information.
PCI Host Bridge
The Raven ASIC provides the bridge function between the MPC604
processor bus and the PCI Local Bus. It provides 32-bit addressing and 64-
bit data. 64-bit addressing (dual address cycle) is not supported. The Raven
supports various PowerPC processor external bus frequencies up to
66MHz and PCI frequencies up to 33MHz.
There are four programmable map decoders for each direction to provide
flexible address mappings between the MPC and the PCI Local Bus. Refer
to the MVME2300 Series VME Processor Module Programmer's
Reference Guide for additional information and programming details.
Interrupt Controller (MPIC)
The Raven ASIC provides an MPIC Interrupt Controller to handle various
interrupt sources. The interrupt sources are:
Programmable Timers
Among the resources available to the local processor are a number of
programmable timers. Timers are incorporated into the PCI/ISA Bridge
(PIB) controller and the Raven device (diagrammed in
can be programmed to generate periodic interrupts to the processor.
