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.
