Introduction; What This Guide Provides - Motorola MVME5100 Programmer's Reference Manual

Introduction

The MVME5100 is a state-of-the-art Single Board Computer. It
incorporates Motorola's PowerPlus II architecture with a choice of
PowerPC processors—either Motorola's MPC7400 with AltiVec™
technology for algorithmic intensive computations or the low-power
MPC750.
The MVME5100 incorporates a highly optimized PCI interface and
memory controller enabling up to 582MB memory read bandwidth and
640 MB burst write bandwidth.
The on-board Hawk ASIC provides the bridge function between the
processor's bus and the PCI bus. It provides 32-bit addressing and 64-bit
data; however, 64-bit addressing (dual address cycle) is not supported. The
ASIC also supports various processor external bus frequencies up to
10MHz.
Note

What this Guide Provides

This guide provides programming information and other data applicable to
the MVME5100. As an added convienience, it also provides details of the
chip set (Hawk) programming functions. It is important to note that much
of the board's programming functionality is associated with the Hawk
ASIC. Additional programming information can also be found in the
following manuals (refer to
and Memory Maps
Unless otherwise specified, the designation "MVME5100" refers to all
models of the MVME5100-series Single Board Computers.
