The MVME177 dual-port RAM feature makes the shared RAM available to remote processors as well as to the local processor. This can be done by either of the following two methods. Either method can be enabled/disabled by the ENV command as its Remote Start Switch Method.A remote processor can initiate program execution in the local MVME177 dual-port RAM by issuing a remote GO command using the Multiprocessor Control Register (MPCR). The MPCR, located at shared RAM location of $800 offset from the base address the debugger loads it at, contains one of two longwords used to control communication between processors.
The status codes stored in the MPCR are of two types:
❏ Status returned (from the monitor) ❏ Status set (by the bus master)The Multiprocessor Address Register (MPAR), located in shared RAM location of $804 offset from the base address the debugger loads it at, contains the second of two longwords used to control communication between processors. The MPAR contents specify the address at which execution for the remote processor is to begin if the MPCR contains a G or B.
The MPCR contains $00 at power-up, indicating that initialization is not yet complete. As the initialization proceeds, the execution path comes to the “prompt” routine. Before sending the prompt, this routine places an R in the MPCR to indicate that initialization is complete. Then the prompt is sent.
If no terminal is connected to the port
the MPCR is still polled to determine whether an external processor requires control to be passed to the dual-port RAM. If a terminal does respond, the MPCR is polled for the same purpose while the serial port is being polled for user input.An ASCII G placed in the MPCR by a remote processor indicates that the Go Direct type of transfer is requested. An ASCII B in the MPCR indicates that breakpoints are to be armed before control is transferred (as with the GO command). In either sequence, an E is placed in the MPCR to indicate that execution is underway just before control is passed to RAM. (Any remote processor could examine the MPCR contents).
