MVME6100

Chapter 3 Programming

MVME6100

The MVME6100 IPMC module PCI arbitration is performed by the MV64360 ASIC. The internal PCI arbiter REQ#/GNT# signals are multiplexed on the MV64360 MPP[31:0] pins. The internal PCI arbiter is disabled by default (the MPP pins function as general purpose inputs). Software will configure the MPP pins to function as request/grant pairs for the internal PCI arbiter.

The IPMC module arbitration pairs for the MVME6100 are assigned to the MPP pins as follows;

MPP pin 8, PCI Bus Grant (PIB device on IPMC module)

MPP pin 9, PCI Bus Request (PIB device on IPMC module)

MPP pin 12, PCI Bus Grant (SCSI device on IPMC module)

MPP pin 13, PCI Bus Request (SCSI device on IPMC module)

Interrupt Assignments

The interrupt architecture for the IPMC712 and IPMC761 is fully compliant with the PowerPlusII Programming Specification for a single processor board configuration.

MVME5100 IPMC Module Interrupt Assignments

Legacy interrupt assignment for the PCI-to-ISA Bridge (PIB) is maintained to ensure software compatibility between MVME5100 and IPMC761 while in IPMC mode. This is accomplished by using the on-board IPMC761 connector to route the PIB’s interrupt to external interrupt 0 of the Hawk’s MPIC.

The MVME5100 Ethernet port 2 is routed to the PIB’s IRQ10 input. The SCSI interrupt on the IPMC761 is also routed to the PIB at IRQ14. The SCSI device is connected to the INTA# pin J11-04 of PMC Slot 1. Interrupts are routed to the Hawk from on-board resources as specified by the module’s programming.

The Hawk interrupt assignments are shown below:
