Motorola-MVME5500-VMEbus Single-Board Computer

Motorola-MVME5500-VMEbus Single-Board Computer

The MVME5500 utilizes the MPC7457 processor running at 1 GHz, which is ideal for  data intensive applications. The MVME5500 provides more than just better processor  performance; it also provides balanced performance from the processor, memory,  dual independent local buses and I/O subsystems.  The powerful Marvell system controller, with support for a 133 MHz host bus and  a 133 MHz SDRAM memory bus, is well matched to the high speed processor. To  match the system I/O to the outstanding processor performance, the MVME5500  provides dual 64-bit, 33/66 MHz PCI buses. Each PCI bus has a PMC site supporting  cards running at 33 or 66 MHz. The Universe II VME interface and PMCspan connector are isolated from the PMC sites on a dedicated 33 MHz PCI bus segment so that  both PMC sites are capable of 66 MHz operation.  The MVME5500 also offers a Gigabit Ethernet interface, a 10/100BaseTX Ethernet  interface and two serial ports. All of this adds up to a set of well-balanced,  high-performance subsystems for unparalleled performance.

The MVME5500 continues the direction that Emerson  started with the MVME5100 series of providing a  migration path from Emerson’s embedded controllers  and single-board computers (SBCs) to a single  platform. This migration path enables OEMs to  support varying I/O requirements with the same base  platform, simplifying part number maintenance,  technical expertise requirements and sparing. The MVME5500 series offers customers a migration  path from the MVME2300. MVME2400. MVME2600.  MVME2700 and MVME5100 boards to allow them to  take advantage of features such as the MPC7455  processor, Gigabit Ethernet and dual independent  33/66 MHz PMC sites. IPMC Modules The IPMC761 and IPMC712 are optional add-on PMC  modules that provide backward compatibility with  previous generation Emerson products (such as  MVME2600. MVME2700 and MVME5100 in IPMC mode)  using the MVME761 or MVME712M transition module.  IPMC modules provide rear I/O support for the following

P2 I/O Modes The MVME5500 series supports two, jumper-configurable  P2 I/O modes: PMC mode and IPMC mode. PMC mode  is backward compatible with the MVME2300/ MVME2400 and MVME5100 in PMC mode. In PMC  mode, 64 pins from PMC slot 1 and 46 pins from PMC  slot 2 are available on P2 for PMC rear I/O. In IPMC  mode, the MVME5500 series supports legacy  MVME761 or MVME712M I/O modules (with limited  PMC I/O) when an IPMC761 or IPMC712 PMC card is  populated in PMC slot 1. In this configuration, PMC  slot 2 contains some signals that are reserved for  extended SCSI.

Transition Modules The MVME761 transition module provides industrystandard connector access to the IEEE 1284 parallel  port, a 10BaseT or 100BaseT port via an RJ-45  connector, two DB-9 connectors providing access to  the asynchronous serial ports configured as EIA-574  DTE and two HD-26 connectors providing access to  the sync/async serial ports. These serial ports, labeled  as Serial 3 and Serial 4 on the faceplate of the MVME761.  are individually user-configurable as EIA-232. DCE or  DTE via the installation of Emerson Serial Interface  Modules (SIMs). A P2 adapter board provides interface  signals to the MVME761 transition module. Two  separate P2 adapter boards are available: one for 3-row  backplanes and one for 5-row backplanes. The 3-row  P2 adapter board provides connection for 8-bit SCSI.  A 5-row P2 adapter board supports 16-bit SCSI and  PMC I/O. The MVME712M transition module provides  industry-standard connector access to the Centronics  parallel port, a narrow SCSI port, and four DB-25  connectors providing access to the asynchronous/ synchronous serial ports jumper configurable as  EIA-232 DCE or DTE. A P2 adapter board provides  interface signals to the MVME712M transition  module. The 3-row P2 adapter board also provides  connection for 8-bit SCSI. To gain access to the  additional user-definable I/O pins provided via the 5-row  VME64 extension connector, a special P2 adapter  board is available. This adapter panel replaces the  traditional 3-row P2 adapter board and extends its  capability by providing access to the PMC I/O pins. Software Support Firmware Monitor Firmware must fulfill the traditional functions of  power-on self-test (POST), initialization, low-level  setup and debug, and operating system booting.  Emerson’s innovative firmware (known as MOTLoad)  that is resident on the MVME5500 exceeds these  requirements with expanded features such as  interrupt driven I/O, more comprehensive power-up  tests and extensive diagnostics with new scripting  capability. And of course, MOTLoad provides a  debugger interface similar to the time proven “bug”  interface on previous VMEbus boards from Emerson. Operating Systems and Kernels WindRiver Systems VxWorks, TimeSys Linux, Green  Hills Software INTEGRITY and LynuxWorks LynxOS are  available for the MVME5500.
