1Hardware Preparation and
Introduction
This chapter contains the followin g informat ion:
❏Board preparation and install at ion 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 o f ECC-protected DDR DRAM, up to 128MB of
flash memory, and a dual Gigabit Ethernet interface.
Installation
1
Front panel connectors on the MVME6100 board include: two RJ-45
connectors for the Gigabit Ethernet, one RJ-45 connector for the
asynchronous seri al port with inte grated 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. Al l I/O pins of PMC sl ot 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 ro w 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) an d PCI b us 1 (roo t 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 inte rface
1-1
Page 19

Hardware Preparation and Installation
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 5-row 160-pin connectors as specified in the
VME64 Extension Standard. It also dra ws +12V and +5V po wer 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.
NoteFor maximum VMEb us performance, the MVME6100 sho uld be
mounted in a VME64x compatible backplane (5-row). 2eSST
transfers are not supported when a 3-row backplane is used.
The MVME6100 supports mul tiple modes of I/O operat ion. 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, an d J25-J28 (s ee Table 1-2 on page 1-6). IPMC mode
is selected whe n a n I P MC712 or IPMC761 module is used. If an I PMC 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 1-9).
The IPMC712 and IPMC761 use AD11 as the IDSEL li ne for the W inbond
PCI-ISA bridge device. This device supplies the four serial and one
parallel port of the IPMC7xx module. The Discover y II PHB (MV64360)
does not recognize a ddress lines bel ow 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.
1-2Computer Group Literature Center Web Site
Page 20
NoteOther 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
Avoid touching areas of integrated circuitry; static discharge can damage
!
circuits.
Motorola strongly re commends that you use an antist atic wris t 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 com ponent from its protective wrapper or from the system,
place the component flat on a grounded, stati c-free surface (a nd, in the case
of a board, component si de 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
!
Inserting or removing modules with power applied may result in damage
to module components.

Hard ware Co nfi guration
This sect ion discusses certain hardware and software tasks tha t 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 installi ng the module.
Most options on t he MVME6100 are softw are confi gurable. Configur ation
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 settin gs are descr i bed furthe r on in this
section. If you are resetting the board jumpers from their default settings,
it is important to verify that all settings are res et properly.

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 high-performance embedded board
products using state-of-the-art system memory controllers and bridge
chips, such as the MV 64360.
In addition to an overview of the product, this chapter includes a list of
standard MOTLoad commands, the default VME and fi rmware 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 secondar y function of the MO TLoad firmw are is to serve
in some respects as a test suite provid ing individual tests for certain
devices.
MOTLoad i s controlled through an easy-to-use, UNIX-l ike, command line
interface. The MOTLoad software package is similar to many end-user
applications desi gned 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 m ore details.
MO TLoad Implementation and Memory Requirements
The implementation of MOTLoad and its memory requirements are
product specif ic. The MVME6100 single-boar d computer (SBC) is off ered
with a wide range of memory (for e xample, DRAM, external cache, fla sh).
Typically, the smallest amount of on-board DRAM that a Motorola SBC
3-1
Page 35

MOTLoad Firmware
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 type s of co mmands a re invoked from the MOTLoad command
line in a similar fashion. Beyond that, MOTLoad utilities and MOTLoad
tests are distinctly different.
MOTLoad Utility Applications
The definition of a MOTLoad utility application is very broad. Simply
stated, it is co nsidered a MO TLoad co mmand, if it i s not a MOTLoad test.
Typically, MOTLoad utility applica ti ons are appl ications that aid the user
in some way (that is, they do something useful). From the perspective of
MOTLoad, e xa mples of utili ty appl icati ons ar e: conf i gurat ion, dat a/st atus
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,
❏Utility ap plications m ay interact with the user. Most test
MOTLoad Tests
A MOTLoad test application determines whether or not the hardware
meets a giv en st andard. Test applicatio ns are v al idation tes ts. Validation is
conformance to a sp ecification. 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.
multiple utility applications cannot be executing concurrently)
applications do not.
3-2Computer Group Literature Center Web Site
Page 36
MOTLoad Tests
All MOTLoad tests are designed to validate functionality with minimum
user interaction. Once launched, m ost MOTLoad tests operate
automaticall y without an y user interaction. T here are a f ew tests where the
functionality b eing va lidated requir es user intera ction (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 requ ire the ope rator to specify a test device at the MOTLoad
command line when invoking the test.
A listing of all device path strings can be displa yed t hrough 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 de vice path string req uirement, li ke tes ting RAM, which
is not considered a true device and can be directly t es ted wi t hout a device
path string. Refer to the devShow command description page in the
MOTLoad Firmware Package User’s Manual.
3
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 pr ompt. 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.
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 info rmation.

MOTLoad Firmware
Using MOTLoad
Interaction with MOTLoad is performed via a command line interfa ce
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 co mmand line interface is simi lar to a UNIX command line
shell interface. Commands are in itiated by entering a valid MOTLoad
command (a text string) at the MOTLoad command line prompt and
pressing the carri age-return ke y to signify the end of inpu t. MOTLoad t hen
performs the specified action. An example of a MOTLoad command line
prompt is shown below. The MOTLoad prompt changes accord ing to what
product it is used on (for example, MVME5500, MVME6100).
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 par tial MOTLoad command string that can be resolv ed
to a unique v alid MO TLoad comman d and presses t he carriage- return ke y,
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.

Command Line Help
Each MOTLoad firmware package has an extensive, product-specific help
facility t hat can be accesse d through the help command. The user can enter help at the MOTLoad command line t o display a complete listing of all
available tests and utilities.
Example
MVME6100> help
For help with a specific test or utility the user can enter the following at the
MOTLoad prompt:

Command Line Rules
There are a fe w things to remember whe n enteri ng a MO TLoad 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)
❏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 de vice tree st rings are case
sensitive
Example:

Firmware Settings
The following sections provide additional information pertaining to the
VME firmware settings of the MVME6100. 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 initia lized to the a ppropriate set ting 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

Remote Start
As described in the MO TLoad F irmwar e Package User's Manual, liste d in
Appendix C, Related Docume ntation, 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 MVME 6100.
MOTLoad u ses one of four mail boxes in the Tsi148 VME controller as the
inter-board communication address (IBCA) between the host and the
target.
CR/CSR slave ad dresses con fi gured by MO TLoad are as signed acco rding
to the installation slot in the backplane, as indicated by the VME64 Specification. For reference, the following values are provided:
For further det ai ls on CR/CSR space, ple ase refer to the VME64 Specification, listed in Appendix C, Related Documentation.
The MVME6100 uses a Discover y II for its VME bridge. The offsets of the
mailboxes in the Discovery II are defined in the Discovery II User Manual ,
http://www.motorola.com/computer/literature3-19
Page 53

MOTLoad Firmware
listed in Appendix C, Related Documentation , but are noted here for
reference:
Mailbox 0 is at offset 7f348 in the CR/CSR space
Mailbox 1 is at offset 7f34C in the CR/CSR space
Mailbox 2 is at offset 7f350 in the CR/CSR space
Mailbox 3 is at offset 7f354 in the CR/CSR space
The selection of the mailbox used by remote start on an individual
MVME6100 is determined by th e setting of a global en vir onment var iable
(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 MVME6100’s IBCA needs to be mapped appropriately through the
master’s VMEbus bridge. For example, to use remote start using mailbox
0 on an MVME6100 installed in slot 5, t he mas te r w oul d ne ed a mapping
to support reads and wri tes of addres s 0x002f f348 in VME CR/CSR space
(0x280000 + 0x7f348).
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
MVME6100, 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, M MU, FPU, and other CPU internal items
❏Initialize the memory controller
3-20Computer Group Literature Center Web Site
Page 54
Firmware Scan for Boot Image
❏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, pos sibly inter actively, fo r a valid MCG boot image;
anticipated to be upgra de of MCG firmware. If found, the image is
executed. A return to the boot block code is not anticipated.
❏Execute the rec overy image of the f irmware in t he boot block if no
valid USER or MCG 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 locati ons at wh ic h valid boot images were
discovered, specify which discovered image is to be executed, or specify
that the rec overy image in the boot block of the active Flash bank is to be
executed.

Firmware Scan for Boot Image
The scan is per formed b y e xamining e ach 1MB b oundary f or a def ine d set
of flags that identify the image as being Power On Self Test (POST),
USER, or MCG. MOTLoad i s an MCG image. POST i s a us er-developed

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

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 co ntent of the che cksum location i n the header
is not part of the checksum calculation. The calculation assumes the
location to be zero. Th e algorith m is impleme nted 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);
}
MOTLoad Image Flags
The image flags of the header define various bit options that control how
the image w ill be executed .

Alternate Boot Data Structure
The globalData field of the alternate boot data structure points to an area
of RAM which was init ialized 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 alternat e boot image, is e xecute d. It is intende d to provid e 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

image. Alternat e boot i mages need to in itialize the boa rd to what e ve r 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

The real-time clock/NVRAM/watchdog timer is implemented using an
integrated SGS-Thompson M48T37V Timekeeper SRAM and Snaphat
battery. The minimum M48T37V watchdog timer time-out resoluti on is
62.5 msec (1/16s) and m aximum time-out period is 124 seconds. The
interface for the Timekeeper and SRAM is connected to the MV64360
device controller bus on the MVME6100 board. Refer to the MV64360 Data Sheet, listed in Appendix C, Related Documentation, for additional
information and programming details.
