System Considerations
The CPCI-6020 is designed to operate as a CompactPCI system slot board. As a system slot
board, the CPCI-6020 provides system clocks and arbitration for other peripheral slots in the
subrack. Consequently, the CPCI-6020 must be installed in a subrack system slot marked with
a triangle symbol.
The CPCI-6020 provides seven peripheral slot clock outputs (CLK0-CLK6) per CompactPCI
specification 2.0 R2.1. Arbitration for the seven peripheral slot bus masters is provided by the
CPCI-6020.
On the CPCI-6020 baseboard, the standard serial console port (COM1) serves as the PPCBug
debugger console port. The firmware console should be set up as follows:
z
Eight bits per character
z
One stop bit per character
z
Parity disabled (no parity)
z
Baud rate of 9600 baud
