Endian Issues
The MVME5100 series supports both Little and Big-Endian software. Because the PowerPC
processor is inherently big endian, and PCI is inherently Little-Endian, it is easy to misinterpret
the processing scheme. For that reason, provisions have been made to accommodate the
handling of endian issues within the MVME5100.
The section discusses the following topics:
MPC Bus Time Out
Store: Discard write data and terminate bus cycle normally
Load: Present undefined data to the MPC masterGenerate interrupt via
MPIC if so enabled
Generate Machine Check Interrupt to the Processor(s) if so enabled
PCI Target Abort
Store: Discard write data and terminate bus cycle normally
Load: Return all 1s and terminate bus cycle normally
Generate interrupt via MPIC if so enabled
Generate Machine Check Interrupt to the Processor(s) if so enabled
PCI Master Abort
Store: Discard write data and terminate bus cycle normally
Load: Return all 1s and terminate bus cycle normally
Generate interrupt via MPIC if so enabled
Generate Machine Check Interrupt to the Processor(s) if so enabled
PERR# Detected
Generate interrupt via MPIC if so enabled
Generate Machine Check Interrupt to the Processor(s) if so enabled
SERR# Detected
Generate interrupt via MPIC if so enabled
Generate Machine Check Interrupt to the Processor(s) if so enabled
