Two USB 2.0 ports. These ports use standard USB-A connectors and
can operate as either USB 2.0 or USB 1.1 connections.
The XBRD-9060 contains 2 mSATA sockets that allow 2 SSD drives to be added
to the XVME-6700A while still remaining within a single VME slot. Using the
software RAID functionality of the QM87 PCH, these drives can even be setup
as a RAID0/1 array if redundancy or extra speed is desired.
3.16.5 Power Available to Expansion Modules
The power requirements given in Section 6.4 do not include attached
expansion modules. The amount of power available to the expansion sites
depends on what type of backplane/power supply combination is powering it.
In order to maintain the stability and long life of the XVME-6700A, the
combined PMC/XMC module 5V power for both sites should not exceed the
amount listed below for each backplane type:
Backplane Type Available 5V Power to PMC/XMC Sites
5-row with 5V & 3.3V supplied 41.5W
5-row with 5V only supplied 39.0W (2.5W of 3.3V made from 5V)
3-row with 5V only supplied 9.0W (2.5W of 3.3V made from 5V)
3.17 VME Interface
The XVME-6700A connects to the VMEbus through the high-performance
FPGA-based VME Bridge that is fully compliant with all VME64x data
transactions (SBT, BLT, MBLT, 2eVME, and 2eSST) on all common addressing
space modes (A16, A24 and A32). This allows the XVME-6700A to take
advantage of the higher performance VME protocols, but sill co-exist with
VME boards utilizing legacy protocols.
The VME Bridge connects to the QM87 PCH directly via a x4 PCIe Gen 2
connection, allowing maximum throughput to/from the VMEbus. The FPGA-
based VME bridge also features a fully programmable hardware byte swapper
function.
For VMEbus configuration options, see Sections 3.1.3 , 3.1.5 , and 3.1.6 .
Five VME Bridge LEDs are provided for visual indication of the bus status for
quick debugging. The LEDs are described below in Table 3.17.a.
