Universe (VMEbus to PCI) Chip

"Following are the most recently discovered bugs which will be addressed in Universe 1.1.

1. LSIO image

Description: After a PCI reset, the LSIO image is still enabled, but the base, bound, and translation offset changes value.

Workaround: None."

Motorola Firmware Engineering has implemented Method 1 in its firmware workaround in PPCBug debugger release 3.1.

Note As mentioned at the start of this section, the preceding notes describing this Universe chip PCI reset problem are meant to assist those customers who replace the MCG firmware with their own, or who overwrite the firmware settings for the Universe chip. Customers who do that may encounter this problem.

Those who leave Motorola’s PPCBug firmware intact should not experience any difficulties.

Examples

In this section you will find some representative solutions implemented as workarounds for the Universe PCI reset problem described above.

Example 1: MVME2600 Series Board Exhibits PCI Reset Problem

Use an MVME2600 series board to exhibit the problem.

Conditions:

The board is an MVME260x running PPCOF2.0 Ir05. All the Universe code which initializes the Universe has been disabled (the driver code, not the PCI code). The Probe list has been modified to d,c,e,f,10. The env parameters are set such that an LSI0 image will be enabled.

Procedure:
