Functional Characteristics

Microprocessor: The VMIVME-7750 brings the Intel Pentium III

processor to VME, offering processor speeds up to 1.26 GHz.  The

Pentium III processor has 32-bit addressing and a 64-bit data

bus.  Its superscalar architecture allows three instructions to be

executed per clock cycle.  A dynamic branch prediction unit,

separate instruction and data caches, and MMX™ technology

also increase the processor’s performance.  The Pentium III

processor also provides 256 Kbyte (1.26 GHz has 512 Kbyte) of

advanced transfer cache (on-die, full speed level 2 cache) using

dual independent bus architecture for high bandwidth and

performance.  This L2 cache operates at the same clock

frequency as the processor, thus improving performance

Ethernet Controller: The VMIVME-7750 supports Ethernet LANs

with two Intel Ethernet controllers (one 82559 and the other

internal to Intel’s chipset ICH2). 10BaseT and 100BaseTX options

are supported via two RJ45 connectors. Remote LAN booting is

supported.

Remote Ethernet Booting: The VMIVME-7750 utilizes Lanworks

Technologies, Inc.’s BootWare®. BootWare provides the ability to

remotely boot the VMIVME-7750 using NetWare, TCP/IP, or RPL

network protocols.

BootWare Features:

• NetWare, TCP/IP, RPL network protocol support

• Unparalleled boot sector virus protection

• Detailed boot configuration screens

• Comprehensive diagnostics

• Optional disabling of local boots

• Dual-boot option lets users select network or local booting

Serial Ports: Two 16550-compatible serial ports are featured on

the VMIVME-7750 front panel. The serial channel has a 16-b

FIFO to support baud rates up to 115 Kbaud. Requires two

micro-DB-9 to

standard DB-9 adapters, GE Fanuc P/N 360

010050-001.

Keyboard and Mouse Ports: The VMIVME-7750 has a comb

PS/2 keyb

oard and mouse connector. A Y-adapter cable is

included.

Flash Memory: The VMIVME-7750 provides up to 1 Gbyte of IDE

CompactFlash memory accessible through the secondary ID

port. The VMIVME-7750 BIOS includes a

board to boot from the Flash memory.

n option to allow the

Timers: The VMIVME-7750 provides the user with two 16-bit

timers and two 32-bit timers (in addition to system timers).

These timers are mapped i

software programmable.

Watchdog Timer: The VMIVME-7750 provides a software

programmable watchdog timer. The watchdog timer is enabled

under software control. Once the watchdog timer is enabled,

software must access the timer within the specified timer period

or a timeout will occur. A user jumper allows the timeout to

cause a reset. Independent of the jumper, software can enable

the watchdog timeout to caus

e a nonmaskable interrupt (NMI)

or a VMEbus SYSFAIL.

Nonvolatile SRAM: The VMIVME-7750 provides 32 Kbyte of

nonvolatile SRAM. The contents of the SRAM are pres

+5V power is interrupted or removed from the unit.

PMC Expansion Site: The VMIVME-7750 supports IEEE P1386

common mezzanine card specification with a 5V PCI mezzanin

card (PMC) expansion site. The PMC site provides for standard

I/O out the VMEbus front panel. An optional I/

O connection to

the VMEbus P2 connection can be provided.

Contact GE Fanuc Embedded Systems for more informa

concerning PMC modules and compatibility.

Universal Serial Bus (USB): The VMIVME-7750 provides a front

panel dual connection hub host controller for the USB.

Supported USB features include: isochronous data transfers,

asynchronous messaging, self-identification an

of peripherals, and dynamic (hot) attachment.

VMEbus Interface: The VMIVME-7750 VMEbus interface is based

on the Universe IIB hi

gh performance PCI-to-VME interface from

Newbridge/Tundra.

System Controller: The VMEbus system controller capabilities

allow the board to operate as a slot 1 controller, or it may be

disabled when another board is acting as the system contro

The system controller may be p

rogrammed to provide the

following modes of

Round Robin (RRS)

Single Level (S

GL)

Priority (PRI)

The system controller provides a SYSCLK driver, IACK* daisy

chain driver, and a VMEbus access timeout timer. The system

controller also provides an arbitration timeout if BBSY* is not

seen within a specified period after a BGOUT* signal is issued.

This period is programmable for 16 or 256 µs.

VMEbus Requester: The microprocessor can request and gain

control of the bus using any of the VMEbus request lines (BR3*

to BR0*) under software control. The requester can be

programmed to operate in any of the following modes:

Release-On-Request (ROR)

Release-When-Done (RWD)

VMEbus Capture and Hold (BCAP)
