RTE-V821-PC USER’ S MANUAL REVISION HISTORY Date of Revision Page Description enforcement August 11, 1995 First issue December 25, 1995 11, 12 Correction of error related to descriptions about SW2 (1-2 and 3-4) settings...
This manual describes the RTE-V821-PC, which is an evaluation board for the V821, NEC's CPU. With the RTE-V821-PC, it is possible to develop and debug programs, and evaluate the CPU performance, using the GreenHills Multi debugger. Communication with this debugger is carried out using the IBM-PC/AT ISA bus or RS-232C serial interface.
RTE-V821-PC USER’ S MANUAL 2. FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS The overview of each function block of the RTE-V821-PC is shown below. JSUBPORT CONNECTOR USER V821 JEXT D-RAM S-RAM CONNECTOR Local Bus Internal ISA BUS I/F TIMER/SIO Control RS-232C ISA Bus CONNECTOR...
RTE-V821-PC USER’ S MANUAL 3. BOARD CONFIGURATION The physical layout of the major components on the RTE-V821-PC board is shown below. This chapter explains each component. JEXT JPOWER DRAM SIMM SWRESET OSC1 V821 SCC/ TIMER JCPU SRAM RTE-V821-PC Board Top View 3.1.
RTE-V821-PC USER’ S MANUAL 3.4. SWITCH2 (SW2) SW2 is a switch for general-purpose input ports. When a switch contact is open, it corresponds to 1. When it is closed, it corresponds to 0. See Section 6.1.2 for details. 3.5. The LEDs are used to indicate statuses, as listed below.
RTE-V821-PC USER’ S MANUAL Number Signal Description 1,3,5,7,9, 11,13,15 SCLK-/P07 Connected directly to the CPU and pulled up with 47 kΩ. SI/P05 Connected directly to the CPU and pulled up with 47 kΩ. SO/P06 Connected directly to the CPU and pulled up with 47 kΩ.
The V821 can use a PLL for system clock generation. The PLL mode is selected according to the state of the TCLR/P00 pin at a reset. The TCLR/P00 pin is pulled down with 47 kΩ in the RTE-V821-PC, so the PLL mode is usually selected. In this case, the frequency of the oscillator or crystal connected to the OSC1 socket is one-fifth the system clock frequency.
The capacity of installed SIMMs can be detected using a PIO port. (See Section 6.1.2.) 3.12. ROM SOCKETS The RTE-V821-PC has a ROM socket, which is used to hold 40-pin ROM chips to provide standard 128 Kbytes (64K x16 bits). When the system clock frequency is 25 MHz, use ROM...
4. INSTALLATION AND USE The RTE-V821-PC board is designed to be installed in the ISA bus slot of a PC/AT or compatible (hereafter called the PC). However, it can also be used as a standalone, if it is powered from an external power supply.
INSTALLATION ON THE ISA BUS When the RTE-V821-PC is installed in the ISA bus slot of the PC, power (+5V) is supplied from the ISA bus to the board. In addition, the ISA bus can be used for communication with the debugger, so programs are down-loaded at high speed.
Memory Map DRAM space (0000-0000H to 00FF-FFFFH) This space is in a 72-pin SIMM chip mounted on the RTE-V821-PC board. A 4-Mbyte SIMM chip is used in a standard configuration. It can be replaced with an 8- Mbyte or 16-Mbyte SIMM chip for memory expansion.
The standard ROM chip that is factory-set contains the Multi monitor. 5.2. I/O MAP The I/O space in the V821-CPU is not used in the RTE-V821-PC. The I/O registers used for control purposes are allocated in the memory-mapped SYSTEM-I/O space. This section explains how to set the internal I/O registers.
5.2.7. Serial Control Unit (SCU) The UART function is not used in the RTE-V821-PC. However, TxD is used as the UBE- pin, so the UART transmission function is unavailable. Only the reception function is open to the user, because RxD is not used in the RTE-V821-PC.
Use of Interrupts 5.2.9. Bus Arbitration Unit (BAU) The bus arbitration unit is not used in the RTE-V821-PC. The CPU pins related to the bus arbitration unit (HLDRQ- and HLDAK-) are not used in the RTE-V821-PC either. 5.2.10. Clock Generator (CG) Clock pulses are generated from an oscillator or crystal mounted on the OSC1 socket.
RTE-V821-PC USER’ S MANUAL 6. SYSTEM-I/O SYSTEM-I/O is an I/O device mapped in a memory space. The I/O devices include the UART/TIMER, PIO, and ISA bus interface. (No description about the ISA bus interface is included.) 6.1. UART/TIMER (SCC2691) The SCC2691 UART receiver/transmitter LSI chip produced by PHILIPS Signetics is used as the UART/TIMER.
