The MVME712M transition module provides

industry-standard connector access to the Centronics

parallel port, a narrow SCSI port, and four DB-25

connectors providing access to the asynchronous/

synchronous serial ports jumper configurable as

EIA-232 DCE or DTE. A P2 adapter board provides

interface signals to the MVME712M transition

module. The 3-row P2 adapter board also provides

connection for 8-bit SCSI. To gain access to the

additional user-definable I/O pins provided via the 5-row

VME64 extension connector, a special P2 adapter

board is available. This adapter panel replaces the

traditional 3-row P2 adapter board and extends its

capability by providing access to the PMC I/O pins.

Software Support

FIrMwarE MonITor

Firmware must fulfill the traditional functions of

power-on self-test (POST), initialization, low-level

setup and debug, and operating system booting.

Emerson’s innovative firmware (known as MOTLoad)

that is resident on the MVME5500 exceeds these

requirements with expanded features such as

interrupt driven I/O, more comprehensive power-up

tests and extensive diagnostics with new scripting

capability. And of course, MOTLoad provides a

debugger interface similar to the time proven “bug”

interface on previous VMEbus boards from Emerson.

oPEraTIng SySTEMS and KErnElS

WindRiver Systems VxWorks, TimeSys Linux, Green

Hills Software INTEGRITY and LynuxWorks LynxOS are

available for the MVME5500.

TranSITIon ModulES

The MVME761 transition module provides industry

standard connector access to the IEEE 1284 parallel

port, a 10BaseT or 100BaseT port via an RJ-45

connector, two DB-9 connectors providing access to

the asynchronous serial ports configured as EIA-574

DTE and two HD-26 connectors providing access to

the sync/async serial ports. These serial ports, labeled

as Serial 3 and Serial 4 on the faceplate of the MVME761.

are individually user-configurable as EIA-232. DCE or

DTE via the installation of Emerson Serial Interface

Modules (SIMs). A P2 adapter board provides interface

signals to the MVME761 transition module. Two

separate P2 adapter boards are available: one for 3-row

backplanes and one for 5-row backplanes. The 3-row

P2 adapter board provides connection for 8-bit SCSI.

A 5-row P2 adapter board supports 16-bit SCSI and

PMC I/O.

P2 I/o ModES

The MVME5500 series supports two, jumper-configurable

P2 I/O modes: PMC mode and IPMC mode. PMC mode

is backward compatible with the MVME2300/

MVME2400 and MVME5100 in PMC mode. In PMC

mode, 64 pins from PMC slot 1 and 46 pins from PMC

slot 2 are available on P2 for PMC rear I/O. In IPMC

mode, the MVME5500 series supports legacy

MVME761 or MVME712M I/O modules (with limited

PMC I/O) when an IPMC761 or IPMC712 PMC card is

populated in PMC slot 1. In this configuration, PMC

slot 2 contains some signals that are reserved for extended SCSI.

The IPMC761 and IPMC712 are optional add-on PMC

modules that provide backward compatibility with

previous generation Emerson products (such as

MVME2600. MVME2700 and MVME5100 in IPMC mode)

using the MVME761 or MVME712M transition module.

IPMC modules provide rear I/O support for the following:

•  One single-ended Ultra Wide SCSI port

•  One parallel port

•  Four serial ports (two or three async and one or two  n

sync/async, depending on module)

With an IPMC installed, one PMC slot is still available,

providing support for OEM product customization.

Backwards Compatibility

The MVME5500 continues the direction that Emerson

started with the MVME5100 series of providing a

migration path from Emerson’s embedded controllers

and single-board computers (SBCs) to a single

platform. This migration path enables OEMs to

support varying I/O requirements with the same base

platform, simplifying part number maintenance,

technical expertise requirements and sparing.

The MVME5500 series offers customers a migration

path from the MVME2300. MVME2400. MVME2600.

MVME2700 and MVME5100 boards to allow them to

take advantage of features such as the MPC7455

processor, Gigabit Ethernet and dual independent

33/66 MHz PMC sites.

IPMC ModulES

The IPMC761 and IPMC712 are optional add-on PMC

modules that provide backward compatibility with

previous generation Emerson products (such as

MVME2600. MVME2700 and MVME5100 in IPMC mode)

using the MVME761 or MVME712M transition module.

IPMC modules provide rear I/O support for the following:

•  One single-ended Ultra Wide SCSI port

•  One parallel port

•  Four serial ports (two or three async and one or two  n

sync/async, depending on module)

With an IPMC installed, one PMC slot is still available,

providing support for OEM product customization.

The MVME5500 series supports two, jumper-configurable

P2 I/O modes: PMC mode and IPMC mode. PMC mode

is backward compatible with the MVME2300/

MVME2400 and MVME5100 in PMC mode. In PMC

mode, 64 pins from PMC slot 1 and 46 pins from PMC

slot 2 are available on P2 for PMC rear I/O. In IPMC

mode, the MVME5500 series supports legacy

MVME761 or MVME712M I/O modules (with limited

PMC I/O) when an IPMC761 or IPMC712 PMC card is

populated in PMC slot 1.

The MVME5500 utilizes the MPC7457 processor running at 1 GHz, which is ideal for

data intensive applications. The MVME5500 provides more than just better processor

performance; it also provides balanced performance from the processor, memory,

dual independent local buses and I/O subsystems.

The powerful Marvell system controller, with support for a 133 MHz host bus and

a 133 MHz SDRAM memory bus, is well matched to the high speed processor. To

match the system I/O to the outstanding processor performance, the MVME5500

provides dual 64-bit, 33/66 MHz PCI buses. Each PCI bus has a PMC site supporting

cards running at 33 or 66 MHz. The Universe II VME interface and PMCspan connec

tor are isolated from the PMC sites on a dedicated 33 MHz PCI bus segment so that

both PMC sites are capable of 66 MHz operation.

The MVME5500 also offers a Gigabit Ethernet interface, a 10/100BaseTX Ethernet

interface and two serial ports. All of this adds up to a set of well-balanced,

high-performance subsystems for unparalleled performance.

The MVME5500 is the flagship of our VME product line that enables

higher levels of performance in a single VMEbus slot

• MPC7457 PowerPC ® processor at 1 GHz

• 512KB of on-chip L2 cache and 2MB of L3 cache

• AltiVec coprocessor for high performance computational applications

• Two banks of soldered flash memory (32MB and 8MB)

•  Dual independent 64-bit PCI buses and PMC sites with a bus speed of up to 66 MHz

•  Gigabit Ethernet interface plus an additional 10/100BaseTX Ethernet interface

•  64-bit PCI expansion mezzanine connector allowing up to four more PMCs

•  I/O compatibility with MVME51xx family

•  Support for processor PMCs (PrPMCs)

The Emerson Network Power MVME5500 series is designed to meet the needs of

OEMs including those in defense and aerospace, industrial automation and medical

imaging market segments. Customers looking for a technology refresh for their

application while maintaining backward compatibility with their existing VMEbus

infrastructure can upgrade to the MVME5500 series and take advantage of the

enhanced performance features.
