You can find nearly all the power pc datasheet from IBM (ibm.com) own
web site. I think the most important feature of this 750 series ppc is
its capability to run 4 instructions per cycle and have built-in FPU.

What he wanted was the user manual.

The product from Artesyn is end-of-life, so when I asked,
they gave me the datasheet and schematics for the board.

You can buy the modules on eBay for about $50ea.

I've sent him links to the documents.

If anyone wants them, just ask :)

Suggestions for a PPC440 board?

[David Hawkins]

Hi all,

I'm evaluating the Yosemite 440EP board at the moment,
with the intention of using it on custom compactPCI
boards. I've got a few questions to ask the group, but
I'll leave those for another email.

In the final system, the cPCI host will be an x86 CPU
(since I already have them), and the cPCI peripherals
will be the 440EP custom boards --- so my intended
target for the 440EP is as a peripheral, whereas the
Yosemite is a host-only development platform (but,
still I have a lot to learn, so its a good place to
start).

To help with the development of PCI drivers, I was thinking
of getting a pre-existing 440-based cPCI board. I haven't
found any 440EP boards, but there are a few 440GP and
440GX boards out there. I need the 440EP FPU in the
real system, but for driver development, one of these
machines would do.

So I have located a few boards, mostly designed as
PMC carrier baseboards. Has anyone used these?

Actis computer       CSBC-6440        440GP
Momentum Computer    Civet-C          440GP
Extreme Engineering  XChange1100/2/4  440GX

Since these boards are designed as carrier boards,
they all use a 21555 transparent/or non-transparent
PCI-to-PCI bridge. I was planning to connect the
440EP directly to the cPCI bus (or at least via
3.3V/5V buffers), so the driver designed against one
of these carrier boards would not quite be identical
(since the host would talk to the 21555 bridge,
not the 440 bridge). So, I might not follow this
route. Alternatively, I could use a PMC, or PrPMC
board, and develop the drivers that way, eg.

Extreme Engineering    Xpedite1000/1  440GX
Artisyn Technologies   PmPPC          440GP

So - anyone have a favorite?

Cheers

David:

I've already done the Das u-boot port for the Xpedite1k, and its released.

If that makes it any easier for you to decided.

Granted the port was done for monarch mode, not non-monarch, but it 
should be simple
enough to change that.

Hey Travis,

Yeah, that'll definitely help. Do you recall how much you paid for
the board? I'll get a quote.

Artesyn PM/PPC 750 U-Boot/Linux support? Datasheet?

[David Hawkins]

Hi all,

I was searching around eBay last night to see what old
PowerPC based equipment I could buy for development work.

There is a used-equipment seller with a 125 Artesyn
PM/PPC-750 units for sale at $50 ea. It looks like this
is an end-of-life part for Artesyn, since the data
sheet is no longer on their web (they have only the
newer parts).

The PowerPC appears to be a 603e-type processor, whereas
I'm really more interested in the 440 Book E, and so
the Artesyn PM/PPC-440 is probably what I should look
at (or the Xpedite1k since Travis said he's ported it
to U-Boot).

But hey, if anyone else is looking for toys ...
also if anyone has the datasheet for this board, and
can confirm that I could put U-Boot and Linux on
it, I'd seriously consider offering $50 for a couple.

The eBay search was for cPCI, the company selling
the parts is OSTI sales direct.

Cheers
Dave

> also if anyone has the datasheet for this board

Artesyn just sent me the PDF, so if anyone needs it,
feel free to ask.
