Motorola MVME197DP User Manual page 3

This document provides general information, hardware preparation and installation
instructions, operating instructions, and a functional description for the MVME197DP
and MVME197SP versions of the MVME197 series of Single Board Computers.
This document is intended for anyone who wants to design OEM systems, supply
additional capability to an existing compatible system, or work in a lab environment
for experimental purposes.
A basic knowledge of computers and digital logic is assumed.
To use this document, you may wish to become familiar with the publications listed in
the Related Documentation section found in the following pages.
Throughout this document, a convention has been maintained whereby data and
address parameters are preceded by a character which specifies the numeric format, as
follows:
$
%
&
For example, "12" is the decimal number twelve, and "$12" is the decimal number
eighteen. Unless otherwise specified, all address references are in hexadecimal
throughout this document.
An asterisk (*) following the signal name for signals which are level significant denotes
that the signal is true or valid when the signal is low.
An asterisk (*) following the signal name for signals which are edge significant denotes
that the actions initiated by that signal occur on high to low transition.
In this document, assertion and negation are used to specify forcing a signal to a
particular state. In particular, assertion and assert refer to a signal that is active or true;
negation and negate indicate a signal that is inactive or false. These terms are used
independently of the voltage level (high or low) that they represent.
