2.1.3 SUN 4 to Command Converter Interface
The Motorola SBus/ADS Interface board is designed to be installed in an SBus slot on a
Sun SPARC station or compatible workstation. The board provides a parallel
communication path between the workstation and a Motorola DSP development system.
2.1.3.1 Installing the Sun-4 Interface
The Motorola SBus/ADS Interface is delivered ready to install in your SBus system.
There are no user-configurable jumpers or hardware configurable options. Please consult
the “SPARC station xxx Installation Guide” or the board installation instructions supplied
with your SBus system for installation details. Following is a summary of the instructions
in the Sun manual:
1. Save all open files, then shut down your system with the following series of
commands:
hostname% /bin/su
Password: mypasswd
hostname# /usr/etc/halt
Wait for the following messages:
Syncing file systems... done
Halted
Program Terminated
Type b(boot), c(continue), n(new command mode)
2. When these messages appear, you can safely turn off the power to the system unit.
Turn off power to the system, but keep the power cord plugged in. Open the system
unit. Be sure to attach a grounding strap to your wrist and to the metal casing of the
power supply. Follow the instructions supplied with your system to gain access to
the SBus slots.
3. Remove the SBus slot filler panel for the desired slot from the inner surface of the
back panel of the system unit. Note that the Motorola SBus/ADS Interface board is
a slave-only board and thus will function in any available SBus slot.
4. Slide the SBus board at an angle into the back panel of the system unit. Make sure
that the mounting plate on the SBus board hooks into the holes on the back panel of
the system unit.
