Software Support
The XVME-6300 is fully PC-compatible and will run "off-the-shelf" PC software, but most packages will not be
able to access the features of the VMEbus. To solve this problem, Xembedded has developed extensive Board
Support Packages (BSPs) that simplify the integration of VMEbus data into PC software applications.
Xembedded’s BSPs provide users with an efficient high-level interface between their applications and the
VMEbus-to-PCI bridge device. Board Support Packages are available for Windows 7® and RedHawk Linux.
XVME-6300 Xembedded Bios Settings
The BIOS System setup Utility allows you to make modifications to the myriad of BIOS options available for the XVME-
6300. In order to enter setup, you press <F2> several times while it is booting up. Included in the System Utility is a
setup page specifically to configure custom Acromag settings. It is called Xembedded and it is the second page in the
BIOS Setup page as shown below.
TSI-148 Memory
The first option of the Acromag menu is to allow a base allocated memory amount for the TSI-148. The default
memory allocated for the TSI-148 is the smallest available option of
1MByte
. This was also the only option in
previous versions of the BIOS and is also therefore selected as the default to maintain compatibility. The other
available sizes are
4MBytes
,
8MBytes
,
16MBytes
,
32MBytes
,
64MBytes
, and
128MBytes
as shown below. Please
note that this will impact the amount of free memory available to the Operating System.
