VMIVME-7740 Single Board Pentium III Processor-Based VMEbus SBC

Introduction
　　VMIC’s VMIVME-7740 is a complete Pentium III processor-based computer with the additional benefits of single Eurocard construction and full compatibility with the VMEbus Specification Rev. C.1. The VMIVME-7740, with advanced VMEbus interface and RAM that is dual-ported to the VMEbus, is ideal for multiprocessor applications

　　The single CPU board functions as a standard PC/AT, executing a PC/AT-type power-on self-test, then boots up MS-DOS, Windows 95, Windows NT, or any other PC compatible operating system. The standard PC features of the VMIVME-7740 are

　　discussed in Chapter 3 of this manual.

　　The VMIVME-7740 also operates as a VMEbus controller and interacts with other VMEbus modules via the on-board PCI-to-VMEbus bridge and the Endian conversion hardware.

　　The VMIVME-7740 may be accessed as a VMEbus slave board. The VMEbus functions are available by programming the VMIVME-7740’s PCI-to-VMEbus bridge according

　　to the references defined in this volume and/or in the second volume dedicated to the optional PCI-to-VMEbus interface board titled: VMIVME-7740 Tundra Universe II™-Based VMEbus Interface Product Manual (document No. 500-007740-001). Throughout this manual, all references to the Universe II refer to the Universe IIB.

　　The VMIVME-7740 programmer may quickly and easily control all the VMEbus functions simply by linking to a library of VMEbus interrupt and control functions. This library is available with VMIC’s VMISFT-9420 IOWorks Access software for Windows NT users.

　　The VMIVME-7740 also provides capabilities beyond the features of a typical PC/AT-compatible SBC including general-purpose timers, a programmable Watchdog Timer, a bootable flash disk system, and nonvolatile SRAM. These features make the unit ideal for embedded applications. These nonstandard PC/AT functions are discussed in Chapter 4 of this manual

　　Organization of the Manual

　　This manual is composed of the following chapters and appendices:
       Chapter 1 - VMIVME-7740 Features and Options describes the features of the base unit followed by descriptions of the associated features of the unit in operation on a VMEbus.

　　Chapter 2 - Installation and Setup describes unpacking, inspection, hardware jumper settings, connector definitions, installation, system setup, and operation of the VMIVME-7740.

　　Chapter 3 - PC/AT Functions describes the unit design in terms of the standard PC memory and I/O maps, along with the standard interrupt architecture.

　　Chapter 4 - Embedded PC/RTOS Features describes the unit features that are beyond standard PC/AT functions.

　　Chapter 5 - Maintenance provides information relative to the care and maintenance of the unit.

　　Appendix A - Connector Pinouts illustrates and defines the connectors included in the unit’s I/O ports.

　　Appendix B - System Driver Software includes detailed instructions for installation of the drivers during installation of Windows 95, 98, 2000, or Windows NT (Version 4.0) operating systems.

　　Appendix C - Phoenix BIOS describes the menus and options associated with the Phoenix BIOS.

　　Appendix D - LANWorks BIOS describes the menus and options associated with the LANWorks BIOS.

　　Appendix D - Device Configuration: I/O and Interrupt Control provides the user with the information needed to develop custom applications such as the revision of the current BIOS configuration to a user-specific configuration.

　　Appendix E - Sample C Software provides a library of sample code the programmers may utilize to build the required application software for their system.
