GCSR Programming Model

This section describes the programming model for the Global Control and Status Registers (GCSR) in the VMEchip2. The local bus map decoder for the GCSR registers is included in the VMEchip2. The local bus base address for the GCSR is $FFF40100. The registers in the GCSR are 16 bits wide and they are byte accessible from both the VMEbus and the local bus. The GCSR is located in the 16-bit VMEbus short I/O space and it responds to address modifier codes $29 or $2D. The address of the GCSR as viewed from the VMEbus depends upon the GCSR group select value XX and GCSR board select value Y programmed in the LCSR. The board value Y may be $0 through $E, allowing 15 boards in one group. The value $F is reserved for the location monitors.

The VMEchip2 includes four location monitors (LM0-LM3). The location monitors provide a broadcast signaling capability on the VMEbus. When a location monitor address is generated on the VMEbus, all location monitors in the group are cleared. The signal interrupts SIG0-SIG3 should be used to signal individual boards. The location monitors are located in the VMEbus short I/O space and the specific address is determined by the VMEchip2 group address. The location monitors LM0-LM3 are located at addresses $XXF1, $XXF3, $XXF5, and $XXF7 respectively. A location monitor cycle on the VMEbus is generated by a read or write to VMEbus short I/O address $XXFN, where XX is the group address and N is the specific location monitor address. When the VMEchip2 generates a location monitor cycle to the VMEbus, within its own group, the VMEchip2 DTACKs itself. A VMEchip2 cannot DTACK location monitor cycles to other groups.

The GCSR section of the VMEchip2 contains the following registers: a Chip ID register, a Chip Revision register, a Location Monitor Status register, an Interrupt Control register, a Board Control register, and six General Purpose registers.

The Chip ID and Revision registers are provided to allow software to determine the ID of the chip and its revision level. The VMEchip2 has a chip ID of ten. ID codes 0 and 1 are used by the old VMEchip. The initial revision of the VMEchip2 is 0. If mask changes are required, the revision level is incremented.
