Hardware Preparation and Installation Unpacking Guidelines Unpack the equipment from the shipping carton. Refer to the packing list and verify that all items are present. Save the packing material for storing and reshipping of equipment. Note If the shipping carton is damaged upon receipt, request that the carrier’s agent be present during the unpacking and inspection of the equipment.
To produce the desired configuration and ensure proper operation of the MVME6100, you may need to carry out certain hardware modifications before installing the module. Most options on the MVME6100 are software configurable. Configuration changes are made by setting bits in control registers after the board is installed in a system.

MOTLoad Firmware has is 32MB. Each supported Motorola product line has its own unique MOTLoad binary image(s). Currently the largest MOTLoad compressed image is less than 1MB in size. MOTLoad Commands MOTLoad supports two types of commands (applications): utilities and tests.
Page 36
MOTLoad Tests All MOTLoad tests are designed to validate functionality with minimum user interaction. Once launched, most MOTLoad tests operate automatically without any user interaction. There are a few tests where the functionality being validated requires user interaction (that is, switch tests, interactive plug-in hardware modules, etc.).
MOTLoad then performs the specified action. An example of a MOTLoad command line prompt is shown below. The MOTLoad prompt changes according to what product it is used on (for example, MVME5500, MVME6100). Example: MVME6100>...

For further details on CR/CSR space, please refer to the VME64 Specification, listed in Appendix C, Related Documentation. The MVME6100 uses a Discovery II for its VME bridge. The offsets of the mailboxes in the Discovery II are defined in the Discovery II User Manual, http://www.motorola.com/computer/literature 3-19...
The MVME6100’s IBCA needs to be mapped appropriately through the master’s VMEbus bridge. For example, to use remote start using mailbox 0 on an MVME6100 installed in slot 5, the master would need a mapping to support reads and writes of address 0x002ff348 in VME CR/CSR space (0x280000 + 0x7f348).

ASpecifications Power Requirements In its standard configuration, the MVME6100 requires +5V, +12V, and –12V for operation. On-board converters supply the processor core voltage, +3.3V, +1.8V, and +2.5V. Supply Current Requirements Table A-1 provides an estimate of the typical and maximum current required from each of the input supply voltages.
Specifications Environmental Specifications Table A-2 lists the environmental specifications, along with the board dimensions. Table A-2. MVME6100 Specifications Characteristics Specifications Operating Temperature 0° to +55° C or 32° to 131° F (forced air cooling required) 400 LFM (linear feet per minute) of forced air cooling is recommended for operation in the upper temperature range.
BThermal Validation Board component temperatures are affected by ambient temperature, air flow, board electrical operation, and software operation. In order to evaluate the thermal performance of a circuit board assembly, it is necessary to test the board under actual operating conditions. These operating conditions vary depending on system design.
Thermal Validation refers to the temperature at the top, center surface of the component. Air temperature refers to the ambient temperature near the component. Table B-1. Thermally Significant Components Max. Allowable Component Reference Temperature Measurement Designator Generic Description (deg. C) Location U3-U11, DDR SDRAM...
Component Temperature Measurement Component Temperature Measurement The following sections outline general temperature measurement methods. For the specific types of measurements required for thermal evaluation of this board, see Table B-1. Preparation We recommend 40 AWG (American wire gauge) thermocouples for all thermal measurements.
Page 112
Thermal Validation Note Machining a heatsink base reduces the contact area between the heatsink and the electrical component. You can partially compensate for this effect by filling the machined areas with thermal grease. The grease should not contact the thermocouple junction.
