PMC I/O Voltage Configuration
The onboard PMC sites may be configured to support 3.3V or 5.0V I/O PMC modules. To
support 3.3V or 5.0V I/O PMC modules, both PMC I/O keying pins must be installed in the
holes. If both keying pins are not in the same location or if the keying pins are not installed, the
PMC sites will not function. Note that setting the PMC I/O voltage to 5.0V forces the PMC sites
to operate in PCI mode instead of PCI-X mode. The default factory configuration is for 3.3V
PMC I/O voltage.

1.4.5

RTM SEEPROM Address Switch (S1)

Switches and Indicators
The MVME3100 board provides a single push button switch that provides both abort and reset
(ABT/RST) functions. When the switch is pressed for less than five seconds, an abort interrupt
is generated to the processor. If the switch is held for more than five seconds, a board hard reset
is generated. The board hard reset will reset the MPC8540, local PCI/PCI-X buses, Ethernet
PHYs, serial ports, Flash devices, and PLD(s). If the MVME3100 is configured as the VME system
controller, the VME bus and local TSi148 reset input are also reset.
The MVME3100 has four front-panel indicators. The following table describes these indicators:

MOTLoad Firmware

3.1

Overview
The MOTLoad firmware package serves as a board power-up and initialization package, as well
as a vehicle from which user applications can be booted. A secondary function of the MOTLoad
firmware is to serve in some respects as a test suite providing individual tests for certain
devices. This chapter includes a list of standard MOTLoad commands, the default VME and
firmware settings that are changeable by the user, remote start, and the alternate boot
procedure.
MOTLoad is controlled through an easy-to-use, UNIX-like, command line interface. The
MOTLoad software package is similar to many end-user applications designed for the
embedded market, such as the real time operating systems currently available.
Refer to the MOTLoad Firmware Package User’s Manual, listed in Appendix B, Related
Documentation, for more details.

3.2

Implementation and Memory Requirements
The implementation of MOTLoad and its memory requirements are product specific. The
MVME3100 Single Board Computer (SBC) is offered with a wide range of memory (for
example, DRAM, external cache, flash). Typically, the smallest amount of on-board DRAM that
an Emerson SBC has is 32 MB. Each supported product line has its own unique MOTLoad binary
image(s). Currently the largest MOTLoad compressed image is less than 1 MB in size.

3.3

MOTLoad Commands
MOTLoad supports two types of commands (applications): utilities and tests. Both types of
commands are invoked from the MOTLoad command line in a similar fashion. Beyond that,
MOTLoad utilities and MOTLoad tests are distinctly different.

3.3.1

Utilities
The definition of a MOTLoad utility application is very broad. Simply stated, it is considered a
MOTLoad command, if it is not a MOTLoad test. Typically, MOTLoad utility applications are
applications that aid the user in some way (that is, they do something useful). From the
perspective of MOTLoad, examples of utility applications are: configuration, data/status
displays, data manipulation, help routines, data/status monitors, etc.

41

MOTLoad Firmware

Operationally, MOTLoad utility applications differ from MOTLoad test applications in several
ways:

3.3.2

z

Only one utility application operates at any given time (that is, multiple utility applications
cannot be executing concurrently)

z

Utility applications may interact with the user. Most test applications do not.

Tests
A MOTLoad test application determines whether or not the hardware meets a given standard.
Test applications are validation tests. Validation is conformance to a specification. Most
MOTLoad tests are designed to directly validate the functionality of a specific SBC subsystem
or component. These tests validate the operation of such SBC modules as: dynamic memory,
external cache, NVRAM, real time clock, etc.
All MOTLoad tests are designed to validate functionality with minimum user interaction. Once
launched, most MOTLoad tests operate automatically without any user interaction. There are
a few tests where the functionality being validated requires user interaction (that is, switch
tests, interactive plug-in hardware modules, etc.). Most MOTLoad test results (errordata/status-data) are logged, not printed. All MOTLoad tests/commands have complete and
separate descriptions (refer to the MOTLoad Firmware Package User’s Manual for this
information).
All devices that are available to MOTLoad for validation/verification testing are represented by
a unique device path string. Most MOTLoad tests require the operator to specify a test device
at the MOTLoad command line when invoking the test.
A listing of all device path strings can be displayed through the devShow command. If an SBC
device does not have a device path string, it is not supported by MOTLoad and can not be
directly tested. There are a few exceptions to the device path string requirement, like testing
RAM, which is not considered a true device and can be directly tested without a device path
string. Refer to the devShow command description page in the MOTLoad Firmware Package
User’s Manual.

42

MVME3100 Single Board Computer Installation and Use (6806800M28C)

MOTLoad Firmware

Most MOTLoad tests can be organized to execute as a group of related tests (a testSuite)
through the use of the testSuite command. The expert operator can customize their
testing by defining and creating a custom testSuite(s). The list of built-in and user-defined
MOTLoad testSuites, and their test contents, can be obtained by entering testSuite -d at
the MOTLoad prompt. All testSuites that are included as part of a product specific MOTLoad
firmware package are product specific. For more information, refer to the testSuite
command description page in the MOTLoad Firmware Package User’s Manual.
Test results and test status are obtained through the testStatus, errorDisplay, and
taskActive commands. Refer to the appropriate command description page in the
MOTLoad Firmware Package User’s Manual for more information.

3.3.3

Command List
The following table provides a list of all current MOTLoad commands. Products supported by
MOTLoad may or may not employ the full command set. Typing help at the MOTLoad
command prompt will display all commands supported by MOTLoad for a given product.

Using the Command Line Interface
Interaction with MOTLoad is performed via a command line interface through a serial port on
the SBC, which is connected to a terminal or terminal emulator (for example, Window’s
Hypercomm). The default MOTLoad serial port settings are: 9600 baud, 8 bits, no parity.
The MOTLoad command line interface is similar to a UNIX command line shell interface.
Commands are initiated by entering a valid MOTLoad command (a text string) at the MOTLoad
command line prompt and pressing the carriage-return key to signify the end of input.
MOTLoad then performs the specified action. An example of a MOTLoad command line
prompt is shown below. The MOTLoad prompt changes according to what product it is used on
(for example, MVME5500, MVME6100, MVME3100).
Example:
MVME3100>
If an invalid MOTLoad command is entered at the MOTLoad command line prompt, MOTLoad
displays a message that the command was not found.
Example:

48

MVME3100 Single Board Computer Installation and Use (6806800M28C)

MOTLoad Firmware

MVME3100> mytest
"mytest" not found
MVME3100>

If the user enters a partial MOTLoad command string that can be resolved to a unique valid
MOTLoad command and presses the carriage-return key, the command will be executed as if
the entire command string had been entered. This feature is a user-input shortcut that
minimizes the required amount of command line input. MOTLoad is an ever changing firmware
package, so user-input shortcuts may change as command additions are made.
Example:
MVME3100> version
Copyright: Motorola Inc.1999-2002, All Rights Reserved
MOTLoad RTOS Version 2.0
PAL Version 0.1 (Motorola MVME3100)

Example:
MVME3100> ver
Copyright: Motorola Inc. 1999-2002, All Rights Reserved
MOTLoad RTOS Version 2.0
PAL Version 0.1 (Motorola MVME3100)

If the partial command string cannot be resolved to a single unique command, MOTLoad will
inform the user that the command was ambiguous.
Example:
MVME3100> te
"te" ambiguous
MVME3100>

3.4.1

Command Line Rules
There are a few things to remember when entering a MOTLoad command:
z

Multiple commands are permitted on a single command line, provided they are separated
by a single semicolon (;)

z

Spaces separate the various fields on the command line (command/arguments/options)

z

The argument/option identifier character is always preceded by a hyphen (-) character

z

Options are identified by a single character

z

Option arguments immediately follow (no spaces) the option

z

All commands, command options, and device tree strings are case sensitive

Example:
MVME3100> flashProgram –d/dev/flash0 –n00100000
For more information on MOTLoad operation and function, refer to the MOTLoad Firmware
Package User’s Manual.

3.4.2

Command Line Help
Each MOTLoad firmware package has an extensive, product-specific help facility that can be
accessed through the help command. The user can enter help at the MOTLoad command
line to display a complete listing of all available tests and utilities.
Example
MVME3100> help
For help with a specific test or utility the user can enter the following at the MOTLoad prompt:
help 
The help command also supports a limited form of pattern matching. Refer to the help
command page.
Example
MVME3100> help testRam

Firmware Settings
The following sections provide additional information pertaining to the VME firmware settings
of the MVME3100. A few VME settings are controlled by hardware jumpers while the majority
of the VME settings are managed by the firmware command utility vmeCfg.

3.5.1

Default VME Settings
As shipped from the factory, the MVME3100 has the following VME configuration
programmed via Global Environment Variables (GEVs) for the Tsi148 VME controller. The
firmware allows certain VME settings to be changed in order for the user to customize the
environment. The following is a description of the default VME settings that are changeable by
the user. For more information, refer to the MOTLoad User’s Manual and Tundra’s Tsi148 User
Manual, listed in Appendix B, Related Documentation.

Remote Start
As described in the MOTLoad Firmware Package User's Manual, listed in Appendix B, Related
Documentation, remote start allows the user to obtain information about the target board,
download code and/or data, modify memory on the target, and execute a downloaded
program. These transactions occur across the VMEbus in the case of the MVME3100. MOTLoad
uses one of four mailboxes in the Tsi148 VME controller as the inter-board communication
address (IBCA) between the host and the target.
CR/CSR slave addresses configured by MOTLoad are assigned according to the installation slot
in the backplane, as indicated by the VME64 Specification. For reference, the following values
are provided:

Slot Position

CS/CSR Starting Address

1

0x0008.0000

2

0x0010.0000

3

0x0018.0000

0x0058.0000

C

0x0060.0000

For further details on CR/CSR space, please refer to the VME64 Specification, listed in Appendix
B, Related Documentation.
The MVME3100 uses a Discovery II for its VME bridge. The offsets of the mailboxes in the
Discovery II are defined in the Discovery II User Manual, listed in Appendix B, Related
Documentation, but are noted here for reference:

58

MVME3100 Single Board Computer Installation and Use (6806800M28C)

MOTLoad Firmware

Mailbox 0 is at offset 7f348 in the CR/CSR space
Mailbox 1 is at offset 7f34C in the CR/CSR space
Mailbox 2 is at offset 7f350 in the CR/CSR space
Mailbox 3 is at offset 7f354 in the CR/CSR space
The selection of the mailbox used by remote start on an individual MVME3100 is determined
by the setting of a global environment variable (GEV). The default mailbox is zero. Another GEV
controls whether remote start is enabled (default) or disabled. Refer to the Remote Start
appendix in the MOTLoad Firmware Package User's Manual for remote start GEV definitions.
The MVME3100’s IBCA needs to be mapped appropriately through the master’s VMEbus
bridge. For example, to use remote start using mailbox 0 on an MVME3100 installed in slot 5,
the master would need a mapping to support reads and writes of address 0x002ff348 in VME
CR/CSR space (0x280000 + 0x7f348).

3.7

Alternate Boot Images and Safe Start
Some later versions of MOTLoad support Alternate Boot Images and a Safe Start recovery
procedure. If Safe Start is available on the MVME3100, Alternate Boot Images are supported.
With Alternate Boot Image support, the bootloader code in the boot block examines the upper
8MB of the flash bank for Alternate Boot images. If an image is found, control is passed to the
image.

3.8

Firmware Startup Sequence Following Reset
The firmware startup sequence following reset of MOTLoad is to:
z

Initialize cache, MMU, FPU, and other CPU internal items

z

Initialize the memory controller

z

Search the active flash bank, possibly interactively, for a valid POST image. If found, the
POST images executes. Once completed, the POST image returns and startup continues.

z

Search the active flash bank, possibly interactively, for a valid USER boot image. If found,
the USER boot image executes. A return to the boot block code is not anticipated.

MVME3100 Single Board Computer Installation and Use (6806800M28C)

MOTLoad Firmware

z

If a valid USER boot image is not found, search the active flash bank, possibly interactively,
for a valid MCG boot image; anticipated to be upgrade of MCG firmware. If found, the
image is executed. A return to the boot block code is not anticipated.

z

Execute the recovery image of the firmware in the boot block if no valid USER or MCG
image is found

During startup, interactive mode may be entered by either setting the Safe Start
jumper/switch or by sending an  to the console serial port within five seconds of the
board reset. During interactive mode, the user has the option to display locations at which valid
boot images were discovered, specify which discovered image is to be executed, or specify that
the recovery image in the boot block of the active Flash bank is to be executed.

3.9

Firmware Scan for Boot Image
The scan is performed by examining each 1MB boundary for a defined set of flags that identify
the image as being Power On Self Test (POST), USER, or MCG. MOTLoad is an MCG image. POST
is a user-developed Power On Self Test that would perform a set of diagnostics and then return
to the bootloader image. User would be a boot image, such as the VxWorks bootrom, which
would perform board initialization. A bootable VxWorks kernel would also be a USER image.
Boot images are not restricted to being MB or less in size; however, they must begin on a 1MB
boundary within the 8MB of the scanned flash bank. The Flash Bank Structure is shown below:

MOTLoad Firmware

The scan is performed downwards from boot block image and searches first for POST, then
USER, and finally MCG images. In the case of multiple images of the same type, control is
passed to the first image encountered in the scan.
Safe Start, whether invoked by hitting ESC on the console within the first five seconds following
power-on reset or by setting the Safe Start jumper, interrupts the scan process. The user may
then display the available boot images and select the desired image. The feature is provided to
enable recovery in cases when the programmed Alternate Boot Image is no longer desired. The

Boot Images
Valid boot images whether POST, USER, or MCG, are located on 1MB boundaries within flash.
The image may exceed 1MB in size. An image is determined valid through the presence of two
"valid image keys" and other sanity checks. A valid boot image begins with a structure as
defined in the following table:

Name

3.10.1 Checksum Algorithm
The checksum algorithm is a simple unsigned word add of each word (4 byte) location in the
image. The image must be a multiple of 4 bytes in length (word-aligned). The content of the
checksum location in the header is not part of the checksum calculation. The calculation
assumes the location to be zero. The algorithm is implemented using the following code:
Unsigned int checksum(
Unsigned int *startPtr,/* starting address */
Unsigned int endPtr/* ending address */
) {
unsigned int checksum=0;
while (startPtr < endPtr) {
checksum += *startPtr;

62

MOTLoad Firmware

startPtr++;
}
return(checksum);
}

3.10.2 Image Flags
The image flags of the header define various bit options that control how the image will be
executed.
Table 3-2 MOTLoad Image Flags
Name

Value

Interpretation

COPY_TO_RAM

0x00000001

Copy image to RAM at

IMAGE_MCG

0x00000002

MCG-specific image

IMAGE_POST

0x00000004

POST image

DONT_AUTO_RUN

0x00000008

Image not to be executed

z

COPY_TO_RAM
If set, this flag indicates that the image is to be copied to RAM at the address specified in
the header before control is passed. If not set, the image will be executed in flash. In both
instances, control will be passed at the image offset specified in the header from the base
of the image.

z

IMAGE_MCG
If set, this flag defines the image as being an Alternate MOTLoad, as opposed to USER,
image. This bit should not be set by developers of alternate boot images.

z

IMAGE_POST
If set, this flag defines the image as being a power-on self-test image. This bit flag is used
to indicate that the image is a diagnostic and should be run prior to running either USER or
MCG boot images. POST images are expected, but not required, to return to the boot
block code upon completion.

MVME3100 Single Board Computer Installation and Use (6806800M28C)

63

MOTLoad Firmware

z

DONT_AUTO_RUN
If set, this flag indicates that the image is not to be selected for automatic execution. A
user, through the interactive command facility, may specify the image to be executed.

MOTLoad currently uses an Image Flag value of 0x3, which identifies itself as an Alternate
MOTLoad image that executes from RAM. MOTLoad currently does not support execution from
flash.

3.10.3 User Images
These images are user-developer boot code; for example, a VxWorks bootrom image. Such
images may expect the system software state to be as follows upon entry:
z

The MMU is disabled.

z

L1 instruction cache has been initialized and is enabled.

z

L1 data cache has been initialized (invalidated) and is disabled.

z

L2 cache is disabled.

z

L3 cache is disabled.

z

RAM has been initialized and is mapped starting at CPU address 0.

z

If RAM ECC or parity is supported, RAM has been scrubbed of ECC or parity errors.

z

The active Flash bank (boot) is mapped from the upper end of the address space.

z

If specified by COPY_TO_RAM, the image has been copied to RAM at the address specified
by ImageRamAddress.

z

CPU register R1 (the stack pointer) has been initialized to a value near the end of RAM.

z

CPU register R3 is added to the following structure:

typedef struct altBootData {
unsigned int ramSize;/* board's RAM size in MB */
void flashPtr;/* ptr to this image in flash */
char boardType[16];/* name string, eg MVME3100 */
void globalData;/* 16K, zeroed, user defined */
unsigned int reserved[12];
} altBootData_t;
64

MVME3100 Single Board Computer Installation and Use (6806800M28C)

MOTLoad Firmware

3.10.4 Alternate Boot Data Structure
The globalData field of the alternate boot data structure points to an area of RAM which was
initialized to zeroes by the boot loader. This area of RAM is not cleared by the boot loader after
execution of a POST image, or other alternate boot image, is executed. It is intended to provide
a user a mechanism to pass POST image results to subsequent boot images.
The boot loader performs no other initialization of the board than that specified prior to the
transfer of control to either a POST, USER, or MCG image. Alternate boot images need to
initialize the board to whatever state the image may further require for its execution.
POST images are expected, but not required, to return to the boot loader. Upon return, the
boot loader proceeds with the scan for an executable alternate boot image. POST images that
return control to the boot loader must ensure that upon return, the state of the board is
consistent with the state that the board was in at POST entry. USER images should not return
control to the boot loader.

3.10.5 Alternate Boot Images and Safe Start
Some later versions of MOTLoad support alternate boot images and a safe start recovery
procedure. If safe start is available on the MVME3100, alternate boot images are supported.
With alternate boot image support, the boot loader code in the boot block examines the upper
8 MB of the flash bank for alternate boot images. If an image is found, control is passed to the
image.

65

MOTLoad Firmware

3.10.6 Boot Image Firmware Scan
The scan is performed by examining each 1 MB boundary for a defined set of flags that identify
the image as being POST, USER, or Alternate MOTLoad. POST is a user-developed Power On Self
Test that would perform a set of diagnostics and then return to the boot loader image. USER
would be a boot image, such as the VxWorks bootrom, which would perform board
initialization. A bootable VxWorks kernel would also be a USER image. Boot images are not
restricted to being 1 MB or less in size; however, they must begin on a 1 MB boundary within
the 8 MB of the scanned flash bank. The flash bank structure is shown below:

The scan is performed downwards beginning at the location of the first possible alternate
image and searches first for POST, then USER, and finally Alternate MOTLoad images. In the
case of multiple images of the same type, control is passed to the first image encountered in
the scan.
Safe Start, whether invoked by hitting ESC on the console within the first five seconds following
power-on reset or by setting the Safe Start jumper, interrupts the scan process. The user may
then display the available boot images and select the desired image. The feature is provided to
enable recovery in cases when the programmed Alternate Boot Image is no longer desired. The

The MVME3100 uses the MPC8540 local bus controller (LBC) for access to on-board Flash and
I/O registers. The LBC has programmable timing modes to support devices of different access
times, as well as device widths of 8, 16, and 32 bits.
The MVME3100 uses the LBC in GPCM (general purpose chip select machine) mode to
interface to two physical banks of on-board Flash, an on-board quad UART (QUART), on-board
32-bit timers, and the System Control/Status registers. Refer to the MVME3100 Single-Board
Computer Programmer’s Reference Guide listed in Appendix B, Related Documentation, for the
LBC bank and chip select assignments.

4.6.1

I2C Serial Interface and Devices
The MVME3100 provides the following on-board I2C serial devices connected to the MPC8540
I2C controller interface:
z

8KB serial EEPROM for VPD

z

Two 64KB serial EEPROMs for user configuration data storage

z

256 byte serial EEPROM on SODIMM for SPD

z

Maxim DS1375 RTC

z

Maxim DS1621 temperature sensor

z

8KB serial EEPROM on RTM VPD

The Maxim DS1375 RTC implemented on the MVME3100 provides an alarm interrupt routed
to the MPC8540 programmable interrupt controller (PIC). A Maxim DS32KHz temperature
controlled crystal oscillator provides the RTC reference. A battery backup circuit for the RTC is
provided on board.
The Maxim DS1621 digital temperature sensor provides a measure of the temperature of the
board.
The I2C interface is also routed to the on-board SODIMM socket. This allows the serial presence
detect (SPD) in the serial EEPROM, which is located on the memory module, to be read and
used to configure the memory controller accordingly. Similarly, the I2C interface is routed to
the P2 connector for access to the serial EEPROM located on the RTM. The device address for
the RTM serial EERPOM is user-selectable using configuration switches on the RTM.
Refer to the MVME3100 Single-Board Computer Programmer’s Reference Guide in Appendix B,
Related Documentation, for more information.

serialized AT Attachment Specification, Revision 1.0. It also supports the native command
queuing feature of sATA II.
The MVME3100 uses two of the four sATA channels. Channel 0 is routed to a sATA connector
mounted on the front panel for an external drive connection. Channel 1 is routed to a planar
sATA connector for an "inside the chassis" drive connection. Collocated with the planar
connector is a sATA power connector. The sATA controller can operate in legacy (Native PCI
IDE) and Direct Port Access (DPA) mode.
The MVME3100 provides two programmable LEDs to indicate sATA channel activity.
Refer to the SiI3124A PCI-X to Serial ATA Controller Datasheet listed in Appendix B, Related
Documentation, for additional details and/or programming information

4.10.4 PCI-X-to-PCI-X Bridges
The MVME3100 uses two PLX PCI6520 PCI-X-to-PCI-X bridges to isolate the primary PCI bus,
bus A. These bridges isolate bus A from bus B with the PMC sites and from bus C with the USB
controller and PMCspan interface. The PCI6520 is a 64-bit, 133 MHz, PCI-X r1.0b compliant
device. It operates asynchronously between 33 MHz and 133 MHz on either primary or
secondary port. Refer to the PCI6520CB Data Book listed in Appendix B, Related

6.1.1

Default Processor Memory Map
The MPC8540 presents a default processor memory map following RESET negation. The
following table shows the default memory map from the point of view of the processor. The
e500 core only provides one default TLB entry to access boot code and it allows for accesses
within the highest 4KB of memory. To access the full 8MB of default boot space (and the 1MB
of CCSR space), additional TLB entries must be set up within the e500 core for mapping these
regions. Refer to the MPC8540 Reference Manual listed in Appendix B, Related Documentation,
for details.
This is the default location for the CCSRs, but it is not mapped after reset.

5-7 where bit 7 is set, bit 6 is cleared, and bit 5 is set (101), a hard reset is generated. Any other
pattern written in bits 5-7, does not generate a hard reset. These bits are cleared automatically

Prescalar Adjust: The prescaler adjust value is determined by the following formula:

The prescaler provides the clock required by each of the four timers. The tick timers require a

6.1.16.3 Compare Registers
The tick timer counter is compared to the Compare register. When they are equal, the tick
timer interrupt is asserted and the overflow counter is incremented. If the clear-on-compare
mode is enabled, the counter is also cleared. For periodic interrupts, this equation should be
used to calculate the compare register value for a specific period (T):
Compare register value = T (us)
When programming the tick timer for periodic interrupts, the counter should be cleared to
zero by software and then enabled. If the counter does not initially start at 0, the time to the
first interrupt may be longer or shorter than expected. The rollover time for the counter is 71.6
minutes.

MPC8540 Reset Configuration
The MVME3100 supports the power-on reset (POR) pin sampling method for MPC8540 reset
configuration. The states of the various configuration pins on the MPC8540 are sampled when
reset is de-asserted to determine the desired operating modes. The following table describes
the configuration options and the corresponding default setting. Refer to the MPC8540
Reference Manual listed in Appendix B, Related Documentation, for additional details and/or

Flash Memory
The MVME3100 is designed to provide one or two physical banks of soldered-on Flash
memory. Each bank may be populated with two AMD Spansion MirrorBit 3.0V devices
configured to operate in 16-bit mode to form a 32-bit Flash bank. The Flash bank connected to
LBC Chip Select 0 is the boot bank and is always populated. The second Flash bank connected
to LBC Chip Select 1 may or may not be populated depending on Flash size requirements and
available Flash devices. The VPD Flash packet(s) will determine which banks are populated and
the size of the devices. Software must program one or two LBC chip selects based on the VPD
Flash packet information. The following table defines the supported Flash density options for
each bank. The factory configuration for the MVME3100-1152 is one bank of 64MB; for the
MVME3100-1263, it is one bank of 128MB.

A hardware Flash bank write protect switch is provided on the MVME3100 to enable write
protection of both physical banks. Regardless of the state of the software Flash write protect
bit in the Flash Control/Status register, write protection is enabled for both banks when this
switch is ON. When this switch is OFF, write protection is controlled by the state of the software
Flash write protect bit and can only be disabled by clearing this bit in the Flash Control/Status
register. Refer to Flash Control/Status Register on page 112 for more information.
The F_WE_HW bit reflects the state of the switch and is only software readable, whereas the
F_WP_SW bit supports both read and write operations.
The MVME3100 provides a dual boot option for booting from one of two separate boot images
in the boot Flash bank, which are referred to as boot block A and boot block B. Boot blocks A
and B are each 1MB in size and are located at the top (highest address) 2 MB of the boot Flash
memory space. Boot block A is located at the highest 1MB block and block B is the next highest
1MB block. A FLASH boot block switch is used to select between boot block A and boot block
B. When the switch is OFF, the Flash memory map is normal and block A is selected. When the

MVME3100 Single Board Computer Installation and Use (6806800M28C)

Programming Details

switch is ON, block B is mapped to the highest address as shown below. The MAP_SEL bit in the
Flash Control/Status register can override the switch and restore the memory map to the
normal configuration with block A selected. Upon RESET, this mapping reverts to the switch
selection.

PCI IDSEL Definition
Each PCI device has an associated address line connected via a resistor to its IDSEL pin for
configuration space accesses. The following table shows the IDSEL assignments for the PCI
devices and slots on each of the PCI buses on the board, along with the corresponding interrupt
assignment to the PIC external interrupt pins. Refer to the MPC8540 Reference Manual and

The integrated PCI/X arbiters internal to the MPC8540 and the PCI6520 bridges provide PCI
arbitration for the MVME3100. The MPC8540 provides arbitration support for itself and the
four PCI-X devices on PCI bus A.
The PCI6520 secondary PCI/X interface arbiters support external bus masters in addition to the
PCI6520. One secondary arbiter provides arbitration for the PMC sites on PCI bus B, and the
other provides arbitration for the PMCspan and USB host controller on PCI bus C.
The arbitration assignments on the MVME3100 are shown in the follow table so that software
may set arbiter priority assignments if necessary.

Clock Distribution
The clock function generates and distributes all of the clocks required for system operation.
The clock tree is designed in such a manner as to maintain the strict edge-to-edge jitter and
low clock-to-clock skew required by the devices. Additional clocks required by individual
devices are generated near the devices using individual oscillators. Table 7-10 on page 137 lists

the clocks required on the MVME3100 along with their frequency and source. The clock tree A
frequencies on bus A have a default configuration of 66 MHz. The 33/66/100 MHz clocks are
dynamically configured at reset depending on the state of the PCIXCAP and M66EN pins on bus
B.
The PCI clock trees A, B, and C are not required to be synchronized with each other.

MPC8540 Real-Time Clock Input
The MPC8540 real-time clock (RTC) input is driven by a 1 MHz clock generated by the control
and timers PLD. This provides a fixed clock reference for the RTC that software can use as a
known timing reference. To select this 1 MHz clock as the RTC timer reference, software must
set the SEL_TBCLK bit in the MPC8540 HID0 register.

7.15

MPC8540 LBC Clock Divisor
The MPC8540 LBC clock output is used by the control and timers PLD. The LBC clock is derived
from a divide by 2, 4 or 8 ratio of the internal CCB (core complex bus) clock as determined by
the clock ratio register (LCRR[CLKDIV]). For proper operation of the local bus, CLKDIV must be
set for divide by 8, which is the default value. The software must leave this register configured
for divide by 8 during initialization.
