Safety Summary

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.

Observe Warnings in Manual.

MVME6100 Installation and Use (V6100A/IH2)

1 Hardware Preparation and Installation

Introduction

This chapter contains the following information:

■ Board preparation and installation instructions

■ ESD precautionary notes

Description

The MVME6100 is a single-slot, single-board computer based on the MPC7457 processor, the MV64360 system controller, the Tsi148 VME Bridge ASIC, up to 1 GB of ECC-protected DDR DRAM, up to 128MB of flash memory, and a dual Gigabit Ethernet interface.

Front panel connectors on the MVME6100 board include: two RJ-45 connectors for the Gigabit Ethernet, one RJ-45 connector for the asynchronous serial port with integrated LEDs for BRDFAIL and CPU run indication, and a combined reset and abort switch.

The MVME6100 is shipped with one additional asynchronous serial port routed to an on-board header.

The MVME6100 contains two IEEE1386.1 PCI, PCI-X capable mezzanine card slots. The PMC slots are 64-bit capable and support both front and rear I/O. All I/O pins of PMC slot 1 and 46 I/O pins of PMC slot 2 are routed to the 5-row DIN, P2 connector. I/O pins 1 through 64 from J14 of PMC slot 1 are routed to row C and row A of P2. I/O pins 1 through 46 from J24 of PMC slot 2 are routed to row D and row Z of P2.

The MVME6100 has two planar PCI buses (PCI0 and PCI1). In order to support a more generic PCI bus hierarchy nomenclature, the MV64360 PCI buses will be referred to in this document as PCI bus 0 (root bridge instance 0, bus 0) and PCI bus 1 (root bridge instance 1, bus 0). PCI bus 1 connects to PMC slots 1 and 2 of the board. PCI bus 0 connects to the Tsi148 VME Bridge ASIC and PMCspan bridge (PCI6520). This interface operates at PCI-X (133 MHz) speed. Both PCI planar buses are controlled by the MV64360 system controller.

Voltage Input/Output (VIO) for PCI bus 1 is set by the location of the PMC keying pins; both pins should be set to designate the same VIO, either +3.3V or +5V.

The MVME6100 board interfaces to the VMEbus via the P1 and P2 connectors, which use 5row 160-pin connectors as specified in the VME64 Extension Standard. It also draws +12V and +5V power from the VMEbus backplane through these two connectors. The +3.3V, +2.5V, +1.8V, and processor core supplies are regulated on-board from the +5V power.

MVME6100 Installation and Use (V6100A/IH2)

Chapter 1 Hardware Preparation and Installation

Note For maximum VMEbus performance, the MVME6100 should be mounted in a VME64x

compatible backplane (5-row). 2eSST transfers are not supported when a 3-row backplane is used.

The MVME6100 supports multiple modes of I/O operation. By default, the board is configured for Ethernet port 2 to the front panel (non-specific transition module), and PMC slot 1 in IPMC mode. The board can be configured to route Ethernet port 2 to P2 and support MVME712M or MVME761 transition modules. The front/rear Ethernet and transition module options are configured by jumper block J30.

Selection of PMC slot 1 in PMC or IPMC mode is done by the jumper blocks J10, J15-J18, and J25-J28 (see Table 1-2 on page 5). IPMC mode is selected when an IPMC712 or IPMC761 module is used. If an IPMC is used, J30 should be configured for the appropriate transition module (see J30 configuration options as illustrated in Front/Rear Ethernet and Transition

Module Options Header (J30) on page 8).

The IPMC712 and IPMC761 use AD11 as the IDSEL line for the Winbond PCI-ISA bridge device. This device supplies the four serial and one parallel port of the IPMC7xx module. The Discovery II PHB (MV64360) does not recognize address lines below AD16. For this reason, although an IPMC7xx module may be used on an MVME6100, the serial and parallel ports are not available, nor addressable. This issue will be resolved by MCG at a later date.

Note Other functions, such as Ethernet and SCSI interfaces, are function independent of the

Winbond IDSEL line. The wide SCSI interface can only be supported through IPMC connector J3.

PMC mode is backwards compatible with the MVME5100 and MVME5500 and is accomplished by configuring the on-board jumpers.

ESD

Use ESD

Wrist Strap

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.

Caution

Warning

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

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 MVME6100, you may need to carry out certain hardware modifications before installing the module.

Most options on the MVME6100 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.

MVME6100 Preparation

Figure 1-1 illustrates the placement of the jumpers, headers, connectors, switches, and various

other components on the MVME6100. There are several manually configurable headers on the MVME6100 and their settings are shown in Ta bl e 1 -2 . Each header’s default setting is enclosed in brackets. For pin assignments on the MVME6100, refer to Chapter 5, Pin Assignments.

3 VMEGAP_L

4VMEGA4_L

5VMEGA3_L

6VMEGA2_L

7VMEGA1_L

8VMEGA0_L

Function

Setting the individual position to ON forces the corresponding signal to zero. If the board is installed in a 5-row backplane, the geographical address is defined by the backplane and positions 3-8 of S3 should be set to OFF. The default setting is OFF.

Flash Boot Bank Select Configuration Switch (S4)

A 4-position SMT configuration switch is located on the board to control Flash Bank B Boot block write-protect and Flash Bank A write-protect. Select the Flash Boot bank and the programmed/safe start ENV settings.

Note It is recommended that Bank B Write Protect always be enabled.

The Bank B Boot WP switch is OFF to indicate that the Flash Bank B Boot block is writeprotected. The switch is ON to indicate no write-protection of Bank B Boot block.

The Bank A WP switch is OFF to indicate that the entire Flash Bank A is write-protected. The switch is ON to indicate no write-protection of Bank A Boot block.

When the Boot Bank Sel Switch is ON, the board boots from Bank B, when OFF, the board boots from Bank A. Default is ON (boot from Bank B).

2 Startup and Operation

Introduction

This chapter gives you information about the:

■ Power-up procedure

■ Switches and indicators

Applying Power

After you verify that all necessary hardware preparation is complete and all connections are made correctly, you can apply power to the system.

When you are ready to apply power to the MVME6100:

■ Verify that the chassis power supply voltage setting matches the voltage present in the

country of use (if the power supply in your system is not auto-sensing)

■ On powering up, the MVME6100 brings up the MOTLoad prompt, MVME6100>

Switches and Indicators

The MVME6100 board provides a single pushbutton switch that provides both abort and reset (ABT/RST) functions. When the switch is depressed for less than three seconds, an abort interrupt is generated to the processor. If the switch is held for more than three seconds, a board hard reset is generated. The board hard reset will reset the MPC7457, MV64360, Tsi148 VME Bridge ASIC, PCI6520, PMC1/2 slots, both Ethernet PHYs, serial ports, PMCspan slot, both flash banks, and the device bus control PLD. If the MVME6100 is enabled for VME system controller, the VME bus will be reset and local reset input is sent to the Tsi148 VME controller.

The MVME6100 has two front-panel indicators:

■ BDFAIL, software controlled and asserted by firmware (or other software) to indicate a

configuration problem (or other failure)

■ CPU, connected to a CPU bus control signal to indicate bus transfer activity

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 MV64360.

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.

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 C, Related

Documentation, for more details.

MOTLoad Implementation and Memory Requirements

The implementation of MOTLoad and its memory requirements are product specific. The MVME6100 single-board computer (SBC) is offered with a wide range of memory (for example, DRAM, external cache, 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.

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.

MVME6100 Installation and Use (V6100A/IH2)

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, MVME5500, MVME6100).

Chapter 3 MOTLoad Firmware

Example:

MVME6100>

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

Example:

MVME6100> mytest

"mytest" not found

MVME6100>

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 will be 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.
