operates at PCI-X (133 MHz) speed. Both PCI planar buses are controlled
by the MV64360 system controller.
Voltage Input/Output (VIO) for PCI bus 1 is set by the location of the PMC
keying pins; both pins should be set to designate the same VIO, either
+3.3V or +5V.
The MVME6100 board interfaces to the VMEbus via the P1 and P2
connectors, which use 5-row 160-pin connectors as specified in the
VME64 Extension Standard. It also draws +12V and +5V power from the
VMEbus backplane through these two connectors. The +3.3V, +2.5V,
+1.8V, and processor core supplies are regulated on-board from the +5V
power.
Note
For maximum VMEbus performance, the MVME6100 should be
mounted in a VME64x compatible backplane (5-row). 2eSST
transfers are not supported when a 3-row backplane is used.
The MVME6100 supports multiple modes of I/O operation. By default, the
board is configured for Ethernet port 2 to the front panel (non-specific
transition module), and PMC slot 1 in IPMC mode. The board can be
configured to route Ethernet port 2 to P2 and support MVME712M or
MVME761 transition modules. The front/rear Ethernet and transition
module options are configured by jumper block J30.
Selection of PMC slot 1 in PMC or IPMC mode is done by the jumper
blocks J10, J15-J18, and J25-J28 (see
Table 1-2 on page 1-6
). IPMC mode
is selected when an IPMC712 or IPMC761 module is used. If an IPMC is
used, J30 should be configured for the appropriate transition module (see
J30 configuration options as illustrated in
Front/Rear Ethernet and
Transition Module Options Header (J30)
on page 1-9
).
The IPMC712 and IPMC761 use AD11 as the IDSEL line for the Winbond
PCI-ISA bridge device. This device supplies the four serial and one
parallel port of the IPMC7xx module. The Discovery II PHB (MV64360)
does not recognize address lines below AD16. For this reason, although an
IPMC7xx module may be used on an MVME6100, the serial and parallel
ports are not available, nor addressable. This issue will be resolved by
MCG at a later date.
