Introduction

This manual provides programming information for MVME2300 and MVME2300SC VME processor modules. Extensive programming information is provided for several Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) devices used on the boards. Reference information is included in Appendix A for the Large Scale Integration (LSI) devices used on the boards and sources for additional information are listed.

This chapter briefly describes the board level hardware features of the MVME2300-series VME processor modules. The chapter begins with a board level overview and features list. Memory maps are next, and are the major feature of this chapter.

Programmable registers that reside in ASICs in the MVME2300 series are covered in the chapters on those ASICs. Chapter 2, Raven PCI Bridge ASIC covers the Raven chip, Chapter 3, Falcon ECC Memory Controller Chip Set covers the Falcon chip set, Chapter 4, Universe (VMEbus to PCI) Chip covers the Universe chip, and Chapter 5, Programming Details covers certain programming features, such as interrupts and exceptions. Appendix A, Related Documentation lists all related documentation.

Overview

The MVME2300-series VME Processor Module family, hereafter sometimes referred to simply as the MVME230x or the MVME2300 series, provides many standard features required by a computer system: Ethernet interface, async serial port, boot Flash, and up to 128MB of ECC DRAM.
