Board Level Hardware Description

The VMEbus interface is provided by an ASIC called the VMEchip2. The VMEchip2 includes two tick timers, a watchdog timer, programmable map decoders for the master and slave interfaces, and a VMEbus to/from local bus DMA controller, a VMEbus to/from local bus non-DMA programmed access interface, a VMEbus interrupter, a VMEbus system controller, a VMEbus interrupt handler, and a VMEbus requester.

Processor-to-VMEbus transfers can be D8, D16, or D32. VMEchip2 DMA transfers to the VMEbus, however, can be D16, D32, D16/BLT, D32/BLT, or D64/MBLT.

The MCchip ASIC provides four tick timers, the interface to the LAN chip, SCSI chip, serial port chip, BBRAM, and the programmable interface for the parity-protected DRAM and/or SRAM mezzanine board.

The IndustryPack Interface Controller (IPIC) ASIC provides control and status information for up to four single size IndustryPacks (IPs) or up to two double size IPs that can be plugged into the MVME162 main module.

Related Documentation

The MVME162 does not ship with all of the documentation that is available for the product. The MVME162 instead ships with a start-up installation guide (the document you are presently reading) that includes all the information necessary to begin working with these products: installation instructions, jumper configuration information, memory maps, debugger/monitor commands, and any other information needed for start-up of the board. The installation guide is MVME162IG/D for the MVME162.

The following publications are applicable to the MVME162 and may provide additional helpful information. They may be purchased by contacting your local Motorola sales office. Non-Motorola documents may be purchased from the sources listed.
