3.4 VMEbus A16 Slave Memory (continued)
3.4.4 VMEbus Unique A24/A32 Base Address Register (continued)
3.4.4.2 VMEbus Unique A24 Base Address − Bits D7 to D1
These seven bits specify the lowest address in the region of VME−
bus A24 address space that this Model 6526’s unique A24−addres−
sable resources will occupy. The board may occupy one of 128
regions, each representing 128 kBytes of VMEbus A24 address
space. The value set in bits UA24_6 to UA24_0 in this register
should be unique for each Model 6526 in the system, so that when
commands are issued in this address space, only the desired board
will respond.
VME address bits A23 – A17 (the third and fourth hex address
digits) are compared with the contents of this register field to
determine if this is the board being addressed. Note that this value
corresponds to the “VME_base” designation used in the A24/A32
address map descriptions in Section 3.5.
NOTES:
(1) Because the Model 6526 occupies 128 kBytes of VMEbus
memory in A24 address space, it can only be mapped on EVEN
A24 VME_base addresses. Therefore, the least significant bit of
this register must always be written with a logic '0'.
(2) The contents of the eight least significant bits in this register
have no effect upon the Unique A32 base address. In other
words, if you write 0xDCBA to this register, the Unique A32
base address is 0xDC00 0000, and the Unique A24 base address
is 0xBA 0000.
