			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>About a year ago Xembedded  was approached by a company that designs and manufactures a system that  is enclosed in those little metal shacks next to the railroad tracks  all over the world. Those shacks hold equipment that ensures the safety  of our railroad system looking at things like train car wheels, brake  hoses, speed of the train cars, temperature of the rails, weight of  the cars and other items that could affect the safety of the public  and the rail system.</p>
<p>An out of round train car wheel can damage the  track and can cause a derailment of the whole train. Using transducers  on the track, this system picks up the signature of the wheels rolling  past and reports any irregularities to a central location. The system  was built around a SBS VR7 processor board that uses a custom P2 pin  out for the rear I/O and the chassis uses a custom backplane to connect  the rear I/O. When the VR7 processor was End-Of-Life, it left this manufacture  without a system processor, necessitating an immediate redesign, unless  a solution could be found.</p>
<p>I once worked for an engineering  manager that said, “with infinite time and cubic money we can do anything….  but we don’t have either”. This was very true in this case; the  customer needed a solution and did not have the luxury of time and a  lot of NRE money.</p>
<p>This customer needed a drop-in,  pin-for-pin replacement board eliminating the need for new chassis,  backplanes and wiring in the rail side systems. Some of these systems  are so remote in location that the service personnel needed to backpack  everything to the site so reliability along with the ability to live  in extreme hot and cold climates without fans was an absolute requirement.  In addition their system requirement had grown through the years with  the growth of their application code; more memory and a faster CPU were  on the list of new requirements along with a more accurate Time-Of-Day  clock.</p>
<p>Xembedded worked closely with  this customer to develop a drop in replacement with the added features  for very little NRE and a low commitment of orders for the custom modules.</p>
<p>Let Xembedded help you with  your End-Of –Life module replacement needs. Don’t let a single module  going EOL in your system send you into a complete system redesign.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Within the last two years the .concept of &#8220;Stand-Alone Rugged Boxes&#8221; has become a fixture in this market. The trend has now broadened out to include a larger con¬tingent of smaller form factor board vendors. The term stand¬alone rugged boxes applies to complete system boxes—which often support standard form factor boards inside them. These systems provide a complete, tested and enclosed computing so¬lution that eliminates complex integration chores for military customers. This idea has been gathering momentum in the past couple years whereby traditional embedded board vendors are adding stand-alone rugged box-level systems to their military market offerings.</p>
<p>As the product roundup in this section shows, at present, there arc more than a dozen vendors that have some sort of stand-alone rugged box-level system in their offerings—many even have whole product lines in that category. As a product cat¬egory, stand-alone rugged boxes are somewhat difficult to define because they&#8217;re available in a variety of shapes, sizes and capabil¬ities. They typically comprise a set of modular embedded boards housed in a rugged enclosure that has its own power supply and interface ports to link to a variety of user terminals.</p>
<p>Often the boards in the box are standards-based cards such as PC/104, PMC and 3U CompactPCI. But the enclosures by and large aren&#8217;t in any industry standard footprint, although that may change as standards like MicroTCA and some box-level VITA standards gain acceptance in the military realm. Recently a number of vendors from the PC/104 community have joined the stand-alone rugged box trend. This stacked multi-board PC/104 architecture provides for a shock- and vibration-resis¬tant off-the-shelf computing solution by eliminating backplanes and metal card cages, making PC/104 ideal for military vehicles such as tanks or even Humvees.</p>
<p>Earlier this month—on Election Day in fact—this topic of complete integrated systems was discussed at a luncheon panel session at RTC Group&#8217;s Real-Time Embedded Com¬puting Conference (RTECC) in Reston, VA. The panel discussed how stand-alone rugged box solutions have emerged as a second center of gravity alongside SBCs. Board-level systems, according to the panel, remain tremendously important—and active— especially in the areas of tech upgrades and tech refresh where board-level products shine. But some new military programs are opting for complete box-level systems—and some older pro¬grams are shifting from a slot-card scheme to a box-level imple¬mentation. The panel also discussed the technology forces that have brought this trend toward integrated system solutions into the forefront—such as FPGAs and the emergence of multi-func¬tion boards. Also analyzed by the panel was the issue of how mergers and acquisitions in the embedded computing industry pushed forward this trend toward integrated solutions. <a href="http://www.cotsjournalonline.com/sections/view/technology_focus" target="_blank">COTS Journal Online</a> &#8211; <a href="http://www.xembedded.com" target="_blank">John Sayer &#8211; Xembedded</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Programming on the VMEbus with Xembedded</p>
<p>Part 2. XVMEStat in VMEman.</p>
<p>This week let’s talk a little about the Status function in our board support package. This is an application within the XVME-984 software support library that allow a user to look at the module IDs on the VMEbus. This includes our processor boards and any Input/Output modules on the VMEbus.</p>
<p>XVMEstat is a 32-bit menu-driven Windows application that displays the contents of the PC/AT status registers module type, system resource, master/slave interface information, VMEbus ownership, and front panel LED information.</p>
<h3>XVMEstat Window</h3>
<p>The XVMEstat window is automatically updated every second (default). Select the <span style="text-decoration: underline;">T</span>imer… option from the <span style="text-decoration: underline;">C</span>onfigure menu to change this update rate. You can force an immediate read of the status registers by selecting the <span style="text-decoration: underline;">R</span>ead option in the menu bar.<br />

Figure 4-1. XVMEstat window</p>
<p>Clicking the icon in the window title bar or right-clicking anywhere in the title bar will open the System menu, which will allow you to size or close the window.<br />

<h3>Configure Menu</h3>
<p>This section describes the menu options associated with the Configure Menu.<br />

Figure 4-3. XVMEstat Configure menu</p>
<h4>Configure-&gt;Timer</h4>
<p>This menu option opens a dialog for configuration of the time interval for reads and writes. The two choices are:</p>
<ul>
<li>The default option, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">T</span>ime (ms), enables the operating system to send a WM_TIMER message to the application at periodic intervals. The default value is 1000 milliseconds.</li>
<li>The Co<span style="text-decoration: underline;">n</span>tinuous option generates continuous reads or writes.</li>
</ul>

<h3>View Menu</h3>
<p>This section describes the menu options associated with the View menu. If your Xembedded CPU board only supports four master and four slave images, the Master Interface (5-8) and Slave Interface (5-8) options will not be available and the other options will be Master Interface and Slave Interface.<br />

Figure 4-6. XVMEstat View menu</p>
<h4>View-&gt;General</h4>
<p>This menu option selects general information to be displayed. This is the view seen when the XVMEstat window is first opened. Note the processor module model number is displayed along with information about the system resource controller (see part 1 for this information), the Bus Request Level being used, the request mode and release mode. You can also see the display of the front panel lights, these can be set or reset in the VMEman monitor functions (see last weeks Part 1).<br />

Figure 4-7. General View</p>
<h4>View-&gt;Master Interface</h4>
<p>This menu option displays information related to the master interface. There are two master interface windows, one for images 1-4 and one for images 5-8. If your XVME CPU board only supports four master images, there will be only one window, for images 1-4.<br />
<img src="http://joeybud.com/page2/4-8.gif" alt="Xembedded VME - CompactPCI" title="Programming on the VMEbus with Xembedded  Part 2. XVMEStat in VMEman." /><br />
Figure 4-8. Master Interface View</p>
<h4>View-&gt;Slave Interface</h4>
<p>This menu option displays information related to the slave interface. There are two slave interface windows, one for images 1-4 and one for images 5-8. If your XVME CPU board only supports four slave images, there will be only one window, for images 1-4.<br />
<img src="http://joeybud.com/page2/4-9.gif" alt="Xembedded VME - CompactPCI" title="Programming on the VMEbus with Xembedded  Part 2. XVMEStat in VMEman." /><br />
Figure 4-9. Slave Interface View</p>
<h4>View-&gt;Interrupts</h4>
<p>This menu option selects information related to VMEbus and Auxiliary interrupts to be displayed.<br />
<img src="http://joeybud.com/page2/4-10.gif" alt="Xembedded VME - CompactPCI" title="Programming on the VMEbus with Xembedded  Part 2. XVMEStat in VMEman." /><br />
Figure 4-10. Interrupts View</p>
<h3>Read Menu Command</h3>
<p>This function performs an immediate read of the XVME PC/AT status registers and updates the display.</p>
<h3>Help Menu</h3>
<p>This menu lets you access the BSP help file and the About XVMEstat window, which displays version information for the XVMEstat executable.</p>
<p>As you can see this XStat function in our VMEman product can be very helpful in understanding your current setup and how those actions are programmed.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ann Arbor, Michigan – June 22, 2009</p>
<p>Xembedded LLC, a XycomVME Company, has announced the <a href="http://xembedded.com/content/compact-pci/carriers/xcpc-9200-carrier.php">XCPC-9200 CompactPCI Dual Carrier module</a>. Our new CompactPCI Dual PMC Carrier module provides 25 Watts of power to each PMC site.   The XCPC-9200 is well suited for 10Gigabit Ethernet, PMC I/O or FPGA PMC modules requiring more than the standard 12 Watts of power supply outlined in the IEEE- P1386.2001 specification. Using the industry standard PLX<sup>®</sup> PCI-6540 PCIX-to-PCIX transparent bridge, the <a href="http://xembedded.com/content/compact-pci/carriers/xcpc-9200-carrier.php">XCPC-9200</a> supports the PMC and CompactPCI interface with a 32/64-bit data path and bus speeds of 66/133MHz on the PMC sites and 33/66 MHz on the CompactPCI bus. The <a href="http://xembedded.com/content/compact-pci/carriers/xcpc-9200-carrier.php">XCPC-9200</a> functions well in both 3.3VI/O and 5VI/O backplanes. The PMC sites support 3.3VI/O.</p>
<p>XCPC-9200 is available in Conduction Cooled, -40 to 85° C and Air Cooled -25 to 70° C versions. The high wattage dual PMC carrier is designed for high-performance industrial, COTS, military and telephony CompactPCI systems that require very high performance I/O expansion using PMC modules. The XCPC-9200 offers both front and rear-panel I/O support in a <a href="http://xembedded.com/content/compact-pci/carriers/xcpc-9200-carrier.php">standard 6U CompactPCI.</a></p>
<p>An optional rear transition module, XCPC-9092 is available to distribute the rear I/O to 68-pin SCSI type connectors. All <a href="http://xembedded.com/">Xembedded</a> products carry a 2 year limited warranty.</p>
<p>For additional information contact us at <a href="mailto:sales@xembedded.com">sales@xembedded.com</a> or visit our web site at <a href="http://xembedded.com/">Xembedded.com.</a></p>

<p>The <a href="http://xembedded.com/content/vme/vme.php" target="_self">VMEbus processor</a> can be an intimidating device to program. Just getting started can be a daunting task, where to start? how do you know you can “talk” to the other modules on the VMEbus? Can you talk to the other modules on the VMEbus?</p>
<p>In this series I have brought in sections of our user manual for the XVME-984, Microsoft Windows software support library. With this software you can get on the VMEbus and “talk” to other boards in the backplane in a matter of a few minutes. Most is point, click and enter address and data. In this document we will talk about the use of the VMEbus Manager application. The other applications listed in the overview below will be covered in the coming weeks in this series.</p>
<p>It is important to understand the three major components of the <a href="http://xembedded.com/content/vme/vme.php" target="_self">VMEbus</a>;  <strong>System Controller</strong>, <strong>Master Interface</strong> and <strong>Slave Interface</strong>. All of the Xembedded VMEbus processors incorporate all three components.</p>
<p><strong>System Controller: </strong>Only one module on the VMEbus can be the system controller.</p>
<p>The system controller provides for bus arbitration, a 16 MHz system clock, and the IACK daisy chain driver. This functions major purpose is to determine which bus master get to “talk” on the VMEbus. The Bus Grant function is used to determine who the system controller on the VMEbus is where multiple bus masters are present. Only one module on the VMEbus can be the system controller.</p>
<p><strong>Master Interface:</strong> The VMEbus master interface is sometimes referred to as the “TALKER”. Only a module capable of talking on the VMEbus and has been given permission by the system controller to talk on the VMEbus. The master interface is the method to talk between modules on the VMEbus.</p>
<p><strong>Slave Interface: </strong>The VMEbus slave interface is sometimes referred to as the “Listener”. Only a module capable of listening on the VMEbus and has been given permission by the system controller to listen on the VMEbus. The slave interface is the method to talk between modules on the VMEbus.</p>
<p><strong>Overview</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p>The XVME-984 Windows<sup>®</sup> Board Support Package (BSP) is a comprehensive package that simplifies the process of designing VMEbus application programs for Xembedded VME hardware in the Microsoft<sup>®</sup> Windows 2000 and XP, Vista and Windows<sup>®</sup> 7 environment.</p>
<p>The Windows<sup>®</sup> BSP has the following components (distributed on CD):</p>
<p>Installation program</p>
<p>Application Programming Interface (API) used to develop VMEbus applications</p>
<p>Operating system (OS) specific VMEbus device driver</p>
<p>32-bit Dynamic Link Libraries (DLLs)</p>
<p><strong> </strong><strong>VMEbus Manager (VMEman) application</strong></p>
<p><em> </em><em>XVME Status (XVMEstat) application</em></p>
<p><em> </em><em>VMEbus probe (VMEprobe) application</em></p>
<p><em> </em><em>Dual-access probe (DAprobe) application</em></p>

<p><strong><br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong>Accessing the VMEbus</strong></p>
<p>Windows require a device driver to manage the Tundra Universe II, PCI to VMEbus bridge interface. Its responsibilities include:</p>
<p>Managing VMEbus master resources</p>
<p>Managing VMEbus slave resources</p>
<p>Generating VMEbus interrupts</p>
<p>Handling VMEbus and auxiliary interrupts</p>
<ul>
<li>Software reset of BIOS</li>
</ul>
<p>Dynamic Link Libraries (DLLs) provide a 32-bit, high-level application programming interface (API) to the driver. This interface is a comprehensive set of functions that simplifies the development of VMEbus application programs. All of the VMEbus manager tools were written using these libraries.</p>
<p>This chapter describes the API in detail as well as the VMEbus master interface, VMEbus slave interface, and interrupt capability.</p>
<p><strong>VMEbus Master Interface</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Xembedded&#8217;s VMEbus PC/AT processor modules, which contain a VMEbus master interface, have one or more resources that can be configured to provide a &#8220;window&#8221; to the VMEbus. The number of resources or &#8220;windows&#8221; is dependent on the XVME CPU module being used. At a minimum, each &#8220;window&#8221; is configured with the VMEbus Address Space (A16, A24, A32), VMEbus base address, Program/Data address modifier, and Supervisory/Nonprivileged address modifier. Depending on which XVME CPU module is being used, other configurations such as VMEbus bound address, maximum data width, and cycle type may be configured as well. The device driver accepts VMEbus access requests through the provided API from application programs and configures a &#8220;window&#8221; accordingly to fulfill the request. The driver also ensures the integrity of the configuration when receiving multiple requests from different processes and/or threads.</p>
<p><strong>VMEbus Slave Interface</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Xembedded VMEbus PC/AT processor modules that contain a VMEbus slave interface have one or more resources that can be configured to provide an external &#8220;window&#8221; to the XVME CPU local memory. The number of resources or &#8220;windows&#8221; is dependent on the XVME CPU module being used and is configured in the BIOS setup menus (see your XVME CPU hardware manual for information on configuring the VMEbus slave interface). The device driver allocates and reserves the specified amount of local memory from Windows 2000 and XP and maps it accordingly to the &#8220;windows.&#8221; This memory must be allocated as physically continuous and non-pagable, which can only be done during initialization of the device driver. The device driver accepts access requests to this local memory from application programs through the provided API.</p>
<p><strong>Interrupts</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p>All Xembedded VMEbus PC/AT processor modules are capable of handling interrupts on all seven VMEbus interrupt levels. Some VMEbus PC/AT modules also contain a VMEbus interrupter circuit. This local interrupter allows the VMEbus PC/AT processor module to generate a VMEbus interrupt on any of the seven VMEbus interrupt levels.</p>
<p><strong>Device Driver</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p>The device driver (VMEbus4.sys) is required to access the XVME CPU VMEbus control and status registers and the VMEbus. The functionality built into this driver includes:</p>
<p>VMEbus access</p>
<p>Dual-access memory allocation and access</p>
<p>VMEbus interrupt generation</p>
<p>VMEbus interrupt handling</p>
<p>General access to control registers</p>
<ul>
<li>Tundra Universe chip (PCI to VMEbus Bridge) control</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>XVME4.DLL</strong><strong>/XVME.LIB/XVME.H</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p>XVME4.dll provides a 32-bit, high-level interface to the device driver. Programming for the DLL requires users to include the XVME.h header file in their C source code. This header file contains all of the function prototypes and VMEbus constant definitions. After the application has been developed and compiled, it must be linked with the XVME.lib file. This links the application to the DLL so that the functions can be accessed at runtime.</p>
<p>Note</p>
<p>See the appropriate Windows programming manuals for more information on building and linking to DLLs.</p>
<p>XVME.DLL/XVMEISR.DLL</p>
<p>These DLLs are provided to support applications which were developed using the XVME-984/3 Windows 32-bit VMEbus Toolkit. Applications developed with XVME-984/3 will run unmodified with the Windows NT BSP. However, to gain improvements in both performance and functionality, it is necessary to reprogram these applications to use the API documented in this manual.</p>
<p><strong>Library Routines</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p>This table summarizes the library routines, in our next installment we will go into the functions and how they are used.</p>

<p><strong>VMEbus Manager </strong></p>
<p>The Xembedded VMEbus Manager (VMEMan.exe) is a 32-bit Windows application program that provides a simple mechanism for accessing and monitoring the VMEbus. When using a Xembedded PC/AT processor, the program allows you to quickly test your VMEbus system configuration, by providing a convenient mechanism for reading and writing to VMEbus memory, and monitoring the status of VMEbus interrupts and the PC/AT status registers. This program, like all Windows programs, is menu driven.</p>

<p>Ann Arbor, Michigan – January 21, 2009</p>
<p><a href="http://xembedded.com">Xembedded, LLC, a XycomVME company</a>, has announced the XPMC-6710, the fastest PMC processor card in its class.  The <a href="http://xembedded.com/content/pmc/processors/xpmc-6710.php" target="_blank">XPMC-6710</a> provides superior performance for applications such as communications, simulator systems, defense/aerospace, industrial controls, and digital signal processing.</p>
<p>The<a href="http://xembedded.com/content/pmc/processors/xpmc-6710.php" target="_blank"> XPMC-6710</a> is a PrPMC (Processor PCI Mezzanine Card) with a high-performance 1.4GHz PowerPC<sup>®</sup> 7448 processor, 2GB of DDR2 memory, two gigabit Ethernet ports, and two RS-232 ports. The single-width XPMC-6710 offers advantages over other solutions, providing the ability to update the CPU with ease while maintaining the rest of the subsystem I/O. The XPMC-6710 elite-grade Compute Engine gives OEMs outstanding computational density to perform leading-edge pervasive computing. The PPC7448 includes the 128-bit AltiVec vector execution unit found in previous PPC74xx devices, with enhanced support for out-of-order instructions.  The on-board temperature sensors and battery-backed Real Time Clock on the XPMC-6710 ensure reliability in any application.</p>
<p>The XPMC-6710 works with other <a href="http://xembedded.com">Xembedded</a> products to provide additional processing power for custom applications.  A single XPMC-6710 card can be used with our XVME-6520 7448 PowerPC<sup>®</sup> VME processor module to provide an extra PowerPC<sup>®</sup> processor.  Two XPMC-6710 cards can be used on our XCPC-9100 CompactPCI dual PMC carrier board, which features an integrated 8-port Ethernet switch to link the processors with each other and an Ethernet network for distributed processing.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://xembedded.com/content/pmc/processors/xpmc-6710.php" target="_blank">XPMC-6710</a> utilizes the XPIM-710 PMC I/O Module to convert the rear I/O signals to four standard RJ-45 connectors – two for Ethernet and two for RS-232.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="left">Ann Arbor, Michigan – March 2, 2009</p>
<p><strong>Xembedded LLC a XycomVME company has announced a </strong><strong>drop in replacement for the End of Life SBS VR7, but with much more processor power!  The XVME-689-VR7 is a powerful, very low power single slot 6U single board computer with the same VMEbus P1 and P2 pin outs as the VR7.</strong></p>
<p><strong>The XVME-689-VR7 VMEbus processor integrates an Intel<sup>® </sup>Celeron<sup>® </sup>M processor running at 1.0GHz </strong><strong>with up to 512KB of level 2 cache and a PCI-to-VMEbus interface.  With 512MB or 1GB ECC or Non-ECC DDR, 266/333MHz SDRAM available on the XVME-689-VR7.  The XVME-689-VR7 has VGA Graphics out front panel or rear video support (Pixel resolution up to 1600 X 1200 at 85Hz).  The EIDE Ultra-100 DMA controller supports up to three EIDE devices.  One PMC 32/64-bit 33/66MHz site (IEEE P1386/P1386.1) with front panel I/O bezel and user I/O on optional P0 rear connector. </strong></p>
<p><strong>Additional options available on the XVME-689-VR7 are EIDE On-board 1.8” hard drive, CompactFlash carrier, two Serial ATA150 (SATA150) external devices and a floppy disk interface.   SCSI can be added with the use of a SCSI PMC board.  PMC expansion for two additional PMC sites using the XVME-976/209</strong></p>
<p><strong>This XVME-689-VR7 processor module allows users to take advantage of the low power, multiprocessing capability of the VMEbus while using standard off-the-shelf PC software, operating systems and VMEbus I/O modules. </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Xembedded LLC</strong> (A XycomVME company) is recognized worldwide as a leading supplier of Embedded open architecture solutions.
