Preface

The MVME2400-Series VME Processor Module Installation and Use manual provides the

information you will need to install and use your MVME2400-series VME processor

module (hereafter refered to as "MVME2400x" or "module"). The module is based on an

MPC750 PowerPC microprocessor, and features dual PCI Mezzanine Card (PMC) slots

with front panel and/or P2 I/O. The module is currently available in the configurations

listed in Chapter 1.

The MVME2400 is compatible with the optional double-width or single-width PCI

Mezzanine Cards (PMCs and with the PMCspan PCI expansion mezzanine module. By

utilizing the two onboard PMC slots and stacking the PMCspan(s), the MVME2400x

provides support for up to six PMCs.

This manual includes hardware preparation and installation instructions, along with

information on: using the front panel, programming the board, using the PPCBug

debugging firmware, and other advanced debugger topics. Appendices provide the

module's specifications and connector pin assignments. Additional manuals you may wish

to obtain are listed in Appendix A.

The information in this manual applies principally to the MVME240x. The PMCspan and

PMCs are described briefly; however, they are documented in separate publications,

furnished with those products. Refer to the individual product documentation for complete

preparation and installation instructions. These manuals are listed in Appendix A.

This manual is intended for anyone who wants to design OEM systems, supply additional

capability to an existing compatible system, or work in a lab environment for experimental

purposes. A basic knowledge of computers and digital logic is assumed.
