The MVME5100 series utilizes the PowerPlus II Architecture to support full PCI throughput of 264MB/s without starving the processor from its memory. The extended temperature versions of the MVME5100 series offer hardware and software compatible products to enhance the existing MVME5100 product. Versions are available that operate at extended temperature ranges of –20° to 71° C vs. 0° to 55° C for the already existing commercial versions.

The Motorola MVME5100 series is the fl agship of the Motorola PowerPlus II VME Architecture line, enabling supercomputing levels of performance in a single VMEbus slot. Based on an integrated PCI bridge-memory controller ASIC designed by Motorola, PowerPlus II takes memory performance to new levels with 582MB/s memory read bandwidth and 640MB/s burst write bandwidth.

I/O COMPATIBILITY

Historically, Motorola has offered two tracks in its PowerPC Architecture VME portfolio. The fi rst track (which includes the MVME2600/2700) provides typical single-board computer I/O features including Ethernet, SCSI, multiple serial ports, a parallel port and a single PMC slot. The on-board I/O is routed to P2 and made available to the user via Motorola MVME761 or MVME712M transition boards. The second track (which includes the MVME2300/2400) offers limited on-board I/O (Ethernet and a single serial port both via the front panel) but provides dual PMC slots enabling maximum user I/O customization.

The MVME5100 merges the best features of both tracks enabling the OEM to support varying I/O requirements with the same base platform, simplifying part number maintenance, technical expertise requirements and sparing.

P2 I/O MODES

The MVME5100 supports two, jumper-confi gurable P2 I/O modes; PMC and IPMC. PMC mode is backward compatible with the MVME2300/MVME2400. In PMC mode, 64 pins from PMC slot 1 and 46 pins from PMC slot 2 are available onP2 for PMC rear I/O.

In IPMC mode, the MVME5100 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 confi guration, PMC slot 2 contains some signals that are reserved for extended SCSI.

IPMC MODULES

The IPMC761 and IPMC712 are optional add-on PMC modules that provide backward compatibility with previous-generation Motorola products (such asMVME2600 and MVME2700) using the MVME761 orMVME712M transition board. IPMC modules provide rear I/O support for the following:

One single-ended Ultra Wide SCSI port

One parallel port

Four serial ports (2 or 3 async and 1 or 2 sync/async, depending on module)

With this PMC card confi guration, the memory mezzanine, one PMC slot and the PMCspan are still available, providing support for OEM product customization.

TRANSITION MODULES

The MVME761 transition module provides industry-standard 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 confi gured 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-confi gurable as EIA-232, EIA-530, V.35, or X.21 DCE or DTE via the installation of Motorola 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 confi gurable 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 userdefi nable 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.

FIRMWARE MONITOR

Firmware must fulfi ll the traditional functions of test and initialization and provide operating system boot support. The MVME5100 fi rmware monitor exceeds these requirements with a proven monitor from the embedded VME leader. It expands features like power-up tests with extensive diagnostics, as well as a powerful evaluation and debug tool for simple checkout or when high-level development debuggers require additional support. All this is included with the MVME5100 fi rmware; plus it supports booting both operating systems and kernels.

OPERATING SYSTEMS AND KERNELS

MVME5100 supports booting a variety of operating systems, including VxWorks from Wind River Systems, Inc., Integrity from Green Hills, and Linux from a variety of partners.

DIAGNOSTIC SOFTWARE

Motorola Built-In Test (MBIT) is an off-the-shelf software infrastructure designed to verify the correct operation of Motorola hardware and enable the incorporation of system level diagnostics. A comprehensive User Manual with software development guidelines is provided on MBIT’s CD-ROM. Two versions of MBIT are available and are compatible with Wind River Systems Tornado 2.1.

Board-level MBIT is a comprehensive diagnostic software package designed to verify the performance of board mounted logic devices. All tests can execute at boot-up and selected tests can run continuously in the background of user applications. An API is included to provide access to test results and to modify and control the operation of device tests.

System-level MBIT includes all functionality and API function calls of the board level version and enables system-wide testing. System Level MBIT provides a framework and additional API function calls to support the inclusion of software designed to test custom hardware and/or system components
