Description
The MVME6100 is a single-slot, single-board computer based on the
MPC7457 processor, the MV64360 system controller, the Tsi148 VME
Bridge ASIC, up to 1 GB of ECC-protected DDR DRAM, up to 128MB of
flash memory, and a dual Gigabit Ethernet interface.
Front panel connectors on the MVME6100 board include: two RJ-45
connectors for the Gigabit Ethernet, one RJ-45 connector for the
asynchronous serial port with integrated LEDs for BRDFAIL and CPU run
indication, and a combined reset and abort switch.
The MVME6100 is shipped with one additional asynchronous serial port
routed to an on-board header.
The MVME6100 contains two IEEE1386.1 PCI, PCI-X capable
mezzanine card slots. The PMC slots are 64-bit capable and support both
front and rear I/O. All I/O pins of PMC slot 1 and 46 I/O pins of PMC slot
2 are routed to the 5-row DIN, P2 connector. I/O pins 1 through 64 from
J14 of PMC slot 1 are routed to row C and row A of P2. I/O pins 1 through
46 from J24 of PMC slot 2 are routed to row D and row Z of P2.
The MVME6100 has two planar PCI buses (PCI0 and PCI1). In order to
support a more generic PCI bus hierarchy nomenclature, the MV64360
PCI buses will be referred to in this document as PCI bus 0 (root bridge
instance 0, bus 0) and PCI bus 1 (root bridge instance 1, bus 0). PCI bus 1
connects to PMC slots 1 and 2 of the board. PCI bus 0 connects to the
Tsi148 VME Bridge ASIC and PMCspan bridge (PCI6520). This interface
