M.Savitski --- --- This material is a part of the MVME162 Board Support Package --- for the RTEMS executive. Its licensing policies are those of the --- RTEMS distribution. --- --- Updated by Joel Sherrill (jsherril@redstone.army.mil) after --- inclusion in the standard release. --- - - -MVME162 Models --------------- - -There are three different models of the MVME162 board. There are many -variations within each model. - - Model Variants - --------- -------------------------------------------------- - MVME162 MVME162-0xx - MVME162FX MVME162-4xx, MVME162-5xx - MVME162LX MVME162-2xx, MVME162-3xx, MVME162-7xx, MVME162-8xx - -All models use either an MC68040 or MC68LC040 (no FPU) processors. The -processor used varies by variant as does the speed, the amount and type -of memory and the I/O devices (serial, ethernet, SCSI and VME). See the -README.models file for details. - - -Configuring the BSP -------------------- -The BSP needs to be configured for your specific board. The following -files need to be modified. - -include/bsp.h -Change the MOT_162BUG_VEC_ADDRESS define to start of memory for your -board - -make/custom/mvme162.cfg -If your board has an MC68040 processor -- change the value of RTEMS_CPU_MODEL -- remove the -msoft-float flag from CPU_CFLAGS - - - -MVME162FX and DMA on the IP bus -------------------------------- - -From Eric Vaitl <eric@viasat.com>: - -If you have any customers that will be using the 162FX, tell them to -be careful. The main difference between the 162 and the 162FX is DMA -on the IP bus. I spent over a month trying to write a DMA HDLC driver -for GreenSprings IP-MP and couldn't get it to work. I talked to some -people at GreenSprings, and they agreed that there really is no way to -get DMA to work unless you know the size of the packets in advance. -Once the IP2 chip DMA controller is given the character count and -enabled, it doesn't accept further commands until all of the -characters have arrived. The only way to terminate a DMA transfer -prematurely is by raising DMAEND* during the last read. None of the IP -modules that I know of are currently able to do that. GreenSprings is -working on the problem, but nothing is going to available for a few -months. - -Installation ------------- -Nothing unique to the MVME162. It has been incorporated into the -standard release. - -Port Description ----------------- -This section describes the initial port effort. There have been -additions and modifications to the bsp since this was done. -Interestingly, this was the first bsp submitted to the RTEMS project -and the submission offer came out of the blue with no prior -communication with the author. :) - -The port was done using already existing ports to the M68020 boards, -DMV152 and MVME136. - -The initial host development system was SUN/Solaris 2.3, and -the cross-development environment consisted of Free Software -Foundation (FSF)'s GNU C compiler (version 2.6), GNU Assembler -(version 2.3) and GNU binary utilities binutils version 2.5.2, -built with m68k as a target. The recent/latest versions of other -GNU programs (flex, make, etc) were also used at the build stage. - -In all subdirectories of the RTEMS distribution tree, the directories -mvme136 were duplicated as mvme162. - -Essential modifications are detailed below: - -- the MVME162-specific hardware registers were described in bsp.h - -- timer and clock routines were made to use the MVME162's Tick Timers 1 -and 2, respectively - -- shared memory support was replaced by stubs for the time being - -- console IO was lifted entirely from the DMV152 support code, thanks -to the fact that Z8530 SCC used in DMV152 is upwards compatible with -the Z85230 SCC of the MVME162. (Only the memory mapping of the SCC -registers had to be changed.) - -- symbols in several *.s files were prepended with underscores to -comply with the xgcc configuration used (it prepends underscores to all -symbols defined in c code) - -- linkcmds file was modified to place the linked code into the memory -configured for the board in use - -- bspstart.c was modified as follows: - - monitors_vector_table = (rtems_isr *)0xFFE00000; - -was made to point to the power-up location of MVME162 interrupt vector -table. - -- The shutdown is a temporary solution. To exit cleanly, it has to disable -all enabled interrupts and restore the board to its power-up status. -Presently this is not done satisfactorily, as a result, the board needs -a hardware reset from the external VMEbus master or from the front -panel to ensure correct operation for subsequent downloads. - -Host System ------------ -The VMEbus master used to externally control and download the MVME162 -is a FORCE CPU-2CE board running Solaris 2.3. A simple program to load -s-records and start/reset the MVME162 was written. The code is in the -file tools/sload.c - -This code depends on the external VMEbus master's vme driver and is -provided as an example, without the Makefile. The bulk of the program -which parses the s-records is courtesy of Kym Newbery, -(8918927y@lux.levels.unisa.edu.au). - -In general, apart from x-gcc, the tools most often used while building -RTEMS for MVME162 were: find, grep, diff, and, of course - -MVME162 Embedded Controller Programmer's Reference Guide, -Motorola, MVME162PG/D1. - -Thanks ------- -- to On-Line Applications Research Corporation (OAR) for developing -RTEMS and making it available on a Technology Transfer basis; -- to Joel Sherril, the leader of the RTEMS development group for -stimulating and helpful discussions; -- to Kym Newbery (8918927y@lux.levels.unisa.edu.au) for his s-record -parser; -- to Gerd Truschinski (gt@first.gmd.de) for creating and running the -crossgcc mailing list -- to FSF and Cygnus Support for great free software; - -What's new ----------- - - 28.07.95 BSP adjusted to rtems-3.2.0. - - Now console driver uses interrupts on receive (ring buffer - code lifted with thanks from the IDP BSP next door (../idp)) - - both front-panel serial interfaces are supported - - serious bug in timer interrupts fixed - - interrupt test tm27 now supported - -+----------------------------------+-------------------------------+ -| Dr. Mikhail (Misha) Savitski | Voice : +46-980-79162 | -| Software Systems Engineer | Fax : +46-980-79161 | -| EISCAT Svalbard Radar Project | E-mail: mms@eiscathq.irf.se | -| EISCAT Scientific Association |----------- /\_/\ -----------| -| Box 812 S-98128 Kiruna, Sweden | EIS { o o } CAT | -+----------------------------------+-------oQQQ--(>I<)--QQQo-------+ - - |
