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 3, Falcon ECC Memory Controller
covers the Falcon chip set,
Chapter 4, Universe (VMEbus to PCI)
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.
