used for each TSEC interface, and each TSEC
interface and PHY is configured to operate in GMII mode. One Gigabit Ethernet interface is
routed to a front-panel RJ-45 connector with integrated LEDs for speed and activity indication.
The other Gigabit Ethernet interface is routed to P2 for rear I/O.

A Broadcom BCM5221 PHY is used for the FEC interface. The Fast Ethernet interface is routed
to P2 for rear I/O. Isolation transformers are provided on-board for each interface. The assigned
PHY addresses for the MPC8540 MII management (MIIM) interface can be found in the
MVME3100 Single-Board Computer Programmer’s Reference Guide, listed in Appendix B,

Related Documentation.

Chapter 4 Functional Description

Each Ethernet interface is assigned an Ethernet Station Address. The address is unique for
each device. The Ethernet Station Addresses are displayed on labels attached to the PMC
front-panel keep-out area.

Asynchronous Serial Ports

The MVME3100 board contains one front-access asynchronous serial port interface using
serial port 0 from the MPC8540 dual UART (DUART) device. This serial port is routed to the
RJ-45 front-panel connector.

This board also contains one quad UART (QUART) device connected to the MPC8540 device
controller bus to provide additional asynchronous serial ports. The QUART provides four
asynchronous serial ports,
SP1 – SP4, which are routed to the P2 connector. Refer to the ST16C554D Datasheet listed in

Appendix B, Related Documentation, for additional details and/or programming information.

MVME3100 Installation and Use (V3100A/IH1)

41

Chapter 4 Functional Description

PCI/PCI-X Interfaces and Devices

The MVME3100 provides three separate PCI/PCI-X bus segments. Bus segment A operates in
66 MHz PCI or PCI-X mode and is connected to the MPC8540, the TSi148 VME controller, the
serial ATA (sATA) controller, and two PCI-X-to-PCI-X bridges. Bus segment B is bridged
between bus A and the two PMC sites and operates in 33/66 MHz PCI or 66/100 MHz PCI-X
mode depending on the slowest speed PMC installed. Bus segment C is bridged between bus
A, the USB controller, and the PMCspan connector. Bus C operates at 33 MHz PCI mode.

MPC8540 PCI-X Interface

The MPC8540 PCI-X controller operates in PCI or PCI-X, host bridge mode depending on the
state of the Bus A mode switch. The mode cannot be changed by software. Refer to the
MPC8540 Reference Manual listed in Appendix B, Related Documentation, for additional
details and/or programming information.

TSi148 VME Controller

The VMEbus interface for the MVME3100 is provided by the TSi148 ASIC. The TSi148 provides
the required VME, VME extensions, and 2eSST functions. Transceivers are used to buffer the
VME signals between the TSi148 and the VME backplane. Refer to the TSi148 User’s Manual
listed in Appendix B, Related Documentation, for additional details and/or programming
information.

Serial ATA Host Controller

The sATA host controller uses the Intel GD31244 PCI-X to sATA controller. This device provides
four sATA channels at 1.5Gb/s and is compliant with the Serial ATA: High speed serialized AT
Attachment Specification, Revision 1.0e. It also supports the native command queuing feature
of sATA II.

The MVME3100 uses two of the four sATA channels. Channel 0 is routed to a sATA connector
mounted on the front panel for an external drive connection. Channel 1 is routed to a planar
sATA connector for an "inside the chassis" drive connection. Colocated with the planar
connector is a sATA power connector. At power-up, the controller is configured to operate in
either legacy (Native PCI IDE) mode or Direct Port Access (DPA) mode, controlled by the sATA
mode switch. The mode cannot be changed by software.

The MVME3100 provides two LEDs to indicate sATA channel activity. The function of the LEDs
depends on the operating mode of the 31244 (legacy or DPA mode).

Refer to the 31244 PCI-X to Serial ATA Controller Datasheet and 31244 PCI-X to Serial ATA
Controller Specification Update listed in Appendix B, Related Documentation, for additional
details and/or programming information

MVME3100 Installation and Use (V3100A/IH1)

PCI-X-to-PCI-X Bridges

The MVME3100 uses two PLX PCI6520 PCI-X-to-PCI-X bridges to isolate the primary PCI bus,
bus A. These bridges isolate bus A from bus B with the PMC sites and from bus C with the USB
controller and PMCspan interface. The PCI6520 is a 64-bit, 133 MHz, PCI-X r1.0b compliant
device. It operates asynchronously between 33 MHz and 133 MHz on either primary or
secondary port. Refer to the PCI6520CB Data Book listed in Appendix B, Related

Documentation, for additional details and/or programming information.

PCI Mezzanine Card Slots

The MVME3100 provides two PMC sites that support standard PMCs or PrPMCs. Both PMC
sites are located on PCI bus B and operate at the same speed and mode as determined by the
slowest PMC module. The board routing supports a maximum of 100 MHz PCI-X operation on
each site. Signaling voltage (Vio) for the two PMC sites is dependent on keying pin installation
options and can be configured for 5V or 3.3V. Both sites must be configured for the same Vio
voltage or the Vio voltage will be disabled. Each PMC site has enough 3.3V and 5V power
allocated to support a 25 watt (max) PMC or PrPMC from either supply.

PMC slot 1 supports:

pin

Note You cannot use 3.3V and 5V PMCs together; the voltage keying pin on slots 1 and 2 must

be identical. When in 5V mode, the bus runs at 33 MHz.

In addition, the PMC connectors are located such that a double-width PMC may be installed in
place of the two single-width PMCs.

Note On PMC site 1, the user I/O – J14 signals will only support the low-current, high-speed

signals and are not to be used for any current bearing power supply usage. The maximum
current rating of each pin/signal is 100 mA.

USB

The USB 2.0 host controller provides USB ports with integrated transceivers for connectivity
with any USB-compliant device or hub. USB channel 1 is routed to a single USB connector
located at the front panel. DC power to the front panel USB port is supplied via a USB power
switch, which provides soft-start, current limiting, over-current detection, and power enable for
port 1. Refer to the µPD720101 USB 2.0 Host Controller Datasheet listed in Appendix B,

Related Documentation, for additional details.

PMC Expansion

The MVM3E3100 provides additional PMC module capability through the use of a connector on
bus C that is compatible with the PMCspan boards. Up to four additional PMC modules may be
added by using existing PMCspan boards. Refer to the PMCspan PMC Adapter Carrier Board
Installation and Use manual listed in Appendix B, Related Documentation, for additional details.

General-Purpose Timers

There are a total of eight independent, 32-bit timers. Four timers are integrated into the
MPC8540 and four timers are in the PLD. The four MPC8540 timers are clocked by the RTC
input, which is driven by a 1 MHz clock. The clock source for the four timers in the PLD is 25
MHz. Refer to the MPC8540 Reference Manual listed in Appendix B, Related Documentation,
for additional details and/or programming information.

Real-time Clock Battery

There is an on-board Renata SMT battery holder on the MVME3100. This SMTU2430-1 holder
allows for quick and easy replacement of a 3V button cell lithium battery (CR2430), which
provides back-up power to the on-board DS1375 RTC. A battery switching circuit provides
automatic switching between the 3.3V and battery voltages. The battery provides backup power
to the RTC for a minimum of one year at nominal temperature.

MVME3100 Installation and Use (V3100A/IH1)

Reset Control Logic

The sources of reset on the MVME3100 are the following:

■ Power-u p

■ Reset switch

■ Watchdog timer

■ System Control register bit

■ VMEbus reset

A board-level hard reset generates a reset for the entire board including the MPC8540, local
PCI/PCI-X buses, Ethernet PHYs, serial ports, Flash devices, and PLD(s). If the MVME3100 is
configured as the VME system controller, the VME bus and local TSi148 reset input are also
reset.

Debug Support

The MVME3100 provides a boundary scan header for boundary scan test access and device
programming. This board also provides a separate standard COP header for MPC8540 COP
emulation.
