Introduction

This chapter provides a functional description for the MVME5100 Single Board Computer. The MVME5100 is a high-performance product featuring Motorola’s PowerPlus II architecture with a choice of PowerPC processors—either Motorola’s MPC7410 with AltiVec™ technology for algorithmic intensive computations or the low-power MPC755 or MPC750.

The MVME5100 incorporates a highly optimized PCI interface and memory controller enabling up to 582MB memory read bandwidth and 640MB burst write bandwidth.

The optimization of the memory bus is as important as optimization of the system bus in order to achieve maximum system performance. The MVME5100’s advanced PowerPlus II Architecture supports full PCI throughput of 264MB without starving the CPU of its memory.

Additional features of the MVME5100 include dual Ethernet ports, dual serial ports, and up to 17MB of Flash.
