Chapter 1 - Introduction Ethernet Front End Channel (FEC) The 82596CA® Local Area Network (LAN) Co-processor is used as the FEC Ethernet controller. The 82596CA® communicates with the rest of the board through the LBUS. The 82596CA® has a 80486® type bus interface, which requires two PALs to convert the 80486® interface to meet the LBUS (MC68040_ type) specification. The 82596CA® can be a master or a slave of the LBUS. As a LBUS master, the 82596CA® accesses both data and command lists for both

VMEbus Short I/O Interface VMEbus Short I/O Interface The VMEbus Short I/O interface allows for VMEbus host and onboard CPU communications. The host issues commands to the Condor through the Short I/O interface and the CPU issues status back to the host. The Short I/O Interface is a Slave-only interface to the Condor and contains two independent, jumper-configurable, slave-access areas. The areas can be configured to be 256, 512-, 1K- or 2K- bytes in length. VMEbus address lines A(15-08) and the

Chapter 1 - Introduction interrupt handler outputs an interrupt vector number for the non-DMA engine interrupts or requests access to the LBUS for a DMA engine IACK cycles. CPU/LBUS Interface The CPU/LBUS Interface links the CPU core with the LBUS resources. The CPU/LBUS interface converts the CPU Core bus to the LBUS. The Interface is a one-way interface which allows the CPU to act as a LBUS master. The interface does not allow other LBUS masters to access the CPU Core. The CPU/LBUS interface i
