MVME2500-ECC Installation and Use (6806800N30F) 77
4.7 Front UART Control
The MVME2500-ECC utilizes one of the two UART functions provided in the male micro-mini
DB-9 front panel. A male-to-male micro-mini DB-9 to DB9 adapter cable is available under
Artesyn Part Number SERIAL-MINI-D (30-W2400E01A) and is approximately 12 inches (25 cm)
in length. There is also a a male-to-male micro-DB9 to standard DB9 cross-connected serial
console cable available under Artesyn partnumber ACC/CABLE/SER/DTE/6E and is 2m long.
Only 115200 bps and 9600 bps are supported. The default baud rate on the front panel serial
is 9600 kbps.
4.8 Rear UART Control
The MVME2500-ECC utilizes the Exar ST16C554 quad UART (QUART) to provide four additional
ports to the RTM. These devices feature 16 bytes of transmit and receive first-in first-out (FIFO)
with selectable receive FIFO trigger levels and data rates of up to 1.5 Mbps. Each UART has a set
of registers that provide the user with operating status and control. The QUART are 8-bit
devices connected to the processor through the local bus controller using LBC chipset CS1,
CS2, CS3 and CS4.
These four serial interfaces are routed to P2 I/O for RTM accessibility. There are a total of five
serial ports available on the MVME2500-ECC.
4.9 PMC/XMC Sites
The MVME2500-ECC hosts only one PMC/XMC site and accepts either a PMC or an XMC add-on
card. Only an XMC or a PMC may be populated at any given time as both occupy the same
physical space on the PCB. Combination PMC/XMC cards are not supported by the MVME2500-
ECC. This PMC site also provides a rear PMC I/O.
The PMC site is fully compliant with the following:
1. VITA 39 –PCI-X for PMC
2. VITA 35-2000 for PMC P4 to VME P2 Connection
3. PCI Rev 2.2 for PCI Local Bus Specification.
4. PCI-X PT 2.0 for PCI-X Protocol Addendum to the PCI Local Bus Specs.
