Universal Serial Bus..........52 Introduction The VMIVME-7750 is an Intel Pentium III processor-based single board computer compatible with modern industry standard desktop systems. The VMIVME-7750 therefore retains industry standard memory and I/O maps along with a standard interrupt architecture.
Windows NT 4.0 service pack level 3. It is recommended that an emergency repair disk be kept up-to-date and easily accessible. The VMIVME-7750 includes 32 Kbyte of non-volatile SRAM which can be accessed by the CPU at any time, and is used to store system data that must not be lost during power-off conditions.
The memory map for the Tundra Universe II-based interface VMIVME-7750 is shown in Table 2-1. All systems share this same memory map, although a VMIVME-7750 with less than the full 256 Mbyte of SDRAM does not fill the entire space reserved for On-Board Extended Memory.
VMIVME-7750 Product Manual I/O Port Map Like a desktop system, the VMIVME-7750 includes special input/output instructions that access I/O peripherals residing in I/O addressing space (separate and distinct from memory addressing space). Locations in I/O address space are referred to as ports.
Page 41
$500 - CFF 2048 Reserved * While these I/O ports are reserved for the listed functions, they are not implemented on the VMIVME-7750. They are listed here to make the user aware of the standard PC usage of these ports.
The interrupt number in HEX and decimal are also defined for real and protected mode in Table 2-4 on page 43. The interrupt hardware implementation on the VMIVME-7750 is standard for computers built around the PC architecture, which evolved from the IBM PC/XT. In the IBM PC/XT computers, only eight interrupt request lines exist, numbered from IRQ0 to IRQ7 at the PIC.

For a single function device, only INTA# may be used while the other three interrupt lines have no meaning. Figure 2-1 on page 47 depicts the VMIVME-7750 interrupt logic pertaining to VME operations and the PMC site.
VMIVME-7750 Product Manual The slave PIC accepts the VME interrupts through lines that are defined by the BIOS. The BIOS defines which interrupt line to utilize depending on which system requires the use of the line. PCI Device Interrupt Map The PCI bus-based external devices include the PMC sites, Ethernet controller and the PCI-to-VME bridge.
VMIVME-7750 Product Manual The PCI-to-VME Bridge has the capability of generating a Non-Maskable Interrupt (NMI) via the PCI SERR# line. Table 2-6 describes the register bits that are used by the NMI. The SERR interrupt is routed through logic back to the NMI input line on the CPU.
VME backplane to a VMIACC-0562 transition utility board which terminates into a standard 40-pin header. This channel can support two drives, a master and slave. The IDE interface on the VMIVME-7750 supports ATA-33, ATA-66 and ATA-100 drives and automatically determines the proper operating mode based on the type of drive used.
10BaseT has a maximum length of 100 meters. 100BaseTx The VMIVME-7750 also supports the 100BaseTx Ethernet. A network based on a 100BaseTx standard uses unshielded twisted-pair cables and a RJ-45 connector. The 100BaseTx has a maximum length of 100 meters.
Video Graphics Adapter Video Graphics Adapter The SVGA port on the VMIVME-7750 is controlled by the Intel Graphic and Memory Controller Hub (GMCH) chip with 4 Mbyte video DRAM. The GMCH is hardware and BIOS compatible with the industry EGA and SVGA standards supporting both VESA high-resolution and extended video modes.
VMIVME-7750 Product Manual Universal Serial Bus The VMIVME-7750 provides a dual Universal Serial Bus (USB) connection on the front panel. The on-board USB controllers completely support the standard USB interface. The USB Host Controller moves data between system memory and the USB by processing and scheduling data structures.
VME applications. These features make the unit ideal for embedded applications, particularly where standard hard drives and floppy disk drives cannot be used. The VMIVME-7750 also supports C by integrating specialized circuitry for these functions.
The VMIVME-7750 supports High Throughput DMA transfers of bytes, words and longwords in both Master and Slave configurations. If Endian conversion is not needed, VMIC offers a special “Bypass” mode that can be used to further enhance throughput (not available for byte transfers).
I2C_SCL The VMIVME-7750 provides termination on the I C signals. The controller can issue interrupts to the VMIVME-7750 when handshaking on the C-bus. When the I C-bus controller drives the interrupt active, software must service and then clear the interrupt. Software can determine the cause of the interrupt by reading the bit of the status register.
The “Device ID” field indicates that the device is for VME products (00) and indicates the supported embedded feature set. The “Vender ID” and “Subsystem Vendor ID” fields indicate VMIC’s PICMG assigned Vender ID (114A). The “Subsystem ID” field indicates the model number of the product (7750).
Timers Timers General The VMIVME-7750 provides four user-programmable timers (two 16-bit and two 32-bit) which are completely dedicated to user applications and are not required for any standard system function. Each timer is clocked by independent generators with selectable rates of 2MHz, 1MHz, 500kHz and 250kHz. Each timer may be independently enabled and each is capable of generating a system interrupt on timeout.
VMIVME-7750 Product Manual Each timer has an independently selectable clock source which is selected by the bit pattern in the “Timer x Clock Select” field as follows: Clock Rate 2MHz 1MHz 500kHz 250kHz Each timer can be independently enabled by writing a “1” to the appropriate “Timer x Enable”...
Timers result, it is not possible to capture the values of all four timers at a given instance in time. However, by setting this bit to “1”, all four timer outputs will be latched only on reads to the Timer 1 & 2 Current Count Register (TMRCCR12). Therefore, to capture the current count of all four timers at the same time, perform a read to the TMRCCR12 first (with a 32-bit read), followed by a read to TMRCCR3 and TMRCCR4.
VMIVME-7750 Product Manual Timer 4 Load Count Register (TMRLCR4) Timer 4 is 32-bits wide and obtains its load count from the Timer 4 Load Count Register (TMRLCR4), located at offset 0x18 from the address in BAR2. The mapping of bits in this register are as follows:...
Timers When this field is read, the current count value is latched and returned. There are two modes that determine how the count is latched depending on the setting of the “Read Latch Select” bit in the WDT Control Status Register (CSR2). See the CSR2 register description for more information on these two modes.
VMIVME-7750 Product Manual Timer 4 IRQ Clear (T4IC) The Timer 4 IRQ Clear (T4IC) register is used to clear an interrupt caused by Timer 4. Writing to this register, located at offset 0x3C from the address in BAR2, causes the interrupt from Timer 4 to be cleared.
Watchdog Timer Watchdog Timer General The VMIVME-7750 provides a programmable Watchdog Timer (WDT) which can be used to reset the system if software integrity fails. WDT Control Status Register (WCSR) The WDT is controlled and monitored by the WDT Control Status Register (WCSR) which is located at offset 0x08 from the address in BAR2.
VMIVME-7750 Product Manual The “WDT Enable” bit is used to enable the Watchdog Timer function. This bit must be set to “1” in order for the Watchdog Timer to function. Note that since all registers default to zero after reset, the Watchdog Timer is always disabled after a reset. The Watchdog Timer must be re-enabled by the application software after reset in order for the Watchdog Timer to continue to operate.
