    These transactions occur across the VMEbus in the case of the MVME4100ET. MOTLoad uses one of four mailboxes in the Tsi148 VME controller as the inter-board communication address (IBCA) between the host and the target.

  • Page 114: Boot Images

    The MVME4100ET’s IBCA needs to be mapped appropriately through the master’s VMEbus bridge. For example, to use remote start using mailbox 0 on an MVME4100ET installed in slot 5, the master would need a mapping to support reads and writes of address 0x002ff610 in VME CR/CSR space (0x280000 + 0x7f610).

  • Page 116: Image Flags

    MOTLoad currently uses an Image Flag value of 0x3, which identifies itself as an alternate MOTLoad image that executes from RAM. MOTLoad currently does not support execution from flash. MVME4100ET Single Board Computer Installation and Use (6806800K76G)

  • Page 117: User Images

    The boot loader performs no other initialization of the board than that specified prior to the transfer of control to either a POST, USER, or Alternate MOTLoad image. Alternate boot images need to initialize the board to whatever state the image may further require for its execution. MVME4100ET Single Board Computer Installation and Use (6806800K76G)

  • Page 118: Alternate Boot Images And Safe Start

    Some later versions of MOTLoad support alternate boot images and a safe start recovery procedure. If safe start is available on the MVME4100ET, alternate boot images are supported. With alternate boot image support, the boot loader code in the boot block examines the upper 8 MB of the flash bank for alternate boot images.
