Configuration
This chapter explains secondary bus masters and interrupt routing as related
to edge connectors on the board.
The PCI2250 supports four secondary bus masters. Due to board space, only
three masters are supported with the EVM2250B board. The three supported
masters can be plugged into three edge connectors labeled P1, P2, and P3.
These edge connectors are configured based on the Table 3–1.

Board Configuration
This chapter describes the location and purpose of board components such
as pins, jumpers, connectors, and LEDs.
Built into the evaluation board is the ability to monitor and test all the
capabilities of the PCI2250. There are many jumpers located on the evaluation
board (J1 through J12), which allow an engineer to perform tests ranging from
measuring power to changing the arbitration of the PCI2250. All of these
jumpers are defined in Table 4–1.

4.2PCI2250 Mode Select Pins
The PCI2250 has three modes of operation based on the value of the mode
select pins MS0 (J6-2) and MS1 (J5-2). Table 4–2 shows the jumper settings
for the different modes of operation.

4.2.1Clock Run Mode
When the PCI2250 is in clock run mode, jumpers J1 and J7 should not be
jumpered. The clock run signals can be pulled directly from pin 2 of the jumper
headers.

4.2.2CompactPCI Hot Swap
When hot-swap mode is selected, jumpers J1 and J7 should have a jumper
between pins 2 and 3, routing the multifunction pins to the CompactPCI test
points.

When Intel mode is selected, jumpers J1 and J7 should have a jumper

4.4Power Measurements
In order to measure the current drawn by the core logic or one of the VIO rails
of the PCI2250 it is necessary to isolate the power supplied to these pins from
the rest of the system. This can be done by cutting the trace that connects the
power pins to the system. Jumpers J6, J7, and J8 have default traces that are
provided for this purpose. After the traces are cut, an external power supply
can be used along with a current meter to measure the current used by the
selected power rail. The power rail can then be reconnected to the system by
placing a jumper across the cut trace.

4.5Mictor Connector Definition
Connectors MC1 and MC2 can be used to connect a logic analyzer to the
secondary PCI bus. See Table 4–3 for a listing of the signals for each logic
analyzer POD.
The board layout is shown in Figure 4–1. The schematic diagram of the board
is in Figure 4–2. Table 4–4, bill of materials, is a list of the parts used to
assemble the board.
