The BSP is built and tested on the 4.7.1 and 4.7.99.2 CVS RTEMS release.
I believe in valuable real-time programming, where technical neatness,
performance and truth are. Any suggestion, bug reports, or even bug
fixes (great!) would be highly appreciated so that I still believe
what I believe.

Jumpers
=======
1) The BSP is tested with the 60x bus mode instead of the MPX bus mode.
( No jumper or a jumper across pins 1-2 on J19 selects the 60x bus mode)
2) On the mvme5500 board, Ethernet 1 is the Gigabit Ethernet port and is
front panel only. Ethernet 2 is 10/100 BaseT Ethernet. For front-panel
Ethernet2, install jumpers across pins 1-2 on all J6, J7, J100 and
J101 headers.
3) Enable SROM initialization at startup. (No jumper or a jumper across
pins 1-2 on J17)
In fact, (if I did not miss anything) the mvme5500 board should function
properly if one keeps all the jumpers at factory configuration.
One can leave out the jumper on J30 to disable EEPROM programming.
Notes
=====
BSP BAT usage
----------------------
DBAT0 and IBAT0
0x00000000
0x0fffffff 1st 256M, for MEMORY access (caching enabled)
DBAT1 and IBAT1
0x00000000
0x0fffffff 2nd 256M, for MEMORY access (caching enabled)
UPDATE: (2004/5).
The BSP now uses page tables for mapping the entire 512MB
of RAM. DBAT0 and DBAT1 is hence free for use by the
application. A simple 1:1 (virt<->phys) mapping is employed.
The BSP write-protects the text and read-only data
areas of the application. Special acknowledgement to Till
Straumann <strauman@slac.stanford.edu> for providing inputs in
porting the memory protection software he wrote (BSP_pgtbl_xxx())
to MVME5500.
The default VME configuration uses DBAT0 to map
more PCI memory space for use by the universe VME
bridge:
