MVME167 Single Board Computer

Highlights

Motorola's MVME167 single board computer represents the pinnacle of functionality, flexibility, and performance in a CISC-based system. Based on the most powerful CISC microprocessor available, Motorola's MC68040, the MVME167 combines a microprocessor with the memory management and floating-point units to achieve 26 MIPS at 25 MHz and 40 MIPS at 33 MHz. This outstanding processing speed and floating-point performance makes the MVME167 an ideal solution for scientific and industrial applications.

The MVME167's compatibility with existing M68000 family software, including the UNIXµ SYSTEM V/68(tm) Operating System and the VMEexecµ Software Development Environment offers CISC-based software environments the ability to realize near RISC performance levels while maintaining object code-compatibility with existing software platforms.

VMEbus Interface

Another design advantage of the MVME167 is the use of a second generation Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC). The ASIC interfaces the MVME167 to the VMEbus for higher levels of quality, reliability, and functionality.

In addition to controlling the system's VMEbus functions, the VMEbus Interface ASIC also includes a local bus to/from VMEbus DMA controller, VME board support features, as well as Global Control and Status Register (GCSR) for microprocessor communications. The MVME167 also provides support for the VME D64 specification within the VMEbus interface, further enhancing system performance.

Transition Modules

Optional MVME712 Series Transition Modules are available to support the use of standard I/O connections for the MVME167 Series. These modules take the I/O connections for the peripherals on-board the MVME167 Series from the P2 connection of the module to a transition module that has industry standard connections.

Expansion Memory

Expansion memory is available for field upgrades. Two types of expansion are possible. The first requires replacing the existing memory mezzanine with a new module. The second requires the addition of a second mezzanine module, requiring a second VMEbus slot.

Development Software

Development software for the MVME167 series includes the on-board debugger/monitor firmware and driver packages for the UNIX SYSTEM V/68 and VMEexec environments. Object and source code is available for application development. Debugger/monitor firmware is included on the board.

The Motorola Commitment

With the MVME167, Motorola continues its commitment to meeting your needs with leading edge technology. Adherence to industry standards and open architecture provides the maximum in hardware and software compatibility, while facilitating system customization and expansion.

This commitment is evident in the MVME167. Combining the high performance of the MC68040 microprocessor and integral floating-point unit with its support of existing MC68000-based software, the MVME167 single board computer offers the widest range of flexibility, functionality, and performance available for today's systems integration and OEM marketplace.

Notes:

1. On-board EPROM appears at $00000000 - $003FFFFF following a local bus reset. The EPROM appears at 0 until the ROM0 bit is cleared in the VMEchip2. The ROM0 bit is located at address $FFF40030 bit 20. The EPROM must be disabled at 0 before the DRAM is enabled. The VMEchip 2 and DRAM map decoders are disabled by a local bus reset.
2. This area is user-programmable. The suggested use is shown in the table. The DRAM decoder is programmed in the MEM040 or MCECC chip, and the local-to-VMEbus decoders are programmed in the VMEchip2.
3. Size is approximate.
4. Cache inhibit depends on devices in area mapped.
5. This area is not decoded. If these locations are accessed and the local bus timer is enabled, the cycle times out and is terminated by a TEA signal.
