Introduction
This manual provides programming information for the
MVME162FX Embedded Controller. Extensive programming
information is provided for the Application-Specific Integrated
Circuit (ASIC) devices used on the board. Reference information is
included for the Large Scale Integration (LSI) devices used on the
board and sources for additional information are provided.
This chapter briefly describes the board level hardware features of
the MVME162FX Embedded Controller. The chapter begins with a
board level overview and features list. Memory maps are next, and
the chapter closes with some general software considerations such
as cache coherency, interrupts, and bus errors.
All programmable registers in the MVME162FX that reside in
ASICs are covered in the chapters on those ASICs. Chapter 2 covers
the VMEchip2, Chapter 3 covers the MC2 chip, and Chapter 4
covers the IP2 chip. Chapter 5 covers certain serial port connections.
Appendix A details using interrupts. For those interested in
programmable register bit definitions and less interested in
hardware functionality, focus on Chapters 2, 3, and 4. In some
cases, however, Chapter 1 gives related background information.
Overview
The MVME162FX is based on the MC68040 or MC68LC040
microprocessor. Various versions of the MVME162FX have 4MB,
8MB, or 16MB of unprotected DRAM, 8KB of SRAM (with battery
backup), time of day clock (with battery backup), Ethernet
transceiver interface, two serial ports with EIA-232-D or EIA-530 or
EIA-485/422 interface, six tick timers, watchdog timer, a PROM
socket, 1MB Flash memory (one Flash device), four IndustryPack
