INTA# may be used while the other three interrupt lines have no meaning. Figure 2-1 on page 44 depicts the V7768/V7769 interrupt logic pertaining to FPGA timer operations and the PCI expansion site. Any function on a multifunction device can be connected to any of the INTx# lines.
PCI Device The PCI bus-based external devices include the PMC sites, Ethernet controller Interrupt Map and the PCI-to-VME bridge. The default BIOS maps these external devices to the PCI Interrupt Request (PIRQx) lines of the ICH. This mapping is illustrated in Figure 2-1 on page 44 and is defined in Table...
PMC237 FPGA 2.6 Integrated Peripherals The V7768/V7769 incorporate an SMSC Super I/O (SIO) chip. The SIO provides the V7768/V7769 with two 16550 UART-compatible serial ports, keyboard and mouse ports, and general purpose I/O for system functions, available via the VME backplane connectors.
The RJ45 connector is used with the 10Base-T standard. 10Base-T has a maximum length of 100 meters. The V7768/V7769 also support the 100Base-TX Ethernet. A network based on a 100Base-TX 100Base-TX standard uses unshielded twisted-pair cables. 100Base-TX has a maximum length of 100 meters.
2.8 Video Graphics Adapter The SVGA port on the V7768/V7769 is controlled by the Intel 945GM Graphic and Memory Controller Hub (GMCH). The GMCH is hardware and BIOS compatible with the industry SVGA and digital video standards supporting both VESA high- resolution and extended video modes.
Watchdog Timer for synchronizing and controlling multiple events in embedded applications. The V7768 provides a bootable CompactFlash Disk system and 32KByte of non- volatile RAM. Also, the V7768/V7769 support an embedded intelligent VME bridge to allow compatibility with the most demanding VME applications. These features make the unit ideal for embedded applications, particularly where standard hard drives and floppy disk drives cannot be used.
C/SMBus Temperature Sensor The MAX6659MEE can be monitored and controlled on the SMBus at address 0x98 for the V7768/V7769. This will allow the user to monitor and set up the alarm (OVERT2).
