Debugger General Information

3.Refer to the set-up procedure for your particular chassis or system for details concerning the installation of the MVME166.

4.Connect the terminal which is to be used as the 166Bug system console to

3the default debug EIA-232-D port at serial port 1 on front panel I/O connector J9 through an MVME712-10 or MVME712-06 transition module. Refer to the MVME166/MVME167/MVME187 Single Board Computers Programmer’s Reference Guide for some possible connection diagrams. Set up the terminal as follows:

–eight bits per character

–one stop bit per character

–parity disabled (no parity)

–baud rate 9600 baud (default baud rate of MVME166 ports at power- up)

After power-up, the baud rate of the debug port can be reconfigured by using the Port Format (PF) command of the 166Bug debugger.

 

 

 

In order for high-baud rate serial communication between

N

 

 

ote

 

 

166Bug and the terminal to work, the terminal must do some

 

 

 

 

 

 

form of handshaking. If the terminal being used does not

 

 

 

do hardware handshaking via the CTS line, then it must do

 

 

 

XON/XOFF handshaking. If you get garbled messages and

 

 

 

missing characters, then you should check the terminal to

 

 

 

make sure XON/XOFF handshaking is enabled.

5.If you want to connect devices (such as a host computer system and/or a serial printer) to the other EIA-232-D port connectors (marked SERIAL PORTS 2, 3, and 4 on the MVME712-10 or MVME712-06 transition module), connect the appropriate cables and configure the port(s) as detailed in step 4. above. After power-up, this(these) port(s) can be reconfigured by programming the MVME166 CD2401 Serial Controller Chip (SCC), or by using the 166Bug PF command.

Note that the MVME166 also contains a parallel port. To use a parallel device, such as a printer, with the MVME166, connect it to the PRINTER/PARALLEL port on an MVME712-10 or MVME712-07 transition module. Refer to the MVME166/MVME167/MVME187 Single Board Computers Programmer’s Reference Guide for some possible connection diagrams. However, you could also use a module such as the MVME335 for a parallel port connection.
