Assembling VME Targets<br />

CPU system controller<br />

■<br />

information reference indicate the location of the system controller enable<br />

jumper, if any.<br />

Alternatively, a separate system controller board can be installed in the first<br />

slot and the CPU and Ethernet boards can be plugged into the next two slots.<br />

Empty Slots. The VME bus has several daisy chained signals that must be<br />

propagated to all the boards on the backplane. If you leave any slot empty<br />

between boards on the backplane, you must jumper the backplane to complete<br />

the daisy chain for the BUS GRANT and INT ACK signals.<br />

Connecting the Cables<br />

All supported VxWorks targets include at least one on-board serial port. This serial<br />

port must be connected to an ASCII terminal (or equivalent device), at least for the<br />

initial configuration of the boot parameters and getting started with VxWorks.<br />

Subsequently, VxWorks can be configured to boot automatically without a<br />

terminal. Refer to the CPU board hardware documentation for proper connection<br />

of the RS-232 signals.<br />

For the Ethernet connection, a transceiver cable must be connected from the<br />

Ethernet controller to an Ethernet transceiver.<br />
