Programming Interfaces

The following sections describe the programming interface to devices on the MVME167P and MVME177P single-board computers. Unless the section specifies a particular board type, the discussion applies to both models.

MC680X0 MPU

The MVME167P is based on the MC68040 microprocessor. The MVME177P is based on the MC68060 microprocessor. Both processors have on-chip instruction and data caches and a floating-point processor (refer to the MC68040 and MC68060 user’s manuals for more information).

Both models are available in various versions with the features listed in

Table 1-1 on page 1-3.

Data Bus Structure

The local bus for all single-board computers described in this manual is a 32-bit synchronous bus, which is based on an MC68040-compatible bus and which supports burst transfers. Throughout this manual this bus is referred to as the Local Bus. The various Local Bus master and slave devices use the Local Bus to communicate. The Local Bus is arbitrated by priority type arbiter. The priority of the Local Bus masters from highest to lowest is:

Highest priority

82596CA LAN

CD2401 serial (through the PCCchip2)

53C710 SCSI

VMEbus

Lowest priority

MPU
