For further details on endian considerations, refer to the MVME2400 Series VME Processor Module Programmer’s Reference Guide. Processor/Memory Domain The MPC750 processor can operate in both big-endian and little-endian mode.

  • Page 89: Vmebus Domain

    In little-endian mode, however, software must take the byte-swapping effect of the Universe ASIC and the address reverse-rearranging effect of the PHB into account. For further details on endian considerations, refer to the MVME2400 Series VME Processor Module Programmer’s Reference Guide. http://www.motorola.com/computer/literature 4-11...

    PPCBug After the debugger executes the command, the prompt reappears. However, if the command causes execution of user target code (for example GO) then control may or may not return to the debugger, depending on what the user program does. For example, if a breakpoint has been specified, then control returns to the debugger when the breakpoint is encountered during execution of the user program.

Temperature qualification is performed in a standard Motorola VMEsystem chassis. Twenty-five-watt load boards are inserted in two card slots (one on each side adjacent to the board under test) to simulate a high power density system configuration.

    Specifications While the exact amount of airflow required for cooling depends on the ambient air temperature and the type, number, and location of boards and other heat sources, adequate cooling can usually be achieved with 10 CFM and 490 LFM flowing over the module. Less airflow is required to cool the module in environments having lower maximum ambients.
