Abstract

The VMEbus is an IEEE standard architecture upon which many embedded and real-time systems are built. The VMEbus architecture has existed for nearly 25 years and has been used extensively for military, industrial, and aerospace applications. This paper describes the general characteristics of the VMEbus architecture, specifically relating these characteristics to aspects of embedded systems education included as components of the IEEE/ACM CE2004 computer engineering model curriculum. Portions of this model curriculum are currently being implemented at universities across the country as part of an increasing effort to address the need for embedded systems education. This evaluation will identify the strengths and weaknesses of this architecture as a general-purpose embedded systems educational tool. The VMEbus architecture is used in the laboratory component of an undergraduate embedded systems course at the University of Alabama (UA), Tuscaloosa. The assessment results evaluating its effectiveness are presented. Index Terms--Computer architecture, computer engineering education, educational technology, embedded systems.

2. A VME 32 channel pipeline TDC module with TMC LSIs

Author

Shirasu, Hideki, Arai, Yasuo, Ikeno, Masahiro, Murata, Toshimitsu, and Emura, Tsuneo

Subjects
VMEbus -- Design and construction, Large scale integration -- Usage, Business, Electronics, Electronics and electrical industries
Abstract

A new 32-channel pipeline TDC module, which implements custom-developed Time Memory Cell LSIs, has been developed for high-rate wire-chamber applications. The module has achieved a 370 ps time resolution, and records data for a period of 3.2 [micro]sec. To handle the large data size, a digital signal processor (DSP56002) is implemented in the module. Most of the control logic is implemented in two complex PLDs to achieve a density of 32 channels in a single-width, double-height VME module.

Abstract

We describe a 96 bit zero-suppressor and encoder VME board designed for the RPC trigger system of the L3 Forward/Backward Muon detector at CERN. Running at 20 MHz clock frequency, the board processes the elementary 96 bit wide detector pattem in less than one microsecond, storing hit addresses in a FIFO array. Details of the board architecture - based on seven XILINX XC3020 LCAs - are presented and simulation and preliminary test results are briefly reported.

6. Migrating from VME to Futurebus+

Author

Fischer, Wayne

Subjects
Buses (Computers) -- Design and construction, VMEbus -- Design and construction, Aerospace and defense industries, Business, Electronics and electrical industries
Abstract

Futurebus+ technology in military applications reduces test station numbers and the need to stock spares. One test station can test all Futurebus+ modules and the same Futurebus' modules can be used in a number of electronic boxes. A few of the advantages Futurebus+ has over VME64 are that it provides a 64-bit wide adjustable bus that is adjustable and data transfer between master and slave can be completed in either the compelled or packet mode., VME became the industrial bus of choice during the '80s and will be highly utilized through the '90s. VME found its way into the military market by being among the [...]

7. Changes enhance performance of VMEbus

Author

Gipper, Jerry

Subjects
VMEbus -- Design and construction, Buses (Computers) -- Design and construction, Computer industry -- Product development, Aerospace and defense industries, Business, Electronics and electrical industries
Abstract

Enhancements such as Multiplexed Block Transfers (MBLT), Source Synchronous Block Transfers (SSBLT) and Autobahn economically improve VMEbus performance. For data transfers and addressing, MBLT gives VMEbus 64-bit capacity. SSBLT has additional support for synchronous data transfers. A synchronizing clock permits for shorter transfer cycles on a 160 Mbyte/sec potential bandwidth. Autobahn defines the protocol for serial transfers and necessitates alteration of existing backplanes. Autobahn is also compatible with VME modules., Four industry experts report on the status of principal bus architectures used in military applications. The market is shrinking and backplane bus manufacturers are scrambling to be more responsive to [...]
