System Memory

The P2020 integrated memory controller supports both DDR2 and DDR3 memory devices. It
has one channel and can be configured up to four memory banks with x8, x16 and x32 devices.
Selection of 4GB devices allows support up to 16 GB of memory. ECC is also supported.

The MVME2502 design implements 2 banks of 9x8 devices which includes ECC. The standard
configurations populate a single memory bank of 2Gb DDR3-800 for a 2GB capacity. The
MVME2502 is designed to accommodate 4Gb DDR3 devices supporting up to 8 Gb total when
both memory banks are populated with 4Gb devices.

Timers

There are various timer functions implemented on the MVME2502 board:

4.4.1

Real Time Clock

The MVME2502 implements a Maxim DS1337 RTC to maintain seconds, minutes, hours, day,
date, month, year accurately. The INT_A pin of the DS1337 is connected to the CPU GPIO[1]
pin to allow the DS1337 to generate interrupts to the CPU. Access to the DS1337 is provided
via the I2C port 0 from the CPU and responds to a base I2C address of $D0.

The MVME2502 provides a socketed 190mAh primary battery to power the RTC when the
module is out of service.
