Base Board Hardware Setup 5
BASE BOARD HARDWARE SETUP
On the PMAC2-PC/104 base board, you will see many jumpers (pairs of metal prongs), called E-points or
W-points. Some have been shorted together; others have been left open. These jumpers customize the
hardware features of the base board for a given application and must be setup appropriately. The
following is an overview of the several jumpers grouped in appropriate categories. For a complete
description of the jumper setup configuration please refer to the “PMAC2A-PC/104 E-POINT
DESCRIPTIONS” chapter.
Clock configuration jumpers
E1: Servo & Phase Clock Direction Control – Jumper E1 should be OFF if the board is to use its own
internally generated phase and servo clock signals. In this case, these signals are output on spare pins on
the J8 RS-232 serial-port connector, where they can be used by other PMAC controllers set up to take
external phase and servo clock signals.
Jumper E1 should be ON if the board is to use externally generated phase and servo clock signals brought
in on the J8 RS-232 serial port connector. In this case, the clock signals are typically generated by
another PMAC controller, and output on its serial port connector.
If E1 is ON for external phase and clock signals, and these clock signals are not brought in on the serial
port connector, the watchdog timer will trip almost immediately and shut down the board.
E2 and E4: CPU Frequency Control Jumpers – When the PMAC I46 I- variable is set to zero jumpers
E2 and E4 on the base PMAC2A-PC/104 board control the frequency at which the CPU will operate (or
attempt to operate). Generally this will be the highest frequency at which the CPU is rated to operate.
Note that it is always possible to operate a CPU at a frequency lower than its maximum rating. While it
may be possible to operate an individual processor at a frequency higher than its maximum rating,
particularly at low ambient temperatures, performance cannot be guaranteed at such a setting, and this
operation is done completely at the user’s own risk.
•
If jumpers E2 and E4 are both OFF, the CPU will operate at a 40 MHz frequency.
•
If E2 is ON and E4 is OFF, the CPU will operate at a 60 MHz frequency.
•
If E2 is OFF and E4 is ON, the CPU will operate at an 80 MHz frequency.
If I46 is set to a value greater than 0, the operational frequency is set to 10MHz * (I46 + 1), regardless of
the jumper setting. See the
Software Setup section for details on this.
E8: phase clock lines output enable – Jump pin 1 to 2 to enable the PHASE clock line on the J8
connector. Remove jumper to disconnect the PHASE clock line on the J8 connector.
E9: servo clock lines output enable – Jump pin 1 to 2 to enable the SERVO clock line on the J8
connector. Remove jumper to disconnect the SERVO clock line on the J8 connector.
Board Reset Jumpers
E0: Forced Reset Control – Remove E0 for normal operation. Installing E0 forces PMAC to a reset
state, and this configuration is for factory use only; the board will not operate with E0 installed.
E3: Re-Initialization on Reset Control – If E3 is OFF (default), PMAC executes a normal reset, loading
active memory from the last saved configuration in non-volatile flash memory. If E3 is ON, PMAC re-
initializes on reset, loading active memory with the factory default values.
E13: Firmware Load Jumper – If jumper E13 is ON during power-up/reset, the board comes up in
“bootstrap mode”, which permits the loading of new firmware into the flash-memory IC on the board.
When the PMAC Executive program tries to establish communications with a board in this mode, it will
automatically detect that the board is in bootstrap mode and ask you what file you want to download as
the new firmware.
Jumper E13 must be OFF during power-up/reset for the board to come up in normal “operational mode”.
