2.15System 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:

zEight bits per character

zOne stop bit per character

zParity disabled (no parity)

zBaud rate of 9600 baud
