CPU and Memory

The CPU is an IBM PowerPC 405 GPr 400MHz 32-bit RISC processor with 16KB D-cache.

PCI Interface

The PCI interface is a 32bit/66MHz system to control the on-board Broadcom BCM56500 base
interface switch and the optional fabric mezzanine module. The internal PCI arbiter of the
PowerPC 405 GPr is used.

The virtual PCI slots are ordered in the following way:

Table 3-1: PCI Slots

Fast Ethernet Management Interface

The internal Fast Ethernet MAC of the PowerPC 405 GPr is used as a management interface.
Additionally, a Fast Ethernet PHY transceiver and a RJ45 Connector with integrated magnetics
and two LED's, located on the front panel, are used to complete the network interface.

The PHY is controlled via the MDIO interface of the PowerPC 405 GPr. The MDIO address is
set to 0. The default setting of the PHY is to operate in auto-negotiation enabled mode, 10/100,
Full or Half duplex.

The PHY drives the two LEDs of the RJ 45 Connector, buffered by the CPLD.

The connection is established with a straight through Ethernet cable.
