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 5-row 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. 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 19). IPMC mode is selected when an IPMC712 or IPMC761 module is used. If an IPMC is uVerify that hardware is installed and the power/peripheral cables connected are appropriate for your system configuration. Replace the chassis or system cover, reconnect the system to the AC or DC power source, and turn the equipment power onsed, 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 23). 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 at a later date. 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

Getting Started

This section provides an overview of the steps necessary to install and power up the MVME6100 and a brief section on unpacking and ESD precautions.

Overview of Startup Procedures

The following table lists the things you will need to do before you can use this board and tells where to find the information you need to perform each step. Be sure to read this entire chapter, including all Caution and Warning notes, before you begin

Unpacking Guidelines

Unpack the equipment from the shipping carton. Refer to the packing list and verify that all items are present. Save the packing material for storing and reshipping of equipment

If the shipping carton is damaged upon receipt, request that the carrier’s agent be present during the unpacking and inspection of the equipment

Configuring the Hardware

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
