The Communication Automation Corporation V6M6 6U VME Carrier Board can hold up to six plug-in modules. The V6M6 and its modules together occupy a single VME slot.
A variety of module types are available to perform general purpose processing, digital signal processing, and I/O interface functions. Any mix of module types may be installed on the V6M6, subject to certain physical limitations such as I/O connector accessibility.
The six module sites on the V6M6 are interconnected by two buses. The first is a PCI bus, electrically compatible with the standard PCI bus used in PC applications. The second bus is a proprietary Time Division Multiplexed (TDM) bus typically used to carry isochronous (constant bit rate) data such as digitized audio.
In addition, the "S" option of the V6M6 (i.e. V6M6/S) includes an interface between the TDM bus and the standard VITA 6-1994 SCSA bus on the VME P2 connector.
The host (VME) interface provides PIO ports to access the module sites and global memory. Each PIO port is implemented as a set of three registers: a Control / Status Register, an Address Register, and a Data Register. Access to these registers is controlled via the Unix device interface by a special device driver. A library of C-callable functions, the V6M6 Host Application Library, is provided for application programmers to access and utilize the interface for data transfer and module control operations.
The V6M6 Communication Automation Corporation 6U VME Carrier Board may still be available for purchase and support from Artisan Technology Group beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
