1Hardware Preparation
and Installation
Introduction
This chapter provides information on hardware preparation and
installation for the MVME5100 Series of Single Board Computers.
NoteUnless otherwise specified, the designation “MVME5100” refers
to all models of the MVME5100-ser ies Single Bo ard Computer s.
Getting Started
The following subsections include information helpful in preparing your
equipment. It includes and overview of the MVME5100, any equipment
needed to complete the installation, and unpacking instructions.
Overview and Equipment Requirements
1
The MVME5100 interfaces to a VMEbus system via its P1 and P2
connectors and contains two IEEE 1386.1 PCI Mezzanine Card (PMC)
Slots. The PMC Slots are 64-bit and support both front and rear I/O.
Additionally, the MVME5100 is user configurable by setting on-board
jumpers. Two I/O modes are possible: PMC mode or SBC mode (also
called 761 or IPMC mode). The SBC mode uses the IPMC712 I/O PMC
and the MVME712M Transiton Module, or the IPMC761 I/O PMC and
the MVME761 Transition Module. The SBC mode is backwards
compatible with the MVME761 transition card and the P2 adapter card
(excluding PMC I/O routing) used on the MVME2600 /2700 product. This
mode is accomplished by configuring the on-board jumpers and by
attaching an IPMC761 PMC in PMC slot 1. Secondary Ethernet is
configured to the rear.
PMC mode is backwards compatible with the MVME2300/MVME2400
and is accomplished by simply configuring the on-board jumpers.

Hardware Configuration
To produce the de sired board confi guration and to e nsure proper oper ation
of the MVME5100, it may be necessary to perform certain modifications
before and after installation. The following paragraphs discuss the
preparation of the MVME5100 hardware components prior to installing
them into a chassis and connecting them.
The MVME5100 provides software control over most of its options by
setting bits in control registers. After installing it in a system, you can
modify its configuration. For additional information on the board’s
control registers, refer to the MVME5100 Single Board Computer
Programmer's Reference Guide listed in Appendix C, Related
Documentation.

It is important to note that some options are not software-programmable.
These specific options are controlled through manual installation or
removal of jumpers, and in some cases, the addition of other interface
modules on the MVME5100.
The following table lists the manually
configured jumpers on the MVME5100, and their default settings.
If you are resetting the board jum pers from their def ault setting s, it is
important to verify that all settings are reset properly. For example,
the SBC mode requires setti ng jumpers 4, 10 a nd 17 for rear Ethe rnet
functions, but it also requi res resetting jumpers J6 and J20.
Neglecting to reset J6 and J20 could damage or destroy subsequent
PMCs or PrPMCs installed on the base board at power-up.

Prior to performing the installation instructions, you must ensure that the
jumpers are set proper ly for your pa rticula r configur ation. Fo r example, if
you are using an IPMC761/MVME761 or IPMC712/MVME712
combination in conjunction with the MVME5100, you must reset the
jumpers for the SBC mode (jumpers J4, J6, J10, J17 and J20). These are
factory configured for the PMC mode. Verify all settings according to the
previous table and follow the instructions below if a pplicable.

secondary Ethernet I/O (J4, J10 and J17) to either the front panel (PMC
mode), or to the P2 connector via J4 (SBC mode). The other two headers
(J6 and J20) ensure proper routing of +/- 12V signal routing. The
MVME5100 is set at the fac tory for front pa nel I/O: PMC mode (see Ta ble
1-1). The SBC mode should only b e selected whe n using one of t he IPMC7xx modules in conjuncti on with the cor responding MVME7xx transiti on

Installation Considerations
The MVME5100 draws power from th e VMEbus backplane connectors P1
and P2. Connector P2 is also used for the upper 16 bits of data in 32-bit
transfers, and for the upper 8 address lines in extended addressing mode.
The MVME5100 will not function properly without its main board
connected to VMEbus backplane connectors P1 and P2.
1-6Computer Group Literature Center Web Site
Preparation
Whether the MVME5100 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 handles A16 or A24 devi ces in the appropriate a ddress ranges.
D8 and/or D16 devices in the system must be handled by the processor
software.
If the MVME5100 tries to access off-board resources in a nonexistent
location and if the system does not have a global bus time-out, the
MVME5100 waits indefinately for the VMEbus cycle to complete. This
will cause t he system to lock up. There is only one situation in which the
system might lack this global bus time-out; that is when the MVME5100
is not the system controller and there is no global bus time-out elsewhere
in the system.
NoteSoftware can also disable the bus timer by settin g the appropriate
bits in the Universe II VMEbus interface.
Multiple MVME5100 boards may be installed in a single VME chassis;
however, each must have a unique VMEbus address. Other MPUs on the
VMEbus can interrupt, disable, communicate with, and determine the
operational status of the processor(s).

Initialization Process
The MPU, hardware, and firmware initialization process is performed by
the PPCBug firmware upon s ystem powerup or system res et. The firmware
initializes the devices on the MVME5100 in preparation for booting an
operating system.
The firmware is shipped from the factory with an appropriate set of
defaults. Dependin g on your system a nd specific application , there may or
may not be a need to modify the firmware configuration before you boot
the operating system. If it is necessary, refer to Chapter 3 , PPCBug
Firmware for addition al information on modifying firmware defa ult
parameters.

Introduction
The PPCBug firmware is the layer of software just a bove the hardware.
The firmware provides the proper initialization for the devices on the
MVME5100 upon powerup or reset.
This chapter describes the basics of the PPCBug and its a rchitecture. It also
describes the monitor (interactiv e command portion of th e firmware), and
provides information on using the PPCBug debugger and the special
commands. A complete list of PPCBug commands is also provided.
For full user information about PPCBug, refer to the PPCBug Firmware Package User’s Manual and the PPCBug Diagnostics Manual, listed in
Appendix C, Related Documentat ion.
PPCBug Overview
3
The PPCBug debugger firmware is a powerful evaluation and debugging
tool for systems built around Motorola microprocessor. Facilities are
available for loading and executing user programs under complete
operator control for system evaluation. The PPCBug provides a high
degree of functionality, user friendliness, portability, and ease of
maintenance.
The PPCBug also achieves its portability because it was written entirely in
the C programming language, except where necessary to use assembler
functions.
PPCBug includes com mands for:
❏ Display and modification of memory
❏ Breakpoint and tracing capabilities
❏ A powerful assembler and disassembler useful for patching
programs
3-1
PPCBug Firmware
3
❏ A self-test at powerup feature which verifies the integrity of the
system
PPCBug consists of three parts:
❏ A command-driven, user-interactive software debugger, described
in the PPCBug Firmware Package User’s Manual, listed in
Appendix C, Related Documentat ion (hereafter referred to as
“debugger” or “PPCBug”).
❏ A command-driven diagnostics package for the MVME5100
hardware (hereafter referred to as “diagnostics”). The diagnostics
package is described in the PPCBug Diagnostics Manual, listed in
Appendix C, Related Documentat ion.
❏ A user interface or debug/diagnostics monitor that accepts
commands from the system console terminal.
When using PPCBug, you operate out of e ither the debugger directory or
the diagnostic directory.
❏ If you are in the debugger directory, the debugger prompt
PPC6-Bug> is displayed and you have all of the debugger
commands at your disposal.
❏ If you are in the diagnostic directory, the diagnostic prompt
PPC6-Diag>
is displayed and you have all of the diagnostic
commands at your disposal as well as all of the debugger
commands.
Because PPCBug is command-driv en, it performs it s various operat ions in
response to user commands entered at the keyboard. When you enter a
command, PPCBug executes the command and the prompt reappears.
However, if you enter a command that causes executi on of user target co de
(for example, GO), then control may or may not return to PPC Bug,
depending on the outcome of the user program.
3-2Computer Group Literature Center Web Site
Implementation and Memory Requirements
PPCBug is written largely in the C programming language, providing
benefits of portability and maintai nability. Where necessa ry, assembly
language has been used in the form of separately compiled program
modules containing only assembler code.
Physically, PPCBug is contained in two socketed 32-pin PLCC Flash
devices that together provide 1MB of storage. The executable code is
checksummed at every power-on or reset firmware entry. The result
(which includes a pr ecalcula ted checks um contained in the flash de vices),
is verified against the expected checksum.
PPCBug requires a maximum of 768KB of read/write memory. The
debugger allocates this space from the top of memory. For example, a
system containing 64MB (0x04000000) of read/write memory will place
the PPCBug memory locations 0 x03F40000 to 0 x3FFFFFF. Additionall y,
the first 1MB of DRAM is reserved for the exception vector table and
stack.
Using PPCBug
3
Using PPCBug
PPCBug is command-driven; it pe rforms its various operatio ns in response
to commands that you enter a t the k eyboard. Whe n the
appears on the screen, the debugger is ready to accept debugger
commands. When the
debugger is ready to accept diagnostics commands. To switch from one
mode to the other, enter SD.
What you enter is store d i n an int ernal buff er. Exec ution b egins o nly afte r
you press the Return or Enter key. This allows you t o correct entry error s,
if necessary, with the control characters described in the PPCBug
Firmware Package User’s Manual, listed in Appendix C, Related
Documentation.
After the debugger executes the command, the prompt reappears.
However, depending on what the user program does, if the command
causes execution of a user target code (that is, GO), then control may or
may not return to the debugger.

For example, if a bre akpoint has bee n specified, t hen control re turns to the
debugger when the breakpoint is enc ountered during e xecution of the user
program. Alternately, the user program could return to the debugger by
means of the System Call Handler routine RETURN (described in the
PPCBug Firmware Package User’s Manu al). For more about this, refer to
the GD, GO, and GT command descriptions in the PPCBug Firmware Package User’s Manual, listed in Appendix C, Related Documentation .
A debugger command is made up of the following parts:
❏ The command name, either uppercase or lowercase (for example,
MD or md)
❏ Any required arguments, as specified by command
❏ At least one s pace before the first argume nt. Precede all other
arguments with either a space or comma.
❏ One or more options. Precede an option or a string of options with
a semicolon (;). If no option is entered, the command’s default
option conditions are used.
Hardware and Firmware Initialization
The debugger performs the hardware and firmware initialization process.
This process occurs each time the MVME5100 is reset or powered up. The
steps listed below are a high-level outline; be aware that not all of the
detailed steps are listed.
1. Sets MPU.MSR to known value.
2. Invalidates the MPU's data/instruction caches.

Features Descriptions
General
As stated earlier, the MVME5100 is a high-performance VME based
Single Board Computer featuring Motorola’s PowerPlus II architecture
with a choice of processors. The board can be equipped with either the
Motorola MPC7410 proc essor with AltiVec ™ technol ogy for algori thmic
intensive computations or with the low-power MPC755 or MPC750 for
low-power or field applications.
Designed to meet the needs of OEMs servicing th e military and ae rospace,
industrial automation, and semiconductor process equipment market
segments, the MVME5100 is available in both commercial grade (0° to
55° C) and industrial grade (–20° to 71° C) temperatures.
The MVME5100 has two Input/Output (I/O) modes of operation: PMC
and SBC (also called 761 mode or IPMC mode). In PMC mode, it is ful ly
backwards compatible with previous generation dual PMC products such
as the MVME2300 and MVME2400.
Features Descriptions
4
In the SBC mode, the MVME5100 is backwards compatible with the
corresponding Motorola MVME712 or MVME761 transition board
originated for use with previous generation single-board computer
products, such as the MVME2600 and MVME2700.
It is important to note that MVME712 and MVME761 compatibility is
accomplished with the addition of the corresponding IPMC712 or
IPMC761 (an optional add-on PMC card). The IPMC712 and IPMC761
provides rear I/O sup port for one single-en ded ultra-wide SCSI device, on e
parallel port, four serial ports (two synchronous for 761 and one for 712,
and two asynchronous/synchronous for 761 and three for 712), and I
functionality through the Hawk ASIC. This multi-function PMC card is
offered with the MVME5100 as a factory bundled configuration.

Processor
Features Descriptions
The MVME5100 incorporates a BGA foot print that supports both the
MCP7410 and the MCP75x processo rs. The max imum external pr ocessor
bus speed is 100 MHz.
NoteThe MCP7410 is configured to operate only with the PowerPC
60xbus interface.
System Memory Controller and PCI Host Bridge
The on-board Hawk ASIC provides the bridge function between the
processor’s bus and the PCI bus. It provides 32-bit addressing and 64-bit
data; however, 64-bit addr essing (dual address cycle) is not sup ported. The
ASIC also supports various processor external bus frequencies up to
100 MHz.
There are four programmable map decoders for each direction to provide
flexible address mappings between the processor and the PCI bus. The
ASIC also provides an Multi-Processor Interrupt Controller (MPIC) to
handle various interrupt sources. They are: four MPIC timer interrupts,
interrupts from all PCI devices, and two software interrupts.
Memory
The following subsections describe various memory capabilities on the
MVME5100 including Flash memory and ECC SDRAM memory.
4
Flash Memory
The MVME5100 contains two ba nks of Flash me mory. Bank B consists of
two 32-pin devices which can be populated with 1MB of Flash memory
(only 8-bit write s are supported fo r this bank). Refer to the applicati on note
following for more write-protect information on this product.
Bank A has 4 16-bit Smart Voltage FLASH SMT devices. With 32Mbit
flash devices, the fl ash memory size is 16MB. Not e that only 32-bi t writes
are supported for this bank of flash memory.
http://www.motorola.com/computer/literature4-5
Functional Description
4
Application Note: For Am29DL322C or Am29DL323C, 32Megabit
(4M x 8-Bit/2M x 16-bit) CMOS 3.0 Volt-only Flash Memory.
The Write Protect function provides a hardware method of protecting
certain boot sectors. If the system a sserts V IL (l ow signal) on the
WP#/ACC pin, the device disables the program and erase capability,
independently of whether those sectors were protected or unprotected
using the method described in the Sector/Sector Block Protection and
Unprotection of the AMD datasheet. The two outermost 8Kbyte boot
sectors are the two sectors containing the lowest addresses in a bottomboot-configured dev ice, or the two sectors containing the high est addresses
in a top-boot-configured device.
The aforementioned Motorola implemented device (at the time of this
printing is the only Motor ol a qual i fi ed Flash device used on this product )
is a top-boot device, and as such, the write protected area is in the upper
16KB of each device. And, since Motorola is using 4 devices for the
soldered Flash bank, the write protected region corresponds to the upper
64KB of the soldered Flash memory map. Thus the address range of
$F4FF 0000 to F4FF FFFF is the write protected region when the J16
header is jumpered across pins 2 and 3.
If PPCBug tries to write to those writ e-protected address areas when
pins 2-3 on J16 are set, the command will simply not finish (i.e., erase
sector function stops at $F4FF 0000).
ECC SDRAM Memory
The MVME5100’s on-board memory and optional memory mezzanines
allow for a variety of memory size options. Memory size can be 64 or
512MB for a total of 1GB on-board and mezzanine ECC memory. The
memory is co ntrolled by the hardware which provides single-b it error
correction and d oubl e- bit e rr or detection (ECC is ca lculated over 72-bits).
Either 1 or 2 mezz anines can be installed. Ea ch mezzanin e will add 1 bank
of SDRAM memory of 256MB. A total of 512MB of mezzanine memory
can be added. Refer to Appendix D, RAM50 0 Memory Expansion Modu le
for more information.
4-6Computer Group Literature Center Web Site
P2 Input/Output (I/O) Modes
The MVME5100 has two P2 I/O modes (SBC and PMC) that are userconfigurable with jumpers on the board (J6 and J20). The jumpers route
the on-board Ethernet port 2 to row C of the P2 connector. Ethernet
jumpers (J4, J10, and J17) should also be configured.
Features Descriptions
The SBC mode (also called 76 1 or IPMC mode) are backwards compa tible
with the corresponding MVME712 and MVME761 transition cards and
the P2 adapter card (excluding PMC I/O routing) used on the
MVME2600/2700. The SBC mode is accomplishe d by configuring the on board jumpers and attach ing an IPMC712 or IPMC761 PMC in PMC slo t
1 of the MVME5100.
PMC mode is backwards compatible with the MVME2300/MVME2400.
PMC mode is accomplished by simply configuring the on-board jumpers.
NoteRefer to Chapter 5, Pin Assignments for P2 Input/Output Mode
jumper setti ngs.
Input/Output Interfaces
The following subsections describe the major I/O interfaces on the
MVME5100 including Ethernet, VMEbus, a synchronous communications
ports, real-time clock/ NVRAM/Watchdog Timer, other timer interfaces,
interrupt routing capabilities and IDSEL routing capabilities.
Ethernet Interface
4
The MVME5100 incorporates dual Ethernet in terface s (Port 1 and Port 2)
via two Fast Ethernet PCI controller chips.
The Port 1 10BaseT/100BaseTX inte rface is rout ed to the front pa nel. The
Port 2 Ethernet interface is routed to either the front panel or the P2
connector as configure d by jumpers. Th e front pane l connecto rs are of t he
RJ45 type.
http://www.motorola.com/computer/literature4-7
Functional Description
4
Every board is assigned two Ethernet Station Addresses. The address is
$0001AFXXXXX where XXXXX is the unique number assigne d to each
interface. Each Eth ernet Station Address is displayed on a label attached to
the PMC front-panel keep-out area.
In addition, LAN 1 Ethernet address is stored in the configuration ar ea of
the NVRAM specified by the Boot ROM and in SROM.
VMEbus Interface
The VMEbus interface is provided by t he Universe II ASIC. Refer to the
Universe II User’s Manual, as listed in Appendix C, Related
Documentation, for additional information.
Asynchronous Communications
The MVME5100 provides dual asynchronous debug ports. The serial
signals COM1 and COM2 are routed throug h appropriate EIA-23 2 drivers
and receivers to an RJ45 connector on the front panel (COM1) and an onboard connector (COM2). The external signals are ESD protected.
Real-Time Clock & NVRAM & Watchdog Timer
The MVME5100’s design incorpor ates 32KB of non-vo latile stati c RAM,
along with a real-ti me clock and a watchdog function an inte grated device.
Refer to the M48T37V CMOS 32Kx8 Timekeeper SRAM Data Sheet, as
referenced in Appendix C, Related Documentation for additional
programming and engineering information.
Timers
Timers and counters on the MVME5100 are provided by the board’s
hardware (Hawk ASIC ). There are four 32- bit timers on th e board that may
be used for system timing or to generate periodic interrupts.
Interrupt Routing
Legacy interrupt assignment for the PCI/ISA Bridge is maintained to
ensure software compatibility between the MVME5100 and the
MVME2700 while in SBC mode.
4-8Computer Group Literature Center Web Site
IDSEL Routing
Features Descriptions
This is accomplished by using the corresponding on-board IPMC712 or
IPMC761 connector to route the PCI/ISA Bridge interrupt signal to the
external in terrupt 0 of the Hawk ASIC (MPIC).
NoteThe SCSI device on either the IPMC712 or IPMC761 uses the
standard INTA# pin J11-04 of PMC Slot 1.
Legacy IDSEL assignment for the PCI/ISA Bridge is also maintained to
ensure software compatibili ty between MVME5100 and the MVME2700
while in SBC mode (also called 761 or IPMC mode).
This is accomplished by usi ng eith er the on -board IPMC712 or IPMC761
connector to route IDSEL (AD11) to the PCI/I SA Bridge on the IPMC712
or IPMC761.
NoteThe SCSI device on the IPMC712 and IPMC761 uses the
standard IDSEL pin J12-25 connected to AD16.

Connectors
IPMC761 Connector (J3) Pin Assignments
This connetor is used to provide an interface to the IPMC761 module
signals and is locate d near J1 1. The pin assi gnments for this conne ctor are
as follows:
This connector is used to provide memory expansion capability. A single
memory mezzanine card provides a maximum of 256MB of memory.
Attaching another memory mezzanine to the first mezzanine provides an
additional 512MB of expansion memory. The pin assignments for this
connector are as follows:
NotePIN 130, 131, MEZZ1_L, MEZZ2_L, configures the board’s
local bus frequency. If a single mezzanine is attached to the
board, MEZZ1_L will be pulled down on the board. If a second
mezzanine is attached on-top to the first, MEZZ2_L will be
pulled down on the board. This may cause the clock generation
logic to set the local bus frequency to 83.33 MHz if necessary.
