Overview Manuals Specifications Architecture Interfaces Installation

Features:

  • 1 GHz MPC7455 PowerPC processor with 256KB L2 and 2MB L3 cache
  • 512MB PC133 ECC SDRAM expandable to 1GB with the documented memory mezzanine
  • IEEE front-panel handles with VME64 and dual 33/66 MHz PMC resources
The MVME5500-0163 ordering code identifies the 1 GHz MPC7455 and 512MB SDRAM configuration fitted with IEEE front-panel handles.

Motorola balances processor and memory throughput with dual 64-bit PCI buses, two PMC sites, a Universe II VME interface, Gigabit Ethernet, 10/100BaseTX Ethernet, and serial resources.

Confirm the P2 jumper mode, PMC or IPMC hardware, transition-module routing, voltage keying, firmware environment, and forced-air cooling before installing the board.

Processing and bus structure

  • Processor core: The MPC7455 operates at 1 GHz with separate 32KB instruction and data L1 caches, 256KB L2 cache, and 2MB L3 cache.
  • Memory controller: The Marvell Discovery GT-64260A supports the 133 MHz host bus and two banks of 133 MHz ECC SDRAM.
  • Local buses: Two 64-bit PCI buses separate the two PMC sites from the VME and PMCspan resources.
  • VME bridge: The Universe II device implements the documented ANSI/VITA 1-1994 VME64 interface.

On-board communication resources

  • Ethernet port 1: The front-panel RJ-45 supports 10/100/1000Base-T operation.
  • Ethernet port 2: The second interface supports 10/100Base-T and can also route through the MVME761.
  • Serial channels: Two 16550-compatible UARTs provide the documented asynchronous serial functions.
  • PMC sites: Two IEEE P1386.1 positions accept supported 33 or 66 MHz PMC modules.

System matching checks

  • Backplane: Confirm that the target VME chassis provides the required P1 and P2 connectivity.
  • Handle style: Match the IEEE front-panel handle arrangement before replacing a neighboring configuration.
  • Cooling: Maintain forced-air cooling so inlet air remains within the specified operating range.
  • Firmware: Verify MOTLoad, BSP, and operating-system support before transferring an application.
Description
MVME5500-0163 is the IEEE-handle ordering configuration in Motorola Computer Group documentation for the MVME5500 Series VME single-board computer. It combines a 1 GHz MPC7455 processor with 512MB of on-board PC133 ECC SDRAM for data-intensive embedded computing applications.

Balanced subsystem performance is central to MVME5500-0163. The Marvell Discovery GT-64260A system controller supports 133 MHz host and SDRAM buses, while two 64-bit 33/66 MHz PCI buses provide independent paths for the PMC sites and other board resources.

The MVME5500-0163 architecture includes two IEEE P1386.1 PMC sites, a Tundra Universe II VME64 interface, one Gigabit Ethernet port, one 10/100BaseTX port, two asynchronous serial ports, 40MB of Flash memory, NVRAM, and a real-time clock. Motorola describes the platform as a technology-refresh path for existing VMEbus infrastructure in industrial automation, defense, aerospace, and medical-imaging systems.

Before installing MVME5500-0163, confirm the IEEE handle arrangement, P1 and P2 backplane connections, jumper-selected PMC or IPMC rear-I/O mode, transition hardware, PMC voltage keying, and forced-air cooling. The official documentation should be used to verify whether an MVME761, MVME712M, IPMC module, or P2 adapter is required for the target chassis.
