About This Manual
MVME172P4 VME Embedded Controller Installation and Use provides
instructions for hardware preparation and installation; a board-level
hardware overview; and firmware-related general information and startup
instructions for the MVME172P-644 series of embedded controllers,
known collectively as the ''MVME172P4'' because they are equipped
with the "Petra" chip and accommodate up to four IP modules.
The "Petra" chip that distinguishes MVME172P4 embedded controllers is
an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) which combines the
functions previously covered by the MC2 chip, the IP2 chip, and the
MCECC chip in a single ASIC. As of the publication date, the information
presented in this manual applies to the following MVME172P4 models:
Model Number
MVME172P-644L
MVME172P-644LE
MVME172P-644LSE
If the part number of your board includes a "PA" (for example:
MVME172PA-644L), your board is equipped with a second-generation
Petra ASIC. All other particulars of the board remain the same.
This manual is intended for anyone who designs OEM systems, adds
capability to an existing compatible system, or works in a lab environment
for experimental purposes. A basic knowledge of computers and digital
logic is assumed. To use this manual, you may also wish to become
familiar with the publications listed in the Related Documentation section
in Appendix E.
