Introduction; Applying Power - Motorola MVME2603-1121A Installation And Use Manual

Introduction

This chapter supplies information for use of the MVME2603/2604
family of Single Board Computers in a system configuration. Here
you will find the power-up procedure and descriptions of the
switches and LEDs, memory maps, and software initialization.

Applying Power

After you have verified that all necessary hardware preparation has
been done, that all connections have been made correctly, and that
the installation is complete, you can power up the system. The
MPU, hardware, and firmware initialization process is performed
by the PowerPCª PPCBug power-up or system reset. The
firmware initializes the devices on the SBC module in preparation
for booting the operating system.
The firmware is shipped from the factory with an appropriate set of
defaults. In most cases there is no need to modify the firmware
configuration before you boot the operating system.
The following flowchart shows the basic initialization process that
takes place during PowerPC system startup.
For further information on PPCBug, refer to Chapter 5, PPCBug; to
Appendix D, Troubleshooting CPU Boards; or to the PPCBug
Firmware Package UserÕs Manual.
