Introduction
This chapter provides information for use of the MVME1603/1604 family
of Single Board Computers in a system configuration. Here you will find
the power-up procedure and descriptions of 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. When power is
applied, the PPCBug firmware executes various self-tests and then
displays the debugger prompt
If the firmware was previously placed in System mode, it displays the
