GFK-2055 1-1 1 Introduction The VMEbus CPU is a complete IBM PC/AT-compatible Celeron processor-based computer with the additional benefits of single Eurocard construction and full compatibility with the VMEbus Specification Rev. C.1. The VMEbus CPU, with advanced VMEbus interface and RAM that is dual-ported to the VMEbus, is ideal for multiprocessor applications. The single CPU board functions as a standard PC/AT, executing a PC/AT-type power-on self-test, then boots up MS-DOS, Windows 95, Windows NT, or any other PC/AT-compatible operating system. The PC/AT mode of the VMEbus CPU is discussed in Chapter 3 of this manual. The VMEbus CPU also operates as a VMEbus controller and interacts with other VMEbus modules via the on-board PCI-to-VMEbus bridge and the Endian conversion hardware. The VMEbus CPU may be accessed as a VMEbus slave board. The VMEbus functions are available by programming the VMEbus CPU’s PCI-to-VMEbus bridge according to the references defined in this volume and/or in the second volume dedicated to the optional PCI-to-VMEbus interface board titled: Tundra Universe II™-Based VMEbus Interface User’s Manual (Document No. GFK-2122). The VMEbus CPU also provides capabilities

T. Chen Absfract- We report for the first time a bidirectional opti- cal backplane bus for a high performance system containing nine multi-chip module (MCM) boards, operating at 632.8 and 1300 nm. The backplane bus reported here employs arrays of multiplexed polymer-based waveguide holograms in conjunction with a waveguiding plate, within which 16 substrate guided waves for 72 (8 x 9) cascaded fanouts, are generated. Data transfer of 1.2 GbUs at 1.3-pm wavelength is demonstrated for a single bus line with 72 cascaded fanouts. Packaging-related issues such as Waveguiding Plate transceiver size and misalignment are embarked upon to provide n a reliable system with a wide bandwidth coverage. Theoretical U hocessor/Memory Board treatment to minimize intensity fluctuations among the nine modules in both directions is further presented and an optimum I High-speed Optoelectronic Transceiver design rule is provided.

  • Vmebus for Software Engineers Introduction
    1 VMEbus for Software Engineers Software and hardware engineers see things differently. So too with their views of VMEbus. Instead of nanoseconds and rise-times and access widths, system programmers want to know how and why to assign memory space, how to use special-purpose VME I/O boards without conflicting with on-board devices, and how to recognize software errors caused by hardware configuration problems. This article, originally published in 1993 (see “Publication History”), presents VMEbus operation and configuration from a software perspective, in terms and views familiar to the software engineer. Foundation – Why It Works That Way Introduction Early Years– Market Pressure and Competition Nuts and Bolts– Dry and Dusty Specifications Serial and Parallel – Watch Out! Roles, Players and Operations Master-Slave Operations– Changing Roles Taking Control– Who’s the Boss? Bus Errors– Five Kinds Interrupts– How Much Overhead? Moving Data – Meat and Potatoes Choices and Consequences Addressing Memory– Who’s On First Letting Go– Can’t Make Me! VME64– Life-Extender or Next Generation? Additional Information – Where To Get It Administrivia Publication History Author Introduction In the design and debugging of complex systems, it is becoming more and more important for software engineers to understand VMEbus. Embedded systems, in particular, make frequent use of this important architecture. Engineers with software skills are increasingly called upon to make full use of its capabilities, and a firm understanding of the standard’s intentions and limitations is essential. 2 This article describes VMEbus as it relates to the software realm. Included are some typical uses as well as historical information that may help put developments and current usage into perspective.

The on-board resources and peripheral controllers eliminate the need for addi- tional modules in the VMEbus backplane thus reducing costs and freeing up valuable bus slots for additional functions. The MVME147 series features an MC68030 enhanced 32-bit microproces- sor. The MC68030 was the first general-purpose microprocessor with on-chip cache memory for both instructions and data which increases the processor’s efficiency by 20 to 40 percent. The MC68030 features a complete memory management unit (MMU) which provides the software protection and virtual memory functions critical to many applications.
