STEbus Support [NOT SBC VARIANTS]
The TARGET386EX is compliant with the STEbus IEEE1000
specification. General Control Register 1 bits 0 and 1 define whether
the board is an STEbus default master, potential master or slave. It
can perform memory and I/O reads and writes as a default master
or potential master requesting the bus on BUSRQ0* or BUSRQ1*. As
an STEbus slave the board appears as a 16KB or 32KB (see LK4 and
LK5) window in the STEbus 1MB memory space at a base address
set by LK7. The top 4KB block of the DPR window is designated as
a mailbox area. Any writes to this area will generate a mailbox
interrupt to the CPU on board (if enabled by LK14 position A). Write
accesses to the mailbox area also clear the interrupt out from the
board if it is asserted. The on-board base address of the DPR area as
seen by the CPU is defined by chip select CS1 (see Memory Map).
PC/104 Support
The TARGET386EX is compliant with version 2.3 of the PC/104
specification. It supports memory and I/O reads and writes to as a
sole master to 8 and 16 bit PC/104 peripheral boards. It does not
support DMA or other PC/104 masters in the same module stack.
Battery Back-up
The TARGET386EX supports battery backup of its main system
SRAM via the +VSTBY line on the STEbus or via pin 1 of the power
connector PL2 on the SBC variant.
On STEbus variants a +5V source should be connected between
+VSTBY (+ve terminal) and GND (-ve terminal) on the STEbus
backplane.
On SBC variants a +5V source should be connected between pin 1
(+ve terminal) and pin 6 (-ve terminal) of PL2.
Battery backup current is approximately 140uA.
Utility Files
The TARGET386EX Utility consists of three files:
The source and assembled code for the monitor software and a
utility called BIN2HEX which converts the binary files to Intel Hex
format to enable them to be downloaded using the on-board
monitor. The operating manual for the monitor software is shipped
with the board.
The Next Step
The monitor software installed allows the user to become familiar
with the boards basic features. Arcom supplies a number of options
to aid the user in developing application code to fully utilise the
TARGET386EXs facilities.
