Flash Memory
The MVME5500 contains two banks of Flash memory accessed via the device controller
contained within the GT-64260B. The standard MVME5500 product is built with the 128Mb
devices.
2.8
System Memory
System memory for the MVME5500 is provided by one to four banks of ECC synchronous
DRAM in two banks. During system initialization, the firmware determines the presence and
configuration of each memory bank installed by reading the contents of the serial presence
detection (SPD) EEPROM on the board, and another one on the expansion memory module.
The system firmware then initializes the GT-64260B memory controller for proper operation
based on the contents of the serial presence detection EEPROM.
If a PMC module is plugged into PMC slot 1, the memory mezzanine card cannot be used
because the PMC module covers the memory mezzanine connector.
2.9
PCI Local Buses and Devices
The GT-64260B on the MVME5500 provides two independent 64-bit, 33/66 MHz PCI buses.
The GT-64260B documentation refers to these buses as PCI Bus 0 and PCI Bus 1.
The devices on Bus 1 are the GT-64260B PCI bridge 1, one 32/64-bit PMC slot, and an 82545GM
LAN device. The devices on Bus 0 are the GT-64260B PCI bridge 0, one 32/64-bit PMC slot and
a HiNT PCI 6154 PCI-to-PCI bridge. For the purpose of this document, Bus 1 is also identified as
PCI Bus 1.0, and Bus 0 is also identified as PCI Bus 0.0.
2.9.1
Gigabit Ethernet Interface
The MVME5500 provides a Gigabit Ethernet transceiver interface (1000BaseT) using an Intel
82545GM integrated Ethernet device (Ethernet 1). It also supports 100BaseTX and 10BaseT
modes of operation. The Ethernet interface is accessed via an industry-standard, front-panel
mounted RJ-45 connector.
