The flexibility of the MVME2700 provides an excellent base platform that can be quickly and easily customized for a variety of industry-specific applications.

Designed to meet military, aerospace, industrial automation and medical needs, the MVME2700 is suitable for a wide range of applications.

The DRAM expansion mezzanine allows memory upgrades to up to 256MB of ECC DRAM without the need for additional VME slots.

MVME2700 Details

PCI Expansion

The MVME2700 module has 64-bit PCI connectivity to support PCI expansion carriers such as Motorola PMCspan.

Consult your local Motorola representative for design details on connectors and electrical specifications.

Memory Modules

The MVME2700 series utilizes a modular memory design. Mezzanine arrays support 16MB to 256MB of additional DRAM.

These RAM200 expansion modules allow field upgrades of memory capacity and do not require additional VME slots.

Transition Modules

The MVME2700 is available in two artifact variants. One series is backward compatible with the MVME712M Transition Module I/O. The other series accepts the MVME712M Transition Module I/O. The other series accepts

The MVME761 Transition Module has additional synchronous/synchronous serial ports, 10/100BaseT interfaces, fast 16-bit SCSI, and IEEE 1284 compliant parallel ports.

MVME761

The MVME761 Transition Module provides industry standard connectors to access the IEEE 1284 parallel port via an RJ-45 connector,

10BaseT or 100BaseT ports, two DB-9 connectors for access to asynchronous serial ports configured as EIA-574 DTEs, and two HD-26 connectors for access to asynchronous serial ports configured as EIA-574 DTEs.

and two HD-26 connectors that access the synchronous/synchronous serial ports.

These serial ports are labeled Serial 3 and Serial 4 on the MVME761 faceplate.

They can be individually configured as EIA-232. EIA-530. V.35 or X.21 DCE or DTE by installing a Motorola Serial Interface Module (SIM).

The P2 adapter provides the interface module signals for the MVME761 transition module.

The 3-row P2 adapter can be used for 8-bit SCSI. 5-row P2 adapters support 16-bit SCSI and PMC input/output.

MVME712M

The MVME712M Transition Module provides industry standard connectors for the Centronics® parallel port, an AUI port, and four DB-25 connectors.

These connectors provide access to asynchronous/synchronous serial ports that can be jumper-configured to EIA-232 DCE or DTE. 3-row P2 adapters are available for 8-bit SCSI.

To access additional user-definable I/O pins available through the 5-row VME64 expansion connector, a dedicated P2 adapter board is available.

This adapter board replaces the traditional 3-row P2 adapter and extends its functionality with access to the PMC I/O pins.

The MVME712M is also available in several other different I/O and connector combinations.

Firmware Monitor

Firmware must fulfill the traditional functions of testing and initialization in addition to supporting operating system booting.

The MVME2700 Firmware Monitor exceeds these requirements and is the leading proven monitor in the embedded VME space.

It extends features such as power-on tests with extensive diagnostic capabilities, and powerful evaluation and debugging tools that

can be used for simple checks or when advanced development debuggers require additional support.

All of this is included in the MVME2700 firmware, and it also supports OS and kernel booting.
