Figure 1-2
shows the location of switches, jumpers, connectors, and LED
indicators on the MCP750. Manually configured items on the base board
include:
❏
Flash bank selection (J6)
For additional information on the configured items of the transition
module, refer to the sections entitled
TMCP700 Transition Module
Preparation
in this chapter or to the respective user’s manuals for the
transition modules (listed in
Appendix B, Related Documentation
).
The MCP750 is factory tested and shipped with the configurations
described in the following sections. The board’s factory-installed debug
monitor and PPCBug operates properly with these factory settings.
Flash Bank Selection (J6)
The MCP750 has provisions for 1MB of 16-bit Flash memory. The
RAM300 memory mezzanine accommodates 4MB or 8MB of additional
64-bit Flash memory.
The flash memory is organized in either one or two banks, with each bank
being either 16 or 64 bits wide. Bank B contains the onboard debugger and
PPCBug.
To enable Flash bank A (4MB or 8MB memory on the RAM300
mezzanine), install a jumper on header J6 across pins 1 and 2. To enable
Flash bank B (1MB memory on the base board), install a jumper on header
J6 across pins 2 and 3.
