About This Manual
MVME167P Single-Board Computer Installation and Use provides
general information, instructions for hardware preparation and installation,
operating instructions, and a functional description for the MVME167P
series of Single Board Computers (referred to as the MVME167P
throughout this manual).
The “Petra” chip that distinguishes MVME167P single-board computers is
an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) used on various Motorola
VME boards which combines a variety of functions previously
implemented in other ASICs (among them the MC2 chip, the IP2 chip, and
the MCECC chip) in a single ASIC. On the MVME167P, the “Petra” chip
replaces the MCECC ASIC. As of the publication date, the information
presented in this manual applies to the following MVME167P models.
This manual is intended for anyone who designs OEM systems, desires to
add capability to an existing compatible system, or works in a lab
environment for experimental purposes. A basic knowledge of computers
and digital logic is assumed. To use this manual, you may also wish to
become familiar with the publications listed in
.
