The MVME3100 series offers customers an alternate migration path from the 68K, MVME2100.

MVME2300.MVME2400. MVME2600. MVME2700. and MVME5100 boards to 

allow them to take advantage of features such as the integrated MPC8540 SoC processor ,

DDR memory, Gigabit Ethernet, PCI-X, USB, SATA,and 2eSST.

PCI ExPanSIon

The MVME3100 has a 32/64-bit, 33 MHz PCI connection to support PCI

expansion carriers such as the Emerson PMCspan.

TranSITIon ModulES

The MVME721 transition module provides industry standard connector

access to one 10/100/1000BaseTx port. All of these are via RJ45 connectors.

The MVME721 RTM is designed to directly connect to the VME backplane

in chassis’ with an 80mm deep rear-transition area.

Software Support

fIrMwarE MonITor

The MVME3100 firmware (known as MOTLoad) is resident in the MVME3100

flash and provides power on self-test initialization and operating system

booting capabilities. In addition, it provides a debug ger interface similar

to the time proven “BUG” interface on previous VMEbus boards from Emerson.

Backward Compatibility

The MVME3100 series continues the direction of providing a migration path

from Emerson’s embed ded controllers such as the MVME16x, MVME17x,

MVME2300/MVME2400. and from Emerson SBCs such as the

MVME2600/2700 to a single platform. The MVME3100 series, like the MVME5100.

and MVME6100 series, merged the best features of Emerson’s embedded

controllers and SBCs enabling OEMs to support varying I/O requirements with

the same base platform, simplifying part number maintenance,

technical expertise requirements, and sparing.

oPEraTIng SySTEMS and KErnElS

The MVME3100 series supports booting a variety of operating systems including

a complete range of real time operating systems and kernels.

A VxWorks board support package, LynxOS board support package and

Linux support will be available for the MVME3100 series.

BalanCEd PErforManCE

The MVME3100 series provides more than just faster VMEbus transfer rates; it provides balanced perfor

mance from the processor, memory subsystem, localbuses and I/O subsystems.

This coupled with a wealth of I/O interfaces make the MVME3100 series ideal for

use as an application-specific compute blade, or an intelligent I/O blade/carrier. 

The Freescale MPC8540 system-on-chip (SoC) processor, running at speeds up

to 833 MHz, is well-suited for I/O and data-intensive applications.

The integrated SoC design creates an I/O intensive state-of-the-art package that combines a

low power processing core and on-chip L2 cache with integrated controllers for memory,

PCI-X, DMA ,Ethernet and local device I/O. 

The on-chip PCI-X bus and a 166 MHz DDR memory bus are well matched to

the processor. To ensure that the MVME3100 series can handle the

320MB/s data rates of 2eSST, the Tsi148 VMEbus interface chip is directly connected to

the integrated PCI-X bus at 66 MHz.

A secondary PCI-X bus has dual PMC-X sites—each site supports PMC or

PMC-X cards supporting PCI bus speeds from 33 to100 MHz.

The MVME3100 also offers dual Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, a 10/100 interface,

USB 2.0. dual Serial ATA ports, and five (5) RS232 serial connections.

Overview

VMEBuS 2ESST PErforManCE

The 2eSST protocol offers an available VME bus bandwidth of up to 320MB/s,

an increase of up to 8x over VME64. while maintaining backward compatibility

with VME64 and VME32. The combination of the latest Texas Instruments VMEbus transceivers and

the Tundra Tsi148 VMEbus bridge’s legacy protocol support allows customers to integrate the MVME3100

series into their existing infrastructure providing backward compatibility and thereby preserving their

investment in existing VMEbus boards, backplanes, chassis and software.
