PMC expansion combined with a high-performance VME processor

The MVME2600 series is a family of VME processor modules based on the Motorola 

PowerPlus VME architecture with PowerPC architecture-compatible microprocessors. 

The flexibility of the MVME2600 provides an excellent base platform that can be 

quickly and easily customized for a variety of industry-specific applications.

Designed to meet the needs of military and aerospace, industrial automation, and 

medical imaging market segments, the MVME2600 applies to a variety of applications. 

DRAM expansion mezzanines enable memory upgrades to the maximum 512MB of 

ECC DRAM without requiring additional VME slots.

PCI Expansion

MVME2600 modules have a 64-bit PCI connection to 

support PCI expansion carriers such as Motorola 

PMCspan. Design details for the connector and electrical 

specifications are available from your local Motorola 

sales representative.

Memory Modules

The MVME2600 series has a modular memory design. 

Mezzanine arrays support up to 512MB.

Transition Modules

Two artwork variants of the MVME2600 are available. 

One series provides backward compatibility with the 

MVME712M transition module I/O, while the other 

series accepts the MVME761 transition module 

featuring an additional sync/async serial port, a 

10/100BaseTX Ethernet interface, Fast 16-bit SCSI, and 

an IEEE 1284 compatible parallel port.

MVME761

The MVME761 transition module provides 

industry-standard connector access to the IEEE 1284 

parallel port, a 10BaseT or 100BaseTX Ethernet 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 face plate of the 

MVME761, are individually user configurable as 

EIA-232, EIA-530, V.35, or X.21 DCE/DTE via the 

installation of Motorola serial interface modules (SIMs).

A P2 adapter provides interface module signals to the 

MVME761 transition module. The 3-row P2 adapter can 

be used for 8-bit SCSI. A 5-row P2 adapter supports 

16-bit SCSI and PMC I/O.

MVME712M

The MVME712M transition module provides 

industry-standard connector access to the Centronics 

parallel port, an AUI 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 provides interface signals to the 

MVME712M transition module. The 3-row P2 adapter 

can be used 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 and extends its 

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

Several other variations of the MVME712M are 

available for combinations of I/O and connectors.

Firmware Monitor

Firmware must fulfill the traditional functions of test and 

initialization, in addition to operating system boot 

support. The MVME2600 firmware monitor exceeds 

these requirements with a proven monitor from the 

embedded VME leader. It expands features like 

power-up tests with extensive diagnostics, as well as a 

powerful evaluation and debug tool for simple checkout 

or when high-level development debuggers require 

additional support. All this is included with the 

MVME2600 firmware, plus it supports booting both 

operating systems and kernels.
