Introduction

This manual provides programming information for MVME2300 and
MVME2300SC VME processor modules. Extensive programming
information is provided for several Application-Specific Integrated Circuit
(ASIC) devices used on the boards. Reference information is included in
Appendix A for the Large Scale Integration (LSI) devices used on the
boards and sources for additional information are listed.

This chapter briefly describes the board level hardware features of the
MVME2300-series VME processor modules. The chapter begins with a
board level overview and features list. Memory maps are next, and are the
major feature of this chapter.

Programmable registers that reside in ASICs in the MVME2300 series are
covered in the chapters on those ASICs.
