Memory Map Example
In the following paragraphs the addresses given are based on the Motorola
167. This high performance Single Board Computer (SBC) has a 68040,
serial and parallel I/O, memory, SCSI, and Ethernet. Its specifications are
similar to SBCs made by Themis, Force, and Heurikon.
The Motorola 142/167/187/188/197 memory maps are programmed in the
debugger (using the ENV command) for A24, A32, D16, and D32
functions. Contact Peritek for more information. The CPU's have an
undocumented register which responds at offset 10 in A16 space, so
Peritek boards cannot use the bottom of A16 space. Also, the 167/187 may
be configured by operating system software to support only A16/D16
transfers. The Peritek device driver writes the correct value in VMEchip2.
The graphics board CSR block and 1 KB Line Buffer both reside in A16
space. The CSR block base address is controlled by 4 jumpers (see Section
II.4.1), which give 16 possible address offsets within the A16 space.
Normally, the offset is C000, giving a MVME CPU address of FFFFC000
for the CSR block. Now, the Line Buffer has an address offset determined
by a programmable register in the CSR block. These bits correspond to
address lines 10-15 for A16 and lines 10-23 for A24. On the MVME
CPU's, Peritek uses is 8000, giving a CPU address of FFFF8000 for A16.
The graphics board also can respond to a 64 MB window in A32 space,
giving access to the entire on-board memory. In this case, a programmable
register in the CSR block allows you program the address of that window.
The 6 bits in this register correspond to the high 6 bits of the A32 address.
In the MVME CPU, A32 space extends up to MVME CPU address
F0000000. Normally, we place the board at A0000000.
It is important to remember that the addresses which the graphics board
responds to are a function of the VMEbus address and the address
modifier codes. The address modifier codes must be asserted such that the
board's CSR group and Line Buffer spaces are in A16 space and the
extended memory block appears in A32 space. Not surprisingly, the
address modifier codes are set up by the CPU board's bus controller.
The graphics board responds to D8, D16 and D32 accesses in A16 space
and D8, D16, and D32 accesses in A32 space. However, bytes 0 and 1
(bits 16-31) are undefined for D32 accesses to the CSR block. Byte (D8)
writes to the CSR block have no effect; only D16 and D32 writes will
change these registers. Byte reads, however, do return the correct data.
