  • Page 22: Preparing The Board

    Preparing the Board To produce the desired configuration and ensure proper operation of the MVME177P, you may need to reconfigure hardware to some extent before installating the board. Most options on the MVME177P are under software control: By setting bits in control registers after installing the module in a system, you can modify its configuration.

    Serial Port 4 Clock Configuration (J10 and J11) Serial port 4 can be configured to use clock signals provided by the RTXC4 and TRXC4 signal lines. Headers J10 and J11 on the MVME177P configure serial port 4 to drive or receive TRXC4 and RTXC4, respectively.

  • Page 27: Petra Sdram Size (S3)

    Preparing the Board Petra SDRAM Size (S3) MVME177P boards use SDRAM (Synchronous DRAM) in place of DRAM. For compatibility with user applications, the MVME177P’s SDRAM is configurable to emulate 4MB, 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, or 128MB ECC-protected DRAM. Board configuration is a function of switch settings and resistor population options.

    [In the MVME167P case, the position of S4 segment 2 plays no role in configuration.] On the MVME177P, the EPROMs share 2MB of memory space with the first 2MB of Flash memory. The EPROM can coexist with 2MB of Flash, or you may wish to program all 4MB as Flash memory.

    Chapter 3 for more details. Although you can use streaming tape to autoboot, the same power supply must be connected to the tape drive, the controller, and the MVME177P. Caution At power-up, the tape controller will position the streaming tape to the load point where the volume ID can correctly be read and used.

  • Page 43: Romboot

    Bringing up the Board However, if the MVME177P loses power but the controller does not, and the tape happens to be at load point, the necessary command sequences (Attach and Rewind) cannot be given to the controller and the autoboot will not succeed.

  • Page 44: Network Boot

    For complete details on using the ROMboot function, refer to the Debugging Package for Motorola 68K CISC CPUs User’s Manual. Network Boot Network Auto Boot is a software routine in the 177Bug EPROM which provides a mechanism for booting an operating system using a network (local Ethernet interface) as the boot device.

  • Page 45: Restarting The System

    During warm resets, the 177Bug variables and tables are preserved, as well as the target state registers and breakpoints. Note that when the MVME177P comes up in a cold reset, 177Bug runs in Board mode. Using the Environment (ENV) or MENU commands can make 177Bug run in System mode.

  • Page 46: Abort

    Aborts are invoked by pressing and releasing the switch on the ABORT MVME177P front panel. When you invoke an abort while executing a user program (running target code), a snapshot of the processor state is stored in the target registers. This characteristic makes aborts most appropriate for terminating user programs that are being debugged.
