overall architecture. The following sections describe the major functional
blocks of the MVME167P.
The local data bus on the MVME167P is a 32-bit synchronous bus that is
based on the MC68040 bus, and which supports burst transfers and
snooping. The various local bus master and slave devices use the local bus
to communicate. The local bus is arbitrated by priority type; the priority of
the local bus masters from highest to lowest is: 82596CA LAN, CD2401
serial (through the PCCchip2), 53C710 SCSI, VMEbus, and MPU. In the
general case, any master can access any slave; not all combinations pass
the common sense test, however. Refer to the MVME1X7P Single Board
Computers Programmer's Reference Guide and to the user's guide for each
device to determine its port size, data bus connection, and any restrictions
that apply when accessing the device.
The MC68040 processor is used on the MVME167P. The MC68040 has
on-chip instruction and data caches and a floating-point processor. Refer
to the MC68040 user's manual for more information.
