Federal communications commission statement
Þ This device complies with FCC Rules Part 15. Operation is subject
to the following two conditions:
Þ This device may not cause harmful interference, and
Þ This device must accept any interference received including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
Þ This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency

Specification Details
1.2.1 CPU Kernel
The CPU kernel consists of the PowerPC-740 CPU with clock rates
of 266 MHz and host bus clocks of 66 MHz. The CPU contains two
parallel 32-bit integer execution units with an additional floating
point unit for 8 SPECint95 and 6.2 SPECfp95 at 200 MHz. It has an
external second-level cache (2-1-1- 1 clocks) and main memory
attached directly to the CPU’s host bus. Memory is controlled by the
host bridge MPC106 which contains the bridge between host bus and
on-board PCI itself as well as the memory interface for EDO or
SDRAM modules in SO DIMM format (144-pin SO DIMM
modules; 64-bit data bus). Memory size can be anywhere between 8
and 128 MB, depending on the DIMM modules used. Two sockets
can be equipped with SO DIMM modules but the board is also
running with only one module.
1.2.2 Flash Memory
Up to 2 MB of user flash memory are supplied for storing user-
generated programs. Thus, diskless systems can be built.
1.2.3 PCI Devices
The board-internal PCI bus is used for all I/O devices as well as the
PCI-to-VME bridge. The PCI bus is of the master/slave type, capable
of DMA transfers as source and target.
Two single-size PMC slots allow for flexible interfacing, e.g. using a
VGA display adapter PMC module and additionally a frame grabber
interface. Due to the bus-master DMA capabilities of the PMC
implementation of the PCI standard, frame grabber can be
implemented efficiently without frame buffers.

User's Manual
BAB 740
1—3
An Ethernet controller for either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps Ethernet with
PCI DMA capabilities is provided on-board. Front panel interface is
10/100BaseT.
The last interface on the local PCI bus is the ISA bridge (Winbond
W83C553), interfacing to the internal ISA bus with additional on-
board components. Additionally, there are the standard PC
components real-time clock, keyboard controller, dual serial I/O and
parallel controller.
1.2.4 VMEbus Interface
The VMEbus interface uses the Universe II bridge controller,
connecting the internal PCI bus and the external VMEbus. It
supports 8-, 16-, and 32-bit data transfers in master and slave mode.
Additionally, bus controller (arbiter) functionality is available.
Use of the BAB 740 without VMEbus is possible; only power must
be supplied through VME connectors.
1.2.5 Mechanical
The board format is double Eurocard (6HU) using two VMEbus
slots. The VMEbus connectors are mounted at the position of the
second VMEbus slot (the slot on the right) of the two slots the board
is using. Two slots for single-size PMC modules are available.
1.2.6 I/O
8-bit SCSI is routed over the VME P2 connector. Additionally, the
serial I/O channels 2 .... 4 and the parallel I/O are also routed via P2.
On the front panel the Ethernet 10BaseT connector is located as well
as the separate front panel for PMC I/O signals. The keyboard
connector and two serial RS232 channel are also routed to the front
panel (9-pin D connector).

1.2.7 Software
The standard operating system is OS-9/VxWorks for the PowerPC.
The development environment is FasTrak for Windows, so that the
user can write and debug programs on the Windows 95 or Windows
NT platform. Debug and program download can be done via
Ethernet or through the PCI bus.
BIOS functionality is supplied in the form of the boot program, used
to start the operating system OS-9/VxWorks. It also contains power-
on self test routines and PCI device address setup.
1.2.8 Compatibility
The BAB 740 has been designed to be software-compatible to the
PowerPC reference platform (“Yellowknife”) as much as possible.
