  • Page 84: Processor/Memory Domain

    Programming Considerations Processor/Memory Domain The MPC603/604 processor can operate in both big-endian and little-endian mode. However, it always treats the external processor/memory bus as big-endian by performing address rearrangement and reordering when running in little-endian mode. The MPC registers in the Raven MPU/PCI bus bridge controller ASIC and the Falcon memory controller chip set, as well as DRAM, ROM/Flash, and system registers, always appear as big-endian.

  • Page 85: Vmebus Domain

    Operating Instructions PCI and Ethernet Ethernet is also byte-stream-oriented; the byte having the lowest address in memory is the first one to be transferred regardless of the endian mode. Since the Raven maintains address invariance in both little-endian and big-endian mode, no endian issues should arise for Ethernet data.

  • Page 179: Introduction

    CSerial Interconnections Introduction As described in previous chapters of this manual, the MVME2603/2604 serial communications interface has four ports. Two of them are combined synchronous/asynchronous ports; the other two are asynchronous only. Both synchronous and asynchronous ports supply an EIA-232-D DCE/DTE interface via P2 and the MVME712M transition module.

  • Page 180: Eia-232-D Connections

    EIA-232-D Connections handles both synchronous (SDLC/HDLC) and asynchronous protocols. The hardware supports asynchronous serial baud rates of 110B/s to 38.4KB/s and synchronous baud rates of up to 2.5MB/s. Each port supports the CTS, DCD, RTS, and DTR control signals, as well as the TxD and RxD transmit/receive data signals and TxC/RxC synchronous clock signals.
