Software Support Considerations

Comments:

If the TBL bit is set (address $FFF40048 bit 2) the error occurred during a command table access, otherwise the error occurred during a data access.

DMAC Off-board Error

Description:

Error encountered while the local bus side of the DMAC was attempting to go to the VMEbus.

MPU Notification:

DMAC interrupt (when enabled).

Status:

The DLOB bit is set in the DMAC Status Register (address $FFF40048 bit 4).

Comments:

This is normally caused by a programming error. The local bus address of the DMAC should not be programmed with a local bus address that maps to the VMEbus. If the TBL bit is set (address $FFF40048 bit 2) the error occurred during a command table access, otherwise the error occurred during a data access.

DMAC LTO Error

Description:

A local bus time-out (LTO) occurred while the DMAC was local bus master.

MPU Notification:

DMAC interrupt (when enabled).

Status:

The DLTO bit is set in the DMAC Status Register (address $FFF40048 bit 3).
