Universe (VMEbus to PCI) Chip

Following specific rules of DMAFIFO operation (refer to FIFO Operation and Bus Ownership in the Universe User Manual), it then acquires the destination bus and writes data from its DMAFIFO.

The DMA controller can be programmed to perform multiple blocks of transfers using entries in a linked list. The DMA will work through the transfers in the linked-list following pointers at the end of each linked-list entry. Linked-list operation is initiated through a pointer in an internal Universe register, but the linked list itself resides in PCI bus memory.

Universe Control and Status Registers (UCSR)

The Universe Control and Status Registers (UCSR) facilitate host system configuration and allow the user to control Universe operational characteristics. The UCSR set is divided into three groups:

PCI Configuration Space (PCICS)

VMEbus Control and Status Registers (VCSR)

Universe Device-Specific Status Registers (UDSR) The Universe registers are little-endian.
