The MVME7100ET is designed to support the MC864xD (dual e600 core) processor. The
processor is configured to operate at 1.067GHz or 1.33GHz core frequency with a
corresponding DDR400 Mb or DDR533 DDR2 memory bus.
The MVME7100ET supports the power-on reset (POR) pin sampling method for processor
reset configuration. The states of the various configuration pins on the processor are
sampled when reset is de-asserted to determine the desired operating modes.
Combinations of pull-up and pull-down resistors are used to set the options. Some options
are fixed and some are selectable at build time by installing the proper pull-up/pull-down
resistor. Refer to the MC864xD reference manual, listed in Appendix B, Related
Documentation on page 109, and Manufacturers’ Documents on page 109 for additional
details and/or programming information.

be configured to generate a 1MHz timer reference. For programming information, see
MVME7100ET Single Board Computer Programmer’s Reference.
Functional Description
4.7Ethernet Interfaces
The MVME7100ET provides four 10/100/1000 Mbps full-duplex Ethernet interfaces using
the MC864xD Ethernet Controllers. Two Broadcom BCM5482S PHYs are used. The
Ethernet ports on the MC864xD are configured to operate in RGMII mode. Two Gigabit
Ethernet interfaces are routed to front panel RJ-45 connectors with integrated LEDs for
speed and activity indication. The other two Gigabit Ethernet interfaces are routed to P2 for
rear I/O. For programming information, see MVME7100ET Single Board ComputerProgrammer’s Reference.
4.8Local Bus Interface
The MVME7100ET uses the MC864xD 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 MVME7100ET
uses the LBC in GPCM mode to interface to two physical banks of on-board flash, an onboard Quad UART (QUART), an MRAM, and on-board 32-bit timers along with
control/status registers. Access timing for each device type is programmable and depends
on the device timing data found in the VPD during initialization.

Page 73
A hardware flash bank write protect switch is provided on the MVME7100ET to enable write
protection of the NOR Flash. Regardless of the state of the software flash write protect bit
in the NOR Flash Control/Status register, write protection is enabled when this switch is
ON. When this switch is OFF, write protection is controlled by the state of the software flash
write protect bits and can only be disabled by clearing this bit in the NOR Flash
Control/Status register. Note that the F_WE_HW bit reflects the state of the switch and is
only software readable whereas the F_WP_SW bit supports both read and write
operations.
The MVME7100ET provides a dual boot option for booting from one of two separate boot
images in the boot flash bank which are referred to as boot block A and boot block B. Boot
blocks A and B are each 1 MB in size and are located at the top (highest address) 2 MB of
the boot flash memory space. Block A is located at the highest 1 MB block and block B is
the next highest 1 MB block. A flash boot block switch is used to select between boot block
A and boot block B. When the switch is OFF, the flash memory map is normal and block A
is selected as shown in Figure 3. When the switch is ON, block B is mapped to the highest
address as shown in Figure 4. The MAP_SELECT bit in the flash Control/Status register
can disable the jumper and restore the memory map to the normal configuration with block
A selected.

expansion boards. Refer to the XMCspan data sheet for additional details and/or
programming information.
4.12Power Supplies
The MVME7100ET on-board voltages will be generated using Linear Tech LTC3828 dual
output two phase controllers and LTC3416 single output controllers. The following sections
detail the MVME7100ET power requirements.
Functional Description
4.12.1Power Sequencing
In order to meet the power sequencing requirements of the various components on the
MVME7100ET, the power supply controllers implement voltage tracking which allows the
power supply outputs to track each other coincidentally during power up and power down.
The +3.3V supply output will be used as the tracking reference. All supply outputs will reach
their final values within 20 milliseconds during power up.
4.12.2Power Supply Monitor
Logic is provided on-board to monitor the PGOOD signal from the LTC3828 and LTC3416
regulators to determine if the power supply outputs are within tolerance. If any of the power
supplies fail, this logic shuts off the power supplies to avoid any component damage. If the
+5.0V power supply is still good during a fail condition, a planar red LED (PWR FAIL D9) is
illuminated to indicate the power supply fail condition.

Page 76
Functional Description
4.12.3Power Supply Filtering and Fusing
Each of the switching power supply inputs on the MVME7100ET will have an inductor to
reduce switching noise from being fed back onto the +5.0V input. The LTC3828 supplies
will each have a 10A fuse to protect the supplies from over-current in case of component
failure.
4.13Clock Distribution
The clock function generates and distributes all of the clocks required for system operation.
The PCI-E clocks are generated using an eight output differential clock driver. The
PCI/PCI-X bus clocks are generated by the bridge chips from the PCI-E clock. Additional
clocks required by individual devices are generated near the devices using individual
oscillators. For clock assignments, refer to the MVME7100ET Single Board ComputerProgrammer’s Reference manual.
4.13.1System Clock
The system clock is driven by an oscillator. The following table defines the clock
frequencies for various configurations.

4.14Reset Control Logic
There are multiple sources of reset on the MVME7100ET. The following sources generate
a board level reset:
A board level hard reset generates a reset for the entire SBC including the processor, local
PCI/PCI-X buses, Ethernet PHYs, serial ports, flash devices, and PLD(s). If the
MVME7100ET is configured as the VME system controller, the VMEbus and local Tsi148
reset input are also reset.

MOTLoad Firmware
6.1Overview
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. 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.
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.
6.2Implementation and Memory Requirements
The implementation of MOTLoad and its memory requirements are product specific. The
MVME7100ET 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 SBC
has is 32MB. Each supported product line has its own unique MOTLoad binary image(s).
Currently the largest MOTLoad compressed image is less than 1MB in size.
6.3MOTLoad 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.
6.3.1Utilities
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:
MVME7100ET Single Board Computer Installation and Use (6806800K87G)85
Page 86
MOTLoad Firmware
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.
6.3.2Tests
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. It is possible for a board's component to fail in the
user application but pass specification conformance. 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. Test results are not preserved and
therefore not available to user applications subsequent to their execution. All MOTLoad
tests/commands have complete and separate descriptions (refer to the MOTLoadFirmware Package User’s Manual for this information).
MOTLoad Firmware
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 MOTLoadFirmware 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.
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.

6.4Using the Command Line Interface
Interaction with MOTLoad is performed via a command line interface through a serial port
on the single board computer, 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.
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, MVME7100).
Example:
MVME7100>
MVME7100ET Single Board Computer Installation and Use (6806800K87G)91
Page 92
MOTLoad Firmware
If an invalid MOTLoad command is entered at the MOTLoad command line prompt,
MOTLoad displays a message that the command was not found.
Example:
MVME7100> mytest
"mytest" not found
MVME7100>
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:
MVME7100>[ver]sion

Mon Aug 29 15:24:13 MST 2005
MVME7100>
MOTLoad Firmware
If the partial command string cannot be resolved to a single unique command, MOTLoad
informs the user that the command was ambiguous.
Example:
MVME7100> te
"te" ambiguous
MVME7100>
6.4.1Rules
There are a few things to remember when entering a MOTLoad command:
Multiple commands are per mitted 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).
92MVME7100ET Single Board Computer Installation and Use (6806800K87G)
Page 93
The argument/option identifier character is always preceded by a hyphen (-)
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:
MVME7100> flashProgram –d/dev/flash0 –n00100000
For more information on MOTLoad operation and function, refer to the MOTLoad Firmware
Package User’s Manual.
6.4.2Help
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:
MVME7100> help
MOTLoad Firmware
character.
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.
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)

6.5Firmware Settings
The following sections provide additional information pertaining to the MVME7100ET VME
bus interface settings as configured by MOTLoad. A few VME settings are controlled by
hardware jumpers while the majority of the VME settings are managed by the firmware
command utility vmeCfg.
VME settings in MOTLoad are preserved through the use of Global Environment
Variables (GEVs). Configuration GEVs are executed only at power-on reset.
Therefore, if VME configuration changes are implemented through vmeCfg and
board reset must be effected for the changes to be implemented in MOTLoad.
6.5.1Default VME Settings
As shipped from the factory, the MVME7100ET has the following VME configuration
programmed via Global Environment Variables (GEVs) for the Tsi148 VME controller. The
firmware allows certain VME settings to be changed in order for the user to customize the
environment. The following is a description of the default VME settings that are changeable
by the user. For more information, refer to the MOTLoad User’s Manual and Tundra’s
Tsi148 User Manual, listed in Appendix B, Related Documentation.

the PCI-X Local Bus becomes an access to 0xF0000000 on the VMEbus.
Outbound window 3 (OTAT3) is enabled, 2eSST timing at SST320, transfer
mode of SCT, A16/D32 Supervisory access. The window accepts transfers on
the PCI-X Local Bus from 0xB3FF0000-0xB3FF0000 and translates them onto
the VMEbus using an offset of 0x4C000000, thus an access to 0xB3FF0000 on
the PCI-X Local Bus becomes an access to 0xFFFF0000 on the VMEbus.

Outbound window 7 (OTAT7) is enabled, 2eSST timing at SST320, transfer
mode of SCT, CR/CSR Supervisory access. The window accepts transfers on
the PCI-X Local Bus from 0xB1000000-0xB1FF0000 and translates them onto
the VMEbus using an offset of 0x4F000000, thus an access to 0xB1000000 on
the PCI-X Local Bus becomes an access to 0x00000000 on the VMEbus.
6.5.2Control Register/Control Status Register 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 512KB CR/CSR area can be accessed from
the VMEbus using the CR/CSR AM code.

6.6Remote Star t
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
MVME7100ET. MOTLoad uses one of four mailboxes in the Tsi148 VME controller as the
inter-board communication address (IBCA) between the host and the target.
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:
CS/CSR Starting AddressSlot Position
10x0008.0000
MOTLoad Firmware
20x0010.0000
30x0018.0000
40x0020.0000
50x0028.0000
60x0030.0000
70x0038.0000
80x0040.0000
90x0048.0000
A0x0050.0000
B0x0058.0000
C0x0060.0000
For further details on CR/CSR space, please refer to the VME64 Specification, listed in
Appendix B, Related Documentation.
MVME7100ET Single Board Computer Installation and Use (6806800K87G)99
Page 100
MOTLoad Firmware
The MVME7100ET 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 MVME7100ET 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 MVME7100ETs IBCA needs to be mapped appropriately through the master’s
VMEbus bridge. For example, to use remote start using mailbox 0 on an MVME7100ET
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).
6.7Boot Images
MOTLoad Firmware
Valid boot images whether POST, USER, or Alternate MOTLoad, are located on 1 MB
boundaries within the upper 8 MB of flash. The image may exceed 1 MB 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:
