MVME7100 Single Board Computer Installation and Use (6806800E08A)  
Safety Notes  
Operation  
Product Damage  
High humidity and condensation on the board surface causes short circuits.  
Do not operate the board outside the specified environmental limits.  
Make sure the board is completely dry and there is no moisture on any surface before  
applying power.  
Damage of Circuits  
Electrostatic discharge and incorrect installation and removal can damage circuits or  
shorten their life.  
Before touching the board or electronic components, make sure that you are working in  
an ESD-safe environment.  
Board Malfunction  
Switches marked as “reserved” might carry production-related functions and can cause  
the board to malfunction if their setting is changed.  
Do not change settings of switches marked as “reserved”. The setting of switches which  
are not marked as “reserved” has to be checked and changed before board installation.  
Installation  
Data Loss  
Powering down or removing a board before the operating system or other software  
running on the board has been properly shut down may cause corruption of data or file  
systems.  
Make sure all software is completely shut down before removing power from the board  
or removing the board from the chassis.  
Product Damage  
Only use injector handles for board insertion to avoid damage to the front panel and/or  
PCB. Deformation of the front panel can cause an electrical short or other board  
malfunction.  
Product Damage  
Inserting or removing modules with power applied may result in damage to module  
components.

Make sure that TPE connectors near your working area are clearly marked as  
network connectors.  
Verify that the length of an electric cable connected to a TPE bushing does not  
exceed 100 meters.  
Make sure the TPE bushing of the system is connected only to safety extra low  
voltage circuits (SELV circuits).  
If in doubt, ask your system administrator.  
Battery  
Board/System Damage  
Incorrect exchange of lithium batteries can result in a hazardous explosion.  
When exchanging the on-board lithium battery, make sure that the new and the old  
battery are exactly the same battery models.  
If the respective battery model is not available, contact your local Emerson sales  
representative for the availability of alternative, officially approved battery models.  
Data Loss  
Exchanging the battery can result in loss of time settings. Backup power prevents the  
loss of data during exchange.  
Quickly replacing the battery may save time settings.  
Data Loss  
If the battery has low or insufficient power the RTC is initialized.  
Exchange the battery before seven years of actual battery use have elapsed.  
PCB and Battery Holder Damage  
Removing the battery with a screw driver may damage the PCB or the battery holder. To  
prevent damage, do not use a screw driver to remove the battery from its holder.

page 40 for configuration switch settings.  
2.5 Installing Accessories  
This section describes the procedures for installing the MVME7216E transition module, PMCs,  
and the XMCspan on the baseboard.  
2.5.1  
Transition Module  
The MVME7216E does not support hot swap, You should remove power to the rear slot or  
system before installing the module. Before installing the MVME7216E transition module, you  
may need to manually configure the switch and install a PMC I/O Module (PIM). Refer to  
Chapter 5, Transition Module, for switch settings and PIM installation.  
Damage of Circuits  
Electrostatic discharge and incorrect installation and removal can damage circuits or  
shorten their life.  
Before touching the board or electronic components, make sure that you are working  
in an ESD-safe environment.  
Product Damage  
Only use injector handles for board insertion to avoid damage to the front panel  
and/or PCB. Deformation of the front panel can cause an electrical short or other  
board malfunction.  
Board Malfunction  
Switches marked as “reserved” might carry production-related functions and can  
cause the board to malfunction if their setting is changed.  
Do not change settings of switches marked as “reserved”. The setting of switches  
which are not marked as “reserved” has to be checked and changed before board  
installation.

PMC  
Hardware Preparation and Installation  
Installation and Removal Procedure  
To begin the installation of the transition module in a chassis, proceed as follows:  
1. Turn all equipment power OFF and disconnect the power cable from the AC power  
source.  
2. Remove the chassis cover as instructed in the equipment user's manual.  
3. Remove the filler panel(s) from the appropriate card slot(s) at the rear of the chassis  
(if the chassis has a rear card cage).  
4. Install the top and bottom edge of the transition module into the rear guides of the  
chassis.  
5. Ensure that the levers of the two injector/ejectors are in the outward position.  
6. Slide the transition module into the chassis until resistance is felt.  
7. Simultaneously move the injector/ejector levers in an inward direction.  
8. Verify that the transition module is properly seated and secure it to the chassis using  
the two screws located adjacent to the injector/ejector levers.  
9. Connect the appropriate cables to the transition module.  
To remove the transition module from the chassis, reverse the procedure and press the red  
locking tabs (IEEE handles only) to extract the board.  
2.5.2  
PMC  
The PMC connectors are placed to support two single-width PMCs or one double-width PMC.  
PMC site 1 supports front PMC I/O and rear PMC I/O via the Jn4 connector. PMC 1 I/O is routed  
to the VME P2 connector. PMC site 2 only supports front PMC I/O and does not have a Jn4  
connector. The PMC 1 Jn4 user I/O signals only support low-current high-speed signals and  
thus do not support current-bearing power supply usage.  
In most cases, the PMCs are already in place on the baseboard. The user-configured switches  
are accessible with the PMCs installed. The onboard PMC sites are configured to support +3.3  
V I/O PMC modules. The onboard PMC sites do not support +5.0 V I/O PMC modules.  
Follow these steps to install a PMC onto the MVME7100 board.

I2C Serial Interface and Devices  
Functional Description  
The MVME7100 supports the power-on reset (POR) pin sampling method for processor reset  
configuration. The states of the various configuration pins on the processor are sampled when  
reset is de-asserted to determine the desired operating modes. Combinations of pull-up and  
pull-down resistors are used to set the options. Some options are fixed and some are selectable  
at build time by installing the proper pull-up/pull-down resistor. Refer to the MC864xD reference  
manual, listed in Appendix B, Related Documentation, Manufacturers’ Documents on page 101  
for additional details and/or programming information.

Functional Description  
Timers  
4.6 Timers  
Timing functions for the MVME7100 are provided by four global high-resolution timers  
integrated into the MC864xD plus four additional independent 32-bit timers.  
The four integrated 32-bit timers are clocked by the RTC input which is driven by a 1 MHz clock.  
Refer to the MC864xD reference manual, listed in Appendix B, Related Documentation,  
Manufacturers’ Documents on page 101 for additional details and/or programming information  
The clock source for the four 32-bit timers in the PLD is 25 MHz. The timer prescaler must be  
configured to generate a 1 MHz timer reference. For programming information, see MVME7100  
Single Board Computer Programmer’s Reference.  
4.7 Ethernet Interfaces  
The MVME7100 provides four 10/100/1000 Mbps full-duplex Ethernet interfaces using the  
MC864xD Ethernet Controllers. Two Broadcom BCM5482S PHYs are used. The Ethernet ports  
on the MC864xD are configured to operate in RGMII mode. Two Gigabit Ethernet interfaces are  
routed to front panel RJ-45 connectors with integrated LEDs for speed and activity indication.  
The other two Gigabit Ethernet interfaces are routed to P2 for rear I/O. For programming  
information, see MVME7100 Single Board Computer Programmer’s Reference.  
4.8 Local Bus Interface  
The MVME7100 uses the MC864xD Local Bus Controller (LBC) for access to on-board flash  
and I/O registers. The LBC has programmable timing modes to support devices of different  
access times, as well as device widths of 8, 16, and 32 bits. The MVME7100 uses the LBC in  
GPCM mode to interface to two physical banks of on-board flash, an on-board Quad UART  
(QUART), an MRAM, and on-board 32-bit timers along with control/status registers. Access  
timing for each device type is programmable and depends on the device timing data found in  
the VPD during initialization.  
A hardware flash bank write protect switch is provided on the MVME7100 to enable write  
protection of the NOR Flash. Regardless of the state of the software flash write protect bit in the  
NOR Flash Control/Status register, write protection is enabled when this switch is ON. When  
this switch is OFF, write protection is controlled by the state of the software flash write protect  
bits and can only be disabled by clearing this bit in the NOR Flash Control/Status register. Note  
that the F_WE_HW bit reflects the state of the switch and is only software readable whereas  
the F_WP_SW bit supports both read and write operations.  
The MVME7100 provides a dual boot option for booting from one of two separate boot images  
in the boot flash bank which are referred to as boot block A and boot block B. Boot blocks A and  
B are each 1 MB in size and are located at the top (highest address) 2 MB of the boot flash  
memory space. Block A is located at the highest 1 MB block and block B is the next highest 1  
MB block. A flash boot block switch is used to select between boot block A and boot block B.  
When the switch is OFF, the flash memory map is normal and block A is selected as shown in  
Figure 3. When the switch is ON, block B is mapped to the highest address as shown in Figure  
4. The MAP_SELECT bit in the flash Control/Status register can disable the jumper and restore  
the memory map to the normal configuration with block A selected.

Functional Description  
DUART Interface  
4.9 DUART Interface  
The MVME7100 provides a front access asynchronous serial port interface using Serial Port 0  
from the MC864xD DUART. The TTL-level signals SIN, SOUT, RTS and CTS from Serial Port  
0 are routed through on-board RS-232 drivers and receivers to the mini DB-9 front panel  
connector.  
4.10 PCI-E Port 0  
One 8x PCI-E port from the MC864xD processor is connected to a five port PEX8533 PCI-E  
switch. Each downstream port from the PCI-E switch is connected to a PCI/PCI-X bridge. The  
MVME7100 implements four separate PCI/PCI-X bus segments.  
PCI-X bus 1 connects to PMC site 1 using a PEX8114 bridge and is configured dynamically,  
with onboard logic, to operate in 33/66 MHz PCI or 66/100 MHz PCI-X mode depending on the  
PMC installed.  
PCI-X bus 2 connects to PMC site 2 using a PEX8114 bridge and is configured dynamically,  
with onboard logic, to operate in 33/66 MHz PCI or 66/100 MHz PCI-X mode depending on the  
PMC installed.  
PCI-X bus 3 connects to the Tsi148 using a PEX8114 bridge and is configured for 133 MHz  
PCI-X mode.  
PCI bus 4 connects to the USB controller using a PEX8112 bridge and is configured for 33 MHz  
PCI mode since the USB controller is only 33 MHz capable.  
4.10.1 VME Controller  
The VMEbus interface for the MVME7100 is provided by the Tsi148 VMEbus controller. The  
Tsi148 provides the required VME, VME extensions, and 2eSST functions. TI  
SN74VMEH22501 transceivers are used to buffer the VME signals between the Tsi148 and the  
VME backplane. Refer to the Tsi148 user's manual for additional details and/or programming  
information.  
4.10.2 USB  
The NEC uPD720101 USB 2.0 Host Controller provides USB ports with integrated transceivers  
for connectivity with any USB compliant device or hub. USB channel 1 is routed to a single USB  
connector located at the front panel. DC power to the front panel USB port is supplied via a USB  
power switch which provides soft-start, current limiting, over current detection, and power  
enable for port 1. Refer to the uPD720101 datasheet for additional details and/or programming  
information.

XMC Expansion  
Functional Description  
4.11 XMC Expansion  
The MVME7100 provides an additional XMC/PMC module capability through the use of a 78-  
pin stacking connector. This connector is connected to the second PCI Express port on the  
processor. Up to four additional XMC/PMC modules may be added by using two expansion  
boards. Refer to the XMCspan datasheet for additional details and/or programming information.  
4.12 Power Supplies  
The MVME7100 on-board voltages will be generated using Linear Tech LTC3828 dual output  
two phase controllers and LTC3416 single output controllers. The following sections detail the  
MVME7100 power requirements.  
4.12.1 Power Sequencing  
In order to meet the power sequencing requirements of the various components on the  
MVME7100, the power supply controllers implement voltage tracking which allows the power  
supply outputs to track each other coincidentally during power up and power down. The +3.3 V  
supply output will be used as the tracking reference. All supply outputs will reach their final  
values within 20 milliseconds during power up.  
4.12.2 Power Supply Monitor  
Logic is provided on-board to monitor the PGOOD signal from the LTC3828 and LTC3416  
regulators to determine if the power supply outputs are within tolerance. If any of the power  
supplies fail, this logic shuts off the power supplies to avoid any component damage. If the +5.0  
V power supply is still good during a fail condition, a planar red LED (PWR FAIL D9) is  
illuminated to indicate the power supply fail condition.  
4.12.3 Power Supply Filtering and Fusing  
Each of the switching power supply inputs on the MVME7100 will have an inductor to reduce  
switching noise from being fed back onto the +5.0 V input. The LTC3828 supplies will each have  
a 10 A fuse to protect the supplies from over-current in case of component failure.  
4.13 Clock Distribution  
The clock function generates and distributes all of the clocks required for system operation. The  
PCI-E clocks are generated using an eight output differential clock driver. The PCI/PCI-X bus  
clocks are generated by the bridge chips from the PCI-E clock. Additional clocks required by  
individual devices are generated near the devices using individual oscillators. For clock  
assignments, refer to the MVME7100 Single Board Computer Programmer’s Reference  
manual.

5.6 PMC Input/Output Module  
If a PMC Input/output Module (PIM) has already been installed on the MVME7216E, or you are  
installing a transition module as it has been shipped from the factory, disregard this procedure  
and refer to Transition Module on page 40.  
Procedure  
For PIM installation, perform the following steps:  
1. Attach an ESD strap to your wrist. Attach the other end of the ESD strap to the  
chassis as a ground. The ESD strap must be secured to your wrist and to ground  
throughout the procedure.  
2. Carefully remove the transition module from its packaging and lay it flat on a stable  
surface.  
3. Remove the PIM filler from the front panel of the transition module.  
4. Slide the face plate (front bezel) of the PIM module into the front panel opening from  
behind and place the PIM module on top of the transition module, aligned with the  
appropriate two PIM connectors. The two connectors on the underside of the PIM  
module should then connect smoothly with the corresponding connectors on the  
transition module (J10 and J14).  
5. Insert the four short Phillips screws, provided with the PIM, through the holes on the  
bottom side of the transition module into the PIM front bezel and rear standoffs.  
Tighten the screws.  
Refer to the following figure for proper screw/board alignment. The example below  
may not accurately represent your MVME7100.

MOTLoad Firmware  
6
6.1 Overview  
The MOTLoad firmware package serves as a board power-up and initialization package, as well  
as a vehicle from which user applications can be booted. A secondary function of the MOTLoad  
firmware is to serve in some respects as a test suite providing individual tests for certain  
devices. This chapter includes a list of standard MOTLoad commands, the default VME and  
firmware settings that are changeable by the user, remote start, and the alternate boot  
procedure.  
MOTLoad is controlled through an easy-to-use, UNIX-like, command line interface. The  
MOTLoad software package is similar to many end-user applications designed for the  
embedded market, such as the real time operating systems currently available.  
Refer to the MOTLoad Firmware Package User’s Manual, listed in Appendix B, Related  
Documentation, for more details.  
6.2 Implementation and Memory Requirements  
The implementation of MOTLoad and its memory requirements are product specific. The  
MVME7100 single-board computer (SBC) is offered with a range of memory (for example,  
DRAM or flash). Typically, the smallest amount of on-board DRAM that a SBC has is 32 MB.  
Each supported product line has its own unique MOTLoad binary image(s). Currently the  
largest MOTLoad compressed image is less than 1 MB in size.  
6.3 MOTLoad Commands  
MOTLoad supports two types of commands (applications): utilities and tests. Both types of  
commands are invoked from the MOTLoad command line in a similar fashion. Beyond that,  
MOTLoad utilities and MOTLoad tests are distinctly different.  
6.3.1  
Utilities  
The definition of a MOTLoad utility application is very broad. Simply stated, it is considered a  
MOTLoad command if it is not a MOTLoad test. Typically, MOTLoad utility applications are  
applications that aid the user in some way (that is, they do something useful). From the  
perspective of MOTLoad, examples of utility applications are: configuration, data/status  
displays, data manipulation, help routines, data/status monitors, etc.  
81  
MVME7100 Single Board Computer Installation and Use (6806800E08A)  
MOTLoad Firmware  
Tests  
Operationally, MOTLoad utility applications differ from MOTLoad test applications in several  
ways:  
z
Only one utility application operates at any given time (that is, multiple utility applications  
cannot be executing concurrently).  
z
Utility applications may interact with the user. Most test applications do not.  
6.3.2  
Tests  
A MOTLoad test application determines whether or not the hardware meets a given standard.  
Test applications are validation tests. Validation is conformance to a specification. Most  
MOTLoad tests are designed to directly validate the functionality of a specific SBC subsystem  
or component. It is possible for a board's component to fail in the user application but pass  
specification conformance. These tests validate the operation of such SBC modules as:  
dynamic memory, external cache, NVRAM, real time clock, etc.  
All MOTLoad tests are designed to validate functionality with minimum user interaction. Once  
launched, most MOTLoad tests operate automatically without any user interaction. There are a  
few tests where the functionality being validated requires user interaction (that is, switch tests,  
interactive plug-in hardware modules, etc.). Most MOTLoad test results (error-data/status-data)  
are logged, not printed. Test results are not preserved and therefore not available to user  
applications subsequent to their execution. All MOTLoad tests/commands have complete and  
separate descriptions (refer to the MOTLoad Firmware Package User’s Manual for this  
information).  
All devices that are available to MOTLoad for validation/verification testing are represented by  
a unique device path string. Most MOTLoad tests require the operator to specify a test device  
at the MOTLoad command line when invoking the test.  
A listing of all device path strings can be displayed through the devShowcommand. If an SBC  
device does not have a device path string, it is not supported by MOTLoad and can not be  
directly tested. There are a few exceptions to the device path string requirement, like testing  
RAM, which is not considered a true device and can be directly tested without a device path  
string. Refer to the devShowcommand description page in the MOTLoad Firmware Package  
User’s Manual.  
Most MOTLoad tests can be organized to execute as a group of related tests (a testSuite)  
through the use of the testSuitecommand. The expert operator can customize their testing  
by defining and creating a custom testSuite(s). The list of built-in and user-defined MOTLoad  
testSuites, and their test contents, can be obtained by entering testSuite -dat the  
MOTLoad prompt. All testSuites that are included as part of a product specific MOTLoad  
firmware package are product specific. For more information, refer to the testSuite  
command description page in the MOTLoad Firmware Package User’s Manual.  
Test results and test status are obtained through the testStatus, errorDisplay, and  
taskActivecommands. Refer to the appropriate command description page in the MOTLoad  
Firmware Package User’s Manual for more information.

6.4 Using the Command Line Interface  
Interaction with MOTLoad is performed via a command line interface through a serial port on  
the single board computer, which is connected to a terminal or terminal emulator (for example,  
Window’s Hypercomm). The default MOTLoad serial port settings are: 9600 baud, 8 bits, no  
parity.  
86  
MVME7100 Single Board Computer Installation and Use (6806800E08A)  
Using the Command Line Interface  
MOTLoad Firmware  
The MOTLoad command line interface is similar to a UNIX command line shell interface.  
Commands are initiated by entering a valid MOTLoad command (a text string) at the MOTLoad  
command line prompt and pressing the carriage-return key to signify the end of input. MOTLoad  
then performs the specified action. An example of a MOTLoad command line prompt is shown  
below. The MOTLoad prompt changes according to what product it is used on (for example,  
MVME6100, MVME3100, MVME7100).  
Example:  
MVME7100>  
If an invalid MOTLoad command is entered at the MOTLoad command line prompt, MOTLoad  
displays a message that the command was not found.  
Example:  
MVME7100> mytest  
"mytest" not found  
MVME7100>  
If the user enters a partial MOTLoad command string that can be resolved to a unique valid  
MOTLoad command and presses the carriage-return key, the command is executed as if the  
entire command string had been entered. This feature is a user-input shortcut that minimizes  
the required amount of command line input. MOTLoad is an ever changing firmware package,  
so user-input shortcuts may change as command additions are made.  
Example:  
MVME7100>[ver]sion  
Copyright: Motorola Inc.1999-2005, All Rights Reserved

Mon Aug 29 15:24:13 MST 2005  
MVME7100>  
If the partial command string cannot be resolved to a single unique command, MOTLoad  
informs the user that the command was ambiguous.  
Example:  
MVME7100> te  
"te" ambiguous  
MVME7100>

Rules  
6.4.1  
Rules  
There are a few things to remember when entering a MOTLoad command:  
z
Multiple commands are permitted on a single command line, provided they are separated  
by a single semicolon (;).  
z
z
z
z
z
Spaces separate the various fields on the command line (command/arguments/options).  
The argument/option identifier character is always preceded by a hyphen (-) character.  
Options are identified by a single character.  
Option arguments immediately follow (no spaces) the option.  
All commands, command options, and device tree strings are case sensitive.  
Example:  
MVME7100> flashProgram –d/dev/flash0 –n00100000  
For more information on MOTLoad operation and function, refer to the MOTLoad Firmware  
Package User’s Manual.  
6.4.2  
Help  
Each MOTLoad firmware package has an extensive, product-specific help facility that can be  
accessed through the helpcommand. The user can enter helpat the MOTLoad command  
line to display a complete listing of all available tests and utilities.  
Example  
MVME7100> help  
For help with a specific test or utility the user can enter the following at the MOTLoad prompt:  
help <command_name>  
The helpcommand also supports a limited form of pattern matching. Refer to the help  
command page.  
Example  
MVME7100> help testRam  
Usage: testRam [-aPh] [-bPh] [-iPd] [-nPh] [-tPd] [-v]  
Description: RAM Test [Directory]  
Argument/Option Description  
-a Ph: Address to Start (Default = Dynamic Allocation)  
-b Ph: Block Size (Default = 16KB)

6.5 Firmware Settings  
The following sections provide additional information pertaining to the MVME7100 VME bus  
interface settings as configured by MOTLoad. A few VME settings are controlled by hardware  
jumpers while the majority of the VME settings are managed by the firmware command utility  
vmeCfg.  
VME settings in MOTLoad are preserved through the use of Global Environment  
Variables (GEVs). Configuration GEVs are executed only at power-on reset. Therefore,  
if VME configuration changes are implemented through vmeCfg and board reset must  
be effected for the changes to be implemented in MOTLoad.  
6.5.1  
Default VME Settings  
As shipped from the factory, the MVME7100 has the following VME configuration programmed  
via Global Environment Variables (GEVs) for the Tsi148 VME controller. The firmware allows  
certain VME settings to be changed in order for the user to customize the environment. The  
following is a description of the default VME settings that are changeable by the user. For more  
information, refer to the MOTLoad User’s Manual and Tundra’s Tsi148 User Manual, listed in  
Appendix B, Related Documentation.

6.6 Remote Start  
As described in the MOTLoad Firmware Package User's Manual, listed in Appendix B, Related  
Documentation, remote start allows the user to obtain information about the target board,  
download code and/or data, modify memory on the target, and execute a downloaded program.  
These transactions occur across the VMEbus in the case of the MVME7100. MOTLoad uses  
one of four mailboxes in the Tsi148 VME controller as the inter-board communication address  
(IBCA) between the host and the target.  
CR/CSR slave addresses configured by MOTLoad are assigned according to the installation  
slot in the backplane, as indicated by the VME64 Specification. For reference, the following  
values are provided:  
CS/CSR Starting Address  
Slot Position  
0x0008.0000

For further details on CR/CSR space, please refer to the VME64 Specification, listed in  
Appendix B, Related Documentation.  
The MVME7100 uses a TSi148 for its PCI/X-to-VME bus bridge. The offsets of the mailboxes  
in the TSi148 are defined in the TSi148 VMEBus PCI/X-to-VME User Manual, listed in  
Appendix B, Related Documentation, but are noted here for reference:  
Mailbox 0 is at offset 7f610 in the CR/CSR space  
Mailbox 1 is at offset 7f614 in the CR/CSR space  
Mailbox 2 is at offset 7f618 in the CR/CSR space  
Mailbox 3 is at offset 7f61C in the CR/CSR space  
The selection of the mailbox used by remote start on an individual MVME7100 is determined  
by the setting of a global environment variable (GEV). The default mailbox is zero. Another GEV  
controls whether remote start is enabled (default) or disabled. Refer to the Remote Start  
appendix in the MOTLoad Firmware Package User's Manual for remote start GEV definitions.  
The MVME7100’s IBCA needs to be mapped appropriately through the master’s VMEbus  
bridge. For example, to use remote start using mailbox 0 on an MVME7100 installed in slot 5,  
the master would need a mapping to support reads and writes of address 0x002ff610 in VME  
CR/CSR space (0x280000 + 0x7f610).  
6.7 Boot Images  
Valid boot images whether POST, USER, or Alternate MOTLoad, are located on 1 MB  
boundaries within the upper 8 MB of flash. The image may exceed 1 MB in size. An image is  
determined valid through the presence of two "valid image keys" and other sanity checks. A  
valid boot image begins with a structure as defined in the following table:

Checksum Algorithm  
The checksum algorithm is a simple unsigned word add of each word (4 byte) location in the  
image. The image must be a multiple of 4 bytes in length (word-aligned). The content of the  
checksum location in the header is not part of the checksum calculation. The calculation  
assumes the location to be zero. The algorithm is implemented using the following code:  
Unsigned int checksum(  
Unsigned int *startPtr,/* starting address */  
Unsigned int endPtr/* ending address */  
) {  
unsigned int checksum=0;  
while (startPtr < endPtr) {  
checksum += *startPtr;  
startPtr++;  
}
return(checksum);  
}
6.7.2  
Image Flags  
The image flags of the header define various bit options that control how the image will be  
executed.

If set, this flag indicates that the image is to be copied to RAM at the address specified in  
the header before control is passed. If not set, the image will be executed in flash. In both  
instances, control will be passed at the image offset specified in the header from the base  
of the image.  
z
IMAGE_MCG  
If set, this flag defines the image as being an Alternate MOTLoad, as opposed to USER,  
image. This bit should not be set by developers of alternate boot images.  
95

MOTLoad Firmware  
User Images  
z
IMAGE_POST  
If set, this flag defines the image as being a power-on self-test image. This bit flag is used  
to indicate that the image is a diagnostic and should be run prior to running either USER or  
MCG boot images. POST images are expected, but not required, to return to the boot block  
code upon completion.  
z
DONT_AUTO_RUN  
If set, this flag indicates that the image is not to be selected for automatic execution. A user,  
through the interactive command facility, may specify the image to be executed.  
MOTLoad currently uses an Image Flag value of 0x3, which identifies itself as an  
Alternate MOTLoad image that executes from RAM. MOTLoad currently does not  
support execution from flash.

void flashPtr;/* ptr to this image in flash */  
char boardType[16];/* name string, eg MVME7100 */  
void globalData;/* 16K, zeroed, user defined */  
unsigned int reserved[12];  
} altBootData_t;

Alternate Boot Data Structure  
MOTLoad Firmware  
6.7.4  
Alternate Boot Data Structure  
The globalData field of the alternate boot data structure points to an area of RAM which was  
initialized to zeroes by the boot loader. This area of RAM is not cleared by the boot loader after  
execution of a POST image, or other alternate boot image, is executed. It is intended to provide  
a user a mechanism to pass POST image results to subsequent boot images.  
The boot loader performs no other initialization of the board than that specified prior to the  
transfer of control to either a POST, USER, or Alternate MOTLoad image. Alternate boot  
images need to initialize the board to whatever state the image may further require for its  
execution.  
POST images are expected, but not required, to return to the boot loader. Upon return, the boot  
loader proceeds with the scan for an executable alternate boot image. POST images that return  
control to the boot loader must ensure that upon return, the state of the board is consistent with  
the state that the board was in at POST entry. USER images should not return control to the  
boot loader.  
6.7.5  
6.7.6  
Alternate Boot Images and Safe Start  
Some later versions of MOTLoad support alternate boot images and a safe start recovery  
procedure. If safe start is available on the MVME7100, alternate boot images are supported.  
With alternate boot image support, the boot loader code in the boot block examines the upper  
8 MB of the flash bank for alternate boot images. If an image is found, control is passed to the  
image.  
Boot Image Firmware Scan  
The scan is performed by examining each 1 MB boundary for a defined set of flags that identify  
the image as being POST, USER, or Alternate MOTLoad. POST is a user-developed Power On  
Self Test that would perform a set of diagnostics and then return to the boot loader image.  
USER would be a boot image, such as the VxWorks bootrom, which would perform board  
initialization. A bootable VxWorks kernel would also be a USER image. Boot images are not  
restricted to being 1 MB or less in size; however, they must begin on a 1 MB boundary within  
the 8 MB of the scanned flash bank. The flash bank structure is shown below:  
Address  
Usage  
0xFFF00000 to 0xFFFFFFFF  
0xFFE00000 to 0XFFFFFFFF  
0xFFD00000 to 0xFFDFFFFF

Alternate boot images  
0xFF899999 to 0xFF8FFFFF  
Bottom of flash (flash size varies per product)  
The scan is performed downwards beginning at the location of the first possible alternate image  
and searches first for POST, then USER, and finally Alternate MOTLoad images. In the case of  
multiple images of the same type, control is passed to the first image encountered in the scan.

Startup Sequence  
Safe Start, whether invoked by hitting ESC on the console within the first five seconds following  
power-on reset or by setting the Safe Start jumper, interrupts the scan process. The user may  
then display the available boot images and select the desired image. The feature is provided to  
enable recovery in cases when the programmed Alternate Boot Image is no longer desired. The  
following output is an example of an interactive Safe Start:

Search the active flash bank, possibly interactively, for a valid USER boot image. If found,  
the USER boot image executes. A return to the boot block code is not anticipated.  
If a valid USER boot image is not found, search the active flash bank, possibly interactively,  
for a valid Alternate MOTLoad boot image; anticipated to be an upgrade of alternate  
MOTLoad firmware. If found, the image is executed. A return to the boot block code is not  
anticipated.  
z
Execute the recovery image of the firmware in the boot block if no valid USER or alternate  
MOTLoad image is found  
During startup, interactive mode may be entered by either setting the Safe Start jumper/switch  
or by sending an <ESC>to the console serial port within five seconds of the board reset. During  
interactive mode, the user has the option to display locations at which valid boot images were  
discovered, specify which discovered image is to be executed, or specify that the recovery  
image in the boot block of the active flash bank is to be executed.

MVME7100 Single Board Computer Installation and Use (6806800E08A)  
Battery Exchange  
Battery Exchange  
The battery provides data retention of seven years summing up all periods of actual data use.  
Emerson therefore assumes that there usually is no need to exchange the battery except, for  
example, in case of long-term spare part handling.  
Board/System Damage  
Incorrect exchange of lithium batteries can result in a hazardous explosion.  
When exchanging the on-board lithium battery, make sure that the new and the old  
battery are exactly the same battery models.  
If the respective battery model is not available, contact your local Emerson sales  
representative for the availability of alternative, officially approved battery models.  
Data Loss  
Exchanging the battery can result in loss of time settings. Backup power prevents the  
loss of data during exchange.  
Quickly replacing the battery may save time settings.  
Data Loss  
If the battery has low or insufficient power the RTC is initialized.  
Exchange the battery before seven years of actual battery use have elapsed.  
PCB and Battery Holder Damage  
Removing the battery with a screw driver may damage the PCB or the battery holder.  
To prevent damage, do not use a screw driver to remove the battery from its holder.  
Exchange Procedure  
To exchange the battery, proceed as follows:  
1. Remove the old battery.  
2. Install the new battery with the plus sign (+) facing up.  
3. Dispose of the old battery according to your country’s legislation and in an  
environmentally safe way.
