| | | | | | Macrolink’s MVCQuick Multi-Protocol Communications Processor is an advanced high-speed microprocessor based controller for VMEbus Master/Slave, D32/D64 applications. Available with 8 or 16 synchronous/asynchronous serial lines, the MVCQuick provides an aggregate throughput of 64Mbps. Combining Motorola’s MC68040 code compatible ColdFire processor, and four Motorola MC68360 QUICC serial controllers operating in companion mode, the MVCQuick allows uninterrupted transfers of high-speed data -- from a single character to large contiguous blocks -- between the VMEbus and the serial lines. The MVCQuick architecture is optimized for message based protocols and streaming data formats. Allowing any mix of synchronous & asynchronous lines and baud rates from 23.4bps to 12.288Mbps, the MVCQuick supports all 16 channels at 4Mbps -- simultaneously. VMEbus traffic is minimized by on-board character processing, flow control, status and error handling. Self-clocking data (DPLL), HDLC/SDLC & Bi-Sync protocols are processed in the QUICC’s RISC protocol/DMA engine, eliminating host overhead and maintaining maximum throughput. Our 4-port serial line conditioning modules allow each MVCQuick to handle multiple line disciplines. A single MVCQuick can be configured with any mix of RS-232, RS-422, RS-485, MIL-STD-188C and buffered TTL in 4-line groups. Up to 4 different serial line conditioning modules can be installed with up to 12 signals per line for full modem control. Serial line connections are made via two 100-pin, high-density front panel connectors. An optional P2 transition module is also available. Serial line and VMEbus configuration information is user defined and downloaded to the MVCQuick at system initialization, and can be dynamically reconfigured. A comprehensive Power On Self Test (POST) verifies over 90% of the controller. With optional loop-back connectors and Extended-POST, 100% controller verification is achieved meeting virtually all Built In Test (BIT) requirements. Your custom developed applications, and industry standard protocol solutions, run on-board in 4MB of 60ns EDO DRAM. The MVCQuick also features 512KB of Flash EPROM, with 256KB available for instant-on user applications. Native power-up bootstrap firmware allows easy application program downloading and Flash EPROM programming. Expanded memory configurations are available. Our comprehensive Software Development Kit allows you to program and optimize the MVCQuick for your specific application. The SDK includes a download program, Flash EPROM loader, I/O & memory maps, driver code samples, application notes and MC68360 User’s Guide & Application Notes. Program source, with annotation, is provided in C. The MVCQuick’s 68040 code compatible MCF5102 ColdFire processor offers a common and familiar programming environment as well as the use of readily available programming tools. To ensure ongoing compatibility, Macrolink offers an annual SDK maintenance program that includes updates and on-line support. In addition to the SDK, Macrolink offers a VxWorks Board Support Package (BSP) for Wind River's VxWorks 5.x operating system and Tornado development tools. The BSP for the MVCQuick is a Wind River Systems-validated package that provides a VxWorks run-time environment for the MCF5102 ColdFire processor as well as VxWorks serial device drivers for the MC68360 QUICC processors. The BSP opens the way to using a vast array of third-party products compatible with VxWorks, and provides a significant time-to-market advantage in software development. Macrolink offers an annual BSP maintenance program that includes updates and on-line supportMacrolink has designed and manufactured performance oriented communications, mass storage, memory and related subsystem products since 1978 and understands your demand for reliability and support. Macrolink products are covered by one of the most comprehensive warranties in the industry. All products are temperature cycled and burned-in to eliminate failures in the field. Computer testing checks virtually every parameter and aspect of the products. Call about our ship-from-stock emergency exchange and customer training programs.
