1) Motorola 16/32 Bit Product Line:
=====================================
Motorola introduced its first microprocessor in 1974: the 8 bit MC6800 with
an extensive line of support peripherals soon available. The MC68000 was
introduced in 1979 and was soon followed by a host of 16 bit peripheral
chips. The 6800 and 68000 families soon became very popular due to their
straightforward architecture and simple and easy to use bus connections.
The original 6800 evolved into the 6502 (MOS Technology ie Apple ][), 6802,
6805, 6809, HC11 and the HC16 series. Motorola also manufactured an unusual
one (1) bit CPU called the MC14500 Industrial Control Unit (ICU). It is
still listed in their current Master Selection Guide.
The first member of the 68K family - the MC68000, is not software compatible
with the 8 bit 6800 series which includes the 68HC11 series. The 68K family
itself is upwards software compatible. There are no multiplexed pins on the
68000 series. The instruction set is noted for being orthogonal.
The two Motorola divisions of interest here are the High Performance MPU and
the Advanced Micro-Controller Unit (AMCU). The High Performance Group deals
with the MC680x0 series, 68306, 68307, 68322, 68340, 68341 and 68349. The
rest (including 680x, 68HC11, 68HC16) are from the AMCU division except the
68360, 68302 and 68356 which are from the Communications Division.
This FAQ divides the 68K family into three sections - MC680x0, MC68EC0x0 and
the MC68300 series. A short section on 8/16 bit processors follows.
The Motorola integrated circuit product line (almost all of it) has the
prefix of "MC" as in MC68030. 68030 and '030 are short forms of this. A
prefix of "XC" indicates a part not yet fully qualified. A prefix of "SC"
designates a part specially made for a customer. The terms M68K or 68K
represent the 68000 processor line in general as in comp.sys.m68k.
( K = 10^3 or ,000 in scientific circles)
A "*" as in DTACK* signifies the signal is active or true in the low state
if level sensitive or on the presence of a negative edge if edge triggered.
A byte is 8 bits, a word 16 bits and a long word is 32 bits. The prefix "$"
as in $7F or $128 signifies a hexadecimal number.
Motorola was originally the Galvin Mfg. Co in the early thirties. The name
"Motorola" came from the fact that Motorola was once a major player in
automobile radios hence the "motor". Autos were called "motor cars"
("motors" by those who were "hip") in the 1930s. The "ola" is the "derived
2nd element of pianola" according to the Oxford dictionary. Pianola was a
turn-of-the-century machine that played pianos. The "ola" is a suffix used
to form commercial nouns such as used in the music industry ie "Victrola";
just as "tronics" is a suffix commonly used today by electronics firms.
A) MC680x0
------------
The original MC68000 has the following general features:
* CISC - Complex Instruction Set Computer architecture.
* eight 32 bit general purpose data registers (D0-D7).
* eight 32 bit general purpose address registers (A0-A7).
(A7 is the stack pointer - user or supervisor)
* 32 bit Program Counter - linear 4 gigabyte - no paging or segments.
* 16 bit external data bus - needs 16 bit ROM and RAM for system.
Can access 8 or 16 bit memory and peripheral devices.
* 16 Mbyte linear addressing range (23 bit plus Upper* and Lower*
data strobes for an effective 24 bit range), 32 bit with 68020.
* 56 Instruction types - over 1000 useful permutations are possible.
* memory mapped I/O. (peripheral registers addressed as memory).
* 14 addressing modes on a contiguous address space (no segments).
* 5 main data types. (bit, byte, BCD, word and long word).
* Supervisor and User states. Stack Pointer A7 is set to
User (USP) or Supervisor SP (SSP) by a bit in the status register.
* Exception processing and 7 levels of interrupts.
* Tracing function - each instruction ends in a TRAP to user program.
* Asynchronous bus structure. Uses DTACK* from the peripheral chip.
* non-multiplexed address and data buses - interfaces with LS-TTL.
* Bus Arbitration Control circuitry.
* 5 volt NMOS dynamic construction. (the 68HC000 is a CMOS 68000)
The 68HC000 is a CMOS version of the NMOS MC68000.
The 68EC000 is a CMOS version of the 68000 with a switchable (at reset) 8 or
16 bit data bus. It is not a static device - the minimum clock frequency is
4 Mhz. It is designed for the embedded controller market.
Exception processing results from interrupts, TRAP instructions, a bus or
address error or a reset. This feature simplifies software development by
detecting bugs and errors and helps prevent "run-away" conditions. The
Exception Vector table is normally made of 255 32 bit vectors using 1024
bytes of memory starting at location 0. The CPU loads the appropriate
vector, containing the 32 bit address of the routine to service the
exception, from this table at the occurrence of an exception such as reset,
bus or address error, word access to odd memory location, TRAP and others.
This table is usually constructed in RAM by the operating system during the
initialization period. There are 192 user interrupt vectors reserved. The
initial SSP (Supervisor Stack Pointer) and initial PC (for RESET) occupy
memory location $0 and $4 which usually maps out to ROM. The CPU can only
switch from USER mode to the SUPERVISOR mode via exception processing.
The majority of programs are meant to execute in the User Mode. The
Supervisor Mode is used by the operating system to access system resources.
The processor is in the Supervisor Mode at RESET. A system can operate
continuously in the Supervisor Mode.
MC68008:
The 68008 is a MC68000 with a 8 bit data bus in a 48 pin DIP or a 52 pin
PLCC. The RAM, ROM and peripheral chips must have 8 bit data paths. The
DIP package address bus is 20 bits (1 mbyte) and the PLCC device has 22 bits
(4 mbytes). A0 is present on both these parts. The 68008 is listed as "not
recommended for new designs". Other devices such as the MC68HC001, 68EC000
and the 68302 have a switchable (at reset) 8 or 16 bit data bus.
MC68010:
The 68010 is a 68000 with the addition of virtual machine and virtual memory
capabilities and a "loop mode" which acts like a 3 word instruction cache.
This processor is listed as "not for new designs".
A 68010 will plug into a 68000 socket and work in most systems. Three new
registers are added. The Vector Base Register (VBR) determines where in
memory the vector table is located which allows for multiple tables to
implement the virtual machine and memory functions. The Alternate Function
Code Registers (SFC and DFC) allow the Supervisor mode to access user data
space or emulate CPU space cycles. The instruction set is essentially the
same for the 68000/08/10. The 68010 supports modular programming. The
CPU32 processor used in the 68300 series is a 68010 with some 68020
instructions added.
MC68020:
The MC68020 incorporates 32 bit address and data paths and Dynamic Bus
Sizing to "size" peripherals and memory on a cycle-by-cycle basis to 8, 16
or 32 bit lengths using signals supplied by external hardware to the SIZ0-1
pins. The 68020 is software compatible to all earlier 68K members.
A co-processor interface is provided in the instruction set. All virtual
features of the 68010 are preserved. The multiply and divide instructions
use 32 bit operands and branch displacements can be 32 bits. A new data
type, the "quad word" is 64 bits and used in the multiply and divide
instructions. Over 20 new instructions have been added. A 256 byte
instruction cache has been added along with two cache registers (CACR and
CAAR). A Master Stack Pointer (MSP) (32 bits) has been added to facilitate
Multi-Tasking Operating Systems.
MC68030:
The MC68030 is essentially an improved 68020. The MC68030 incorporates a
paged memory management unit (MMU) and 256 byte instruction and data caches
(modified Harvard Architecture). The internal MMU implements most of the
functions of the MC68851 MMU. Two 64 bit, three 32 bit and one 16 bit
registers have been added for MMU control functions. The improved bus
interface supports "burst mode", asynchronous and synchronous memory
accesses as well as dynamic bus sizing support. The Burst Mode fills the
data and instruction caches with bytes from external memory independently
with four accesses in a row. Many functions of the 68030 operate in
parallel increasing throughput. The 68030 can switch between synchronous
and asynchronous modes "on the fly". The '030 is a device useful for new
designs and is available in PGA and surface mount packages up to 50 Mhz.
MC68040:
The MC68040 adds a Floating Point Unit (FPU), separate memory managers for
data and instruction memory and 4 Kbyte data and instruction caches. The
'040 has 32 bit data and address busses with synchronous bus cycles and uses
a full Harvard architecture. The 68040 (as well as the 68060) does not
support dynamic bus sizing as in the '020 and '030. The MC68150 will add
this feature to the '040 and '060. A new instruction, "Move16", has been
added which performs 16 byte block transfers using burst read and writes for
high speed.
The built-in FPU utilizes most of the instructions of the MC68882 FPU. For
a no-cost software package that simulates the unimplemented instructions,
see 040_fpsp under A) Free Software Available. The MC68040 is used in
current high power computer systems.
There is a special companion mode on the MC68360 QUICC to replace the CPU32+
with a MC68EC040 to increase performance of the QUICC. The 360/EC040 pair
reportedly performs at 22 MIPS @ 25 Mhz.
MC68050:
There is no known 68050 part. The rumour on the Net is that since people
were pairing Intel and Motorola processors by part number - ie 6800/8080,
68000/8086, 68010/80186, 68020/80286, 68030/80386 and so on - Motorola
decided to break the pattern and jump from the '040 directly to the '060.
I have never seen any information from Motorola to suggest this story is
true - it is just rumour. It does make appropriate marketing sense.
Signetics once (still?) made a Scc68070 that is similar to the MC68000.
The official word from Motorola is that odd numbered parts represent minor
changes from the previous chip. Even numbers are for major part changes.
Another rumour is that the '050 existed at least on paper but when it was
shown to major customers, this prototype did not fit into their strategic
plans since it was only an improved '040. In view of this, Motorola decided
to skip the '050 and go straight to the '060 which also existed on paper
then and better fit into the strategies of major customers.
MC68060:
This is the latest and most powerful member of the 68K family. The '060 is
designed as an upgrade from a '040 with 2.5 to 3.5 times the performance of
the 25 mhz '040. It uses Superscalar pipelined architecture which means it
can perform more than one instruction at a time. The 68060 allows
simultaneous execution of two integer instructions (or 1 integer and 1 float
instruction) and one branch during each clock cycle. A branch cache allows
most branches to execute in zero cycles. This CPU has some RISC processor
features. The chip is all hardwired - there is no microcode in it. It
incorporates a JTAG interface to help simplify the debugging process.
The on-board caches have been increased to 8 Kbytes each and the '060 has
2.5 million transistors on the single die. The '060 uses various dynamic
power management techniques to reduce power consumption. The '060 has a
clock speed of 50 Mhz currently with a future model at 66 Mhz and since the
'060 is a static device, the clock has no lower limit and can even be
stopped. This part operates at a Vcc of 3.3 volts and interfaces to both 3
and 5 volt peripherals. The input pins can swing between 0 and 5 volts and
the output pins between 0 and 3.3 volts. It has been available as a sample
part for some time now and is probably now entering quantity production.
This may be the last member of the 68K family. The '060 does not support
dynamic bus sizing except with the addition of the MC68150 chip.
The '060 offers 100 MIPS @ 66mhz and 250 million operations per second @ 50
mhz. SPECint = 50 @ 50Mhz. There is a M68060 software package (M68060SP)
that supplies software emulation for unimplemented integer instructions, FPU
software and other library subroutines. This package is available on the
Motorola BBS system and now, AESOP.
Apple Computer has announced it will not use the MC68060 in the Macintosh.
It has switched to the PowerPC RISC chips. The Motorola 68000 series no
longer appears to have a future in the desktop market. The '060 will likely
find application in advanced high power embedded controllers. It has a list
price of $US 308 probably at quantity. (unverified) Motorola claims it will
add peripheral devices to the '060 in the future as it has with its 8 bit
parts. This is possible because the '060 is of a modular design. The '060
is available in a 223 PGA package and will fit into a 179 pin 68040 super-
socket. The extra '060 pins are in towards the center of the socket.
]The '060 is starting to appear in VMEbus computers from such companies as
Motorola, Heurikon, EKF, Synergy (2 '060s!) and others. There are '060
accelerator cards available for the Amiga and a European firm called Escom
will have the Amiga A4000T/060 computer on the market in late October. This
information courtesy of Rask Lambertson in Denmark. It appears the 68K line
will have a long life due to its straight forward architecture, simple bus
interface and ease of machine language programming.

NOTES:
a) 68010, 68008, 68451 are apparently no longer available from Motorola.
b) FPU (floating point arithmetic unit) has eight 80 bit registers.
c) MC68008 is a MC68000 with a 8 bit external data path and A0 pin.
d) MC68882 is an enhanced version of the MC68881. Check the appropriate
data sheets for more information and interchangeability.
e) The MC68000/10 external address bus consists of pins A1 to A23. A0 is
an internal signal. Using this scheme, the processor accesses memory
in steps of 16 bits for a maximum total of 8 mwords or 16 mbytes of
memory. The external outputs UPPER* and LOWER* data strobes can be
used to effect byte transfers. See the 68000 data sheet for more
detail. Other 68k series members have a A0 pin. All internal address
registers are 32 bit.
f) MC68060 has a 256 byte entry branch cache. It is also a 3.3 volt part.
g) MC68040V and MC68EC040V are 3.3 volt parts, the rest are 5 volts.
h) MC68HC000 is low power version of the 68000 using HCMOS technology.
i) MC68HC001 is a HC68000 with either a (at reset) 8 or 16 bit data bus.
j) The MC68040V, 68LC040, 68EC040 or 68EC040V do not have a FPU.
k) The MC68HC000 is a CMOS (low power) version of the MC68000.
l) The MC68EC020 is a low cost '020. It has a 24 bit address bus.
m) HCMOS= CMOS combined with HMOS (high density NMOS)
B) MC68EC0x0 and MC68LC0x0
----------------------------
This family is essentially a subset of the MC680x0 product line. It is
designed for low cost embedded controller applications. The major
differences between the two are listed below. Check the appropriate data
sheet for more detailed information.
a) MC68EC000 is a MC68000 with selectable 8 or 16 bit data bus and A0.
b) MC68EC020 is a MC68020 with a 24 bit address bus rather than 32 bits.
c) MC68EC030 is a MC68030 without a paged memory manager (PMMU).
d) MC68LC040 is a MC68040 without a built-in math coprocessor (FPU).
e) MC68EC040 is a MC68040 without a memory manager or built-in FPU.
f) MC68LC060 is a MC68060 without a built-in math coprocessor (FPU)
g) MC68EC060 is a MC68060 without a memory manager or built-in FPU.
External FPUs (MC68881/2) are not easily attached to 68000/08/10, 68EC040
or 68LC040 processors since the co-processor instructions are not present on
these CPUs.
C) MC68300 series
-------------------
This series incorporates various peripherals into various 68K core
processors. They may be called "integrated processors". The core
processors are the 68EC000 and CPU32. The CPU32 is derived from the 68020
processor. The CPU32 has a 16 bit data bus and the extended version
(CPU32+) incorporates a full 32 bit data bus. The CPU32 and CPU32+ have a
built-in background debugging mode (BDM) in the internal microcode.

NOTES:
a) The MC68360 has an optional -dual- Ethernet capability. (MC68EN360)
b) The 68349 has a 1 kbyte instruction cache or a 2k static ram. This
memory has four partitions, each can be configured as cache or ram.
c) The 68349 is known as "Dragon I" and is the most powerful 683xx.
d) The serial channels in the MC68360 have a totally transparent mode
which is useful since it can act as a ISDN controller.
e) The HC16 series use the same modules as the 683xx series. The HC16
series use a CPU16 which is upwardly code-compatible with the HC11.
f) There is a new 68360 - MC68MH360.
General Notes on the MC683xx Series:

c) The CPU32+(with cache) (as in the 68349) is referred to as a CPU030.
A CPU030 is a CPU32+, a configurable instruction cache and a quad
memory module. A CPU030 has performance comparable to a MC68030.
Memory management is not supported in the MC68349.
d) Chip Selects X - programmable CS pins to select external peripherals.
e) ? - I do not have the data sheet for this device.
f) PGA avail - Pin Grid Array. Easier to use as surface mount devices are
difficult to solder. (but not impossible)
g) These devices are very complicated. It is impossible to outline all
the possible features. Refer to the appropriate data sheet.
h) Some devices have built-in background debuggers. See data sheets.
i) GPT = General Purpose Timer. See the appropriate data sheets.
j) The 68HC16 series is not software compatible with the 68k series.

This will be the next new section in this FAQ. Next month perhaps.
E) Peripheral Chips
---------------------
There is a large offering of peripheral chips available from various
manufacturers. The MC68230 PIT (Parallel Interface/Timer) and the MC68901
MFP (Multi-Function Peripheral) are common and very useful. 68K peripheral
devices have a DTACK* output that signals acknowledgement of the bus cycle
to the CPU - this is how the asynchronous bus functions in the 68k family.
Devices from other families can be used with some ingenuity in the
interface. The multiplexed bus on other competitive products and the lack
of the DTACK* acknowledgement signal are two issues. Generation of the
DTACK* signal in these situations is simple.

inappropriate for CPUs so are not shown here.
The Cray EL90 is a 1 gigaflop machine; a J916 peaks at 3.2 gigs @64 bits.
The new IBM PowerPC Embedded Processor PPC403GA may achieve 72k dhrystones.
A PowerPC NT 3.51 running in a Msdos mode gave 13k and 83k in native mode.
(these two not confirmed as accurate). A 486 50 Mhz returned around 20k.

H) PowerPc - MPC601, MPC603, MPC604 series.
--------------------------------------------
The PowerPC series are Reduced Instruction Set Computers (RISC). They were
developed by Motorola, IBM and Apple Computer. These processors are
featured in Macintosh, Motorola, VMEbus and IBM computers. Neither the 601,
603 or the 604 seem to have a Program Counter or Stack Pointers in the
MC680x0 sense. See Motorola's Web site at http://www.mot.com/SPS/PowerPC.
The 601 has three execution units: an Integer Unit (IU), a Branch
Processing Unit (BPU) and a Floating Point Unit (FPU). It also has a MMU,
RTC and a unified instruction and data cache with a separate L2 cache
interface. It is a superscalar processor capable of processing 3
instructions per clock cycle.
Motorola has never manufactured the 601. The sole world source is an IBM
facility in Canada. Motorola is/will be making the 603, 604 and 620.
MPC601 Features: (the first PowerPC chip, used in current Apple desktops)
* Thirty-two 32 bit General Purpose Registers (GPR). (user level)
* Thirty-Two 64 bit Floating Point Registers (FPR). (user level)
* Six 32 bit Special Purpose Registers (SPR). (user level)
* Twenty-seven 32 bit Special Purpose Registers (SPR). (supervisor)
* Sixteen 32 bit Segment Registers (SR) (supervisor). (for MMU)
* Exception processing - uses vector offset table.
* 32 bit address bus - linear, not multiplexed or segmented.
* 64 bit data bus - not multiplexed (address bus not multiplexed).
* single-beat (1-8 bytes) and burst (32 bytes) data transfers.
* Two levels of privilege - Supervisor and User modes.
* Floating Point Unit (FPU) - supports all IEEE 754 data types.
* Memory Management Unit (MMU) - 52 bit virtual memory address.
* 32 Kbyte unified data and instruction cache - with bus snooping.
* 3.3 volt CMOS part - interfaces with TTL devices, 5.6 to 8.0 watts.
* 2.5 volt part - MPC601v
* 50, 66, 80 Mhz versions - 304 pin quad flat pack ceramic package.
* uses instruction set from the IBM RS6000 Workstation.
* the IBM RS/6000 Model 41 uses a 601 CPU @ 80 Mhz.
* RS6000 binaries will run on the 601 at full speed.
The 601 data types are: integer (8/16/32 bits), floating point (32/64 bits)
Instructions are grouped into these six categories: (MPC601)
* Integer - compare, rotate, shift, computational and logical.
* Floating Point - arithmetic, rounding, conversion, compare, *, +.
* Load/store - integer and floating load, store and move.
* Flow control - branching, trap, condition register logical.
* Processor control - move to/from SPRs, MSR, sync memory accesses.
* Memory control - control of caches, segment registers, lookaside.
The MPC603 is a low power version for use in battery operated portables and
is used in Apple Powerbooks. It is made by Motorola in Austin, Texas and by
IBM in Burlington, Vermont.
The MPC604 will be available in early 1995. It is similar to the 601 with
separate 16 Kbyte data and instruction caches (Harvard Architecture),
separate data and instruction MMUs, 3 Integer Units and a Load/Store Unit.
The SPECint and fp 92 values are 160 and 165 @100 mhz. A 100 Mhz 604 will
have twice the performance of a 80 mhz 601 and 50% more at floating point.
The MPC620 (64 bit) will be used in the next generation Apple desktops. It
has an embedded L2 cache and reportedly can perform six (6) instructions per
clock cycle. It is aimed at high end desktops, Workgroup servers and
similar machines. It has a SPECint rating of 200 @ 150 mhz. SPEC ratings
are most valuable for systems and not processors so be careful with these.

Motorola's first RISC processors are the MC88100 (CPU and FPU) and the
MC88200 (cache and MMU). They have separate address and data busses for
instruction and data memory space. The PowerPC is not an upgrade of these
parts. The 88100 family are presumably still available, but no longer
appear to have a high profile in Motorola's present product matrix.
I) PowerPC Embedded Controllers
--------------------------------
The IBM PPC403GA is a 32 bit processor rumoured to deliver 72k Dhrystones
per second @ 33 Mhz. It has a DMA, DRAM and I/O controllers, two-way
associative instruction and data caches, serial port and multiple timer
facilities. It runs at 3.3 volts and interfaces with both 3.3 and 5 volt
peripheral parts. It comes in a 160 pin PQFP package and is priced at $49
@ 25 Mhz for 1000 pieces. It is being sampled now with volume production
expected by the end of 1994 and 33 Mhz version is expected in early 1995.
The Motorola MPC505 has a floating point unit, 4 kbytes static ram, 4 Kbytes
instruction cache, 32 bit RISC processor, 32 x 32 bits general purpose
register file and 32 x 64 bits FP register file. There are chip selects, a
watchdog timer and various I/O ports. It comes in a 160 pin QFP package @25
Mhz and with a clock speed of 25 Mhz and uses a 3.3 volt power supply. It
will be sampled in November 1994 and is initially priced at $75 for small
quantities. A 144 pin package will be offered later. Volume pricing is
expected to be $55 by 1995 and down to $25 by 1997.
J) Other Manufacturers
------------------------
Philips, Toshiba and Signetics make (made) M68K family processors. Motorola
has not second sourced any of the higher number processors such as the '020
and up. This is certainly an incomplete list:
Philips - SCC68070 ( availability uncertain ). CMOS 68k core, similar
to 68010 but no VBR or SFC/DFC. Includes 2 DMA channels,
UART, IIC bus controller, 2 - 16 bit counter, a basic MMU and
on-chip oscillator.
- SCC68692 - CMOS 68681 DUART - with power-down mode & receiver
time-outs
- SC68C94 - also SC26C94. Dual CMOS 68681 (4 UARTs) with 8
byte FIFOs on Tx and Rx. Extended baud rate set.
Signetics - 90C100 family, 93C100 (Signetics is owned by Philips)
Toshiba - TMP68301 - 68HC000 + UART, parallel I/O, timer, interrupt
controller, chip selects. 12 or 16 Mhz clock.
TMP68303 - 68HC000 + UART, parallel I/O, timer, chip selects,
DMA, interrupt and DRAM controllers. 12 and 16 Mhz.
Stepper motor controller. PQFP100 package (TMP68301 also).
Sonnet Technologies Inc., Irvine, California (714) 261-2800 manufacture
"booster" chip assemblies for Macintosh MC68020/030/040 computers. This
system works by interfacing a higher speed Motorola processor to the lower
speed system bus. The computer speed is "boosted" by utilizing the internal
data and/or instruction caches of the higher speed processor. A "mathless"
68LC040 computer can be upgraded using a 68040 which includes the math
processor. There is a possibility these parts could be used in other
systems since they operate "invisibly". Sonnet also sell MC68882 math
chips. See under E) Integrated Circuit Prices for prices.
K) Interesting places M68K devices are used
---------------------------------------------
The 68349 is known as "Dragon I" and is the most powerful 683xx.
The new SONY Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) will use this device.
A Canadian firm, Crossbow Electronics in Richmond Hill Ontario make some
interesting custom boards utilizing MC68K processors. Things like radar
processing and satellite terminals.
Tee-Comm, a Canadian Direct-To-Home satellite systems manufacturer, uses the
MC68306 microprocessor in its receiver-decoder.
The Winwriter 150c printer from Lexmark uses a 68EC000 processor.
The HP Deskjet series use Motorola CPUs.
The HP 9000/s300 workstations for many years used the 68010/20/30/40 series.
The new Amiga computer made by Escom in Europe use the '040 and '060.
2) Software Sources

Not listed here are assemblers, cross-assemblers, C compilers, debuggers
etc. for 68HC11 series, 68701, 68HC16, MC68332, MC68302, MC68360 and Digital
Signal Processors (DSP). There is Macintosh software also. These files are
all available on the Motorola BBS and most ftp sites. (see below)
For a low cost C Compiler, see Introl's special offer below.
Two syntaxes exist for M68k assembler source code - the Motorola and the MIT
versions. As an example, the Motorola syntax is move.l xxx and the MIT
syntax is movel xxx. These types of differences must be resolved before the
source code can be compiled. This problem seems to be found in GCC code and
appears to result from the inability of MIT's computer system to handle a
".". Rolf Spalink's file mit2mot.tar.gz converts from one syntax to the
other. FTP from (nyquist.ee.ualberta.ca/pub/motorola/portable or
ftp.luth.se/pub/misc/motorola/m68k).

ftp:// at Hitex somewhere - email me!
VMEbus modules are state-of-the-art and are used to construct very powerful
and rugged computer systems. The VMEbus is an industrial open standard
system. VMEbus boards have data bus sizes of 16, 32 or 64 bits. VMEbus
boards contain processors such as DEC Alpha, MIPS, i960, various DSP chips,
AM29000 (RISC chip), PowerPC and 80486 in addition to the Motorola 680x0
line. Many peripheral boards exist including VGA, telecom, analyzers, data
acquisition, video processors and memory (1 gigabyte!). The VXIbus is an
instrumentation bus compatible with the VMEbus.
A PMC (PCI Mezzanine Interface) is a proposed IEEE specification for a low
profile mezzanine expansion bus for VMEbus, Multibus II and Futurebus+
systems. It has a 32 or 64 bit bus and has the same electrical
specifications as the PCI bus (Peripheral Interconnect Bus).
There are over 200 vendors supplying products to the VMEbus community.
VMEbus suppliers are most active in the USA, Germany and Canada and range
from large corporations to small custom shops.
Information resources for the VMEbus come mainly from two sources: VITA and
the VMEbus Systems Magazines edited by John Black. For complete information
on how to contact these groups; see the VMEbus FAQ.
Manufacturers
--------------
There are many manufacturers of VMEbus computer modules worldwide. Post to
comp.arch.bus.vmebus for more information. Many VMEbus CPU boards have a
built-in monitor program similar to the TUTOR monitor and have a RS-232 port
that can be hooked up to a terminal or a host computer. Programs can be
entered with the simple assembler/disassembler and executed. Peripheral
devices can be attached easily to these boards. These boards are often
available used and the older ones with 68000/10 CPUs have a low cost(<$50).
A neat setup is a VMEbus board with an internal monitor program connected to
an IBM PC with a RS-232 port using a common communication program and an
assembler such as 68asmsim or as68k. (Telix works good - treat the VMEbus as
a modem) A power supply from an IBM PC will power a VMEbus board.(+5,+-12
volt)

C) Indiana University 68030 single board project
--------------------------------------------------------
The schematics (in Postscript), GERBER artwork for the PCBs, sources and
images for the monitor and PAL programming and some documentation are
available via ftp from cs.indiana.edu/pub/goo/mc68030/.
This board uses a floppy disk, IDE hard drive, VGA monitor, a ISA bus and
SIMM memory chips. It uses the MINIX operating system (copyrighted), NetBSD
and bootp code to run either a wd8003 or 3c501 Ethernet card.
The contact person is Ingo Cyliax (cyliax@cs.indiana.edu).
Ingo is also working on some 68302 designs. He has a minimum mode (8 bit)
68302 design that can load S-records from a PC parallel port.
The schematic is available in: cs.indiana.edu/pub/goo/uC2
He has added info about the '030 and 68302 board to his hyplan, the URL is:
http://www.cs.indiana.edu/hyplan/cyliax.html
and he will add data as he works on it. He also is working on uC3, which is
a 16 bit mode 68302 with PC/104 interface and takes up to 8Mb of DRAM.
D) Consumer computers and Workstations
----------------------------------------
Computers that use the 68K series of processors are Atari, Amiga, Apple
MacIntosh and some older Radio Shack models. Opportunities for
experimentation may reside in some of these machines. Cross compilers, such
as amigacc68k.lha, are available via ftp for the Amiga.
There are older workstations that use M68K processors that may be available
for low prices. The Sun 3/60 is very popular in the education field and the
HP 9000 310 uses a 68010 and the 320 uses a 68020 CPU. The NeXT cube has a
68030 and the SGI Iris 3000 uses a 68020. The AT&T 3b1 computer uses a
68010, has a newsgroup on USENET and is a cheap way to get a SYS V UNIX.
E) Integrated Circuits Prices
-------------------------------
Prices given are from Canadian sources in small quantities in Canadian
dollars. Multiply CDN$ by approximately 0.75 to obtain US$ figures. All
prices are for reference only and may (will) vary widely due to quantity

4) Construction Information
=============================
I guess this is next, well, I am off to grad school so...next year.
Well, I am now out of Grad school (MIS), so maybe for January 1996......
5) General Specifications
===========================
A) Integrated Circuit Package Information
-------------------------------------------
DIP Dual-in-line-Package only 68000/08/10/12/68HC000
PGA Pin Grid Array (ceramic) easy for hand construction
PPGA Pin Grid Array (plastic) "" ""
PLCC Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier not generally soldered
QFP Quad Flat Package (plastic) difficult to hand solder
CQFP Ceramic Quad Flat Package "" ""
BGA Ball Grid Array impossible to hand solder {??}
The DIP is the familiar package with the flexible pins at 0.10 inch spacing.
This is the oldest package type used with the 68K family.
The PGA (and PPGA) is a square package with rigid pins coming out the
bottom. Usually socketed and the pins have a 0.10 inch spacing.
The PLCC are meant to be in sockets soldered to a circuit board. They have
a pin spacing of 0.050 inch. The package is square.
The QFP and the CQFP are surface mount devices and are the latest package
type used with the 68K family. The package is square with a pin spacing of
a mere 0.025 inches making hand soldering difficult but not impossible.
Generally, specialized soldering equipment is needed but many people solder
with a sharp tipped iron. The pins are flexible but due to their short
length cannot be bent very much. AMP (a plug and socket manufacturer)
apparently manufacture sockets for these packages. 3M may be another
source. The sockets have a 0.10 inch spacing for easier construction.
The pins on a BGA package are solder-balls that are melted with special
equipment to create the connection to the circuit board. The MC68356 which
is a combination 68302 and DSP56002 uses this package. Advantages are very
low profile and high pin count capacity. The BGA is also known as the OMPAC
- Overmoulded Padded Array Carrier. Extremely nasty to hand solder.
B) Pin-outs
-------------
"What is the pin for ...." is a frequently-asked-question. The question is
often asked for older processors such as 6800 and 68000. This information
is becoming available on the World-Wide-Web (WWW) and elsewhere. One place
to try is http://www.unix-ag.uni-kl.de/~hardware. This site contains
information on M680x0, 68360, 68681 and 68461 parts. Included are
instruction sets (mnemonics). Other makes of processors are at this site.
Oxford University has some CPU pinouts and instruction set information
available. The list is not up to date. To contribute contact
jonathan.bowen@comlab.ox.ac.uk. The information is available from:
http://www.comlab.ox.ac.uk/archive/cards.html or by ftp from:
ftp.comlab.ox.ac.uk/pub/Cards.
C) S-Records
--------------
S-Records are Ascii characters in a protocol developed by Motorola and is
used to transfer data and program code to and from host computers or to
store such information. Details of this protocol have been archived as
s_record.zip at nyquist.ee.ualberta.ca/pub/motorola/general and also at
ftp.luth.se/pub/misc/motorola/faq as s_record.gz.
D) CPU Clocks and Double-Clocking
-----------------------------------
CPU clock speeds are used by consumers to compare the performance of
different microprocessors. This is the classic case of comparing apples and
oranges in almost all cases. Clock speeds can only be used for comparison
with the same processor and then with care.
For example, a 1 Mhz MC6800 processor runs at the same bus speed as a 4 Mhz
MC6802: the 6802 has a divide-by-4 circuit so less expensive 4 Mhz crystals
can be used. This is also a cheap way to make a CPU seem more powerful but
runs the risk of marketing "numbers games". It is better to compare CPUs
with test programs that return comparison values such as "millions of
instructions per second (MIPS) or Dhrystones. Even then, one must be very
careful using such comparisons - see Cray under "F) Speed Comparisons".
Motorola clock frequencies should not be directly compared with other
manufacturer's frequencies.
The effective speed of a processor depends not only on clock speeds but also
on computer bus speed (ie memory speed), CPU registers, internal features
(such as caches), FPU units, external features such as external caches and
data bus width and the software used. An instruction and/or data cache
usually dramatically improves system speed. A 25 Mhz part is not
necessarily twice the speed of a 12.5 Mhz part since system speed also
depends on the external resources the CPU is connected to.
The issue of "clock-doubling" with Apple products and the 68040 is a
question often asked on the net. Apple (and others) advertises some of its
notebook computers with "33/66 or 25/50" Mhz speed designations. This has
been referred to as "clock doubling". The '040 has two clock inputs - PCLK
and BCLK. PCLK runs at twice the frequency of BCLK. BCLK (1/2 PCLK) runs
at the frequency of the part and is used to derive all bus signal timing.
PCLK (2x BCLK) is used for internal logic timing. PCLK is not present on
the 3.3 volt parts (MC68040V and 68EC040V). The 68020/030/060 do not have
this feature but the 68360 does. Use BCLK as the part's true speed.
This is not the same as Intel's "clock doubling" on the 486 Overdrive chip.
"Overclocking" refers to increasing a CPU's clock frequency beyond the
part's specification for higher performance (also called clock-chipping).
This often causes reduced reliability and higher chip temperatures. It is
usually (always?) a mistake to use this technique in a commercial product.
Sonnet's "clock doubling" or "booster" chips (for Macs) interface a slower
system bus to a higher speed processor that has internal fast caches.
E) Big and Little Endians
---------------------------
M68K processors store the most significant byte (msb) of a word (16 bits) or
long word (32 bits) or quad word (64 bits) at the lowest memory address.
This is called "big-endian" memory organization. Other processors, notably
Intel, store the least significant byte (lsb) at the lowest memory address.
This is called "little-endian". The PowerPC supports both formats with big
endian the default. This is also known as "byte ordering".
These terms reportedly stem from the Lilliputian's (in the classic book
Gulliver's Travels) arguing over whether one should crack their egg open at
the big or little end. A somewhat useless argument.
Obviously, problems arise when a big and little endian processor must share
information. One of them must swap bytes to match the other and this can be
done either in software or in hardware which is much faster. The debate of
which is better is best left to posters to comp.sys.m68k the next time the
subject comes up there. (I think it is arbitrary)
6) Literature
===============
Motorola publishes a plethora of literature ranging from product brochures
and data sheets to detailed technical application notes (AN). The "Specs in
Secs" data disk has a listing with descriptions of various documents.
Motorola seems to have intentions of placing this material on the Internet.
Application Notes are examples of applications of all Motorola products. An
example is "AN1310 - Using the MC68332 Microcontroller for AC Induction
Motor Control". Schematics, drawings and short program code are often
included in these informative and usually easy to read notes.
Article Reprints are reprints of articles from various publications that are
of interest to users of Motorola products. An example is "AR217 - The
Motorola MC68020. Articles are on the technical side yet easy to read.
Brochures are usually short yet comprehensive outlines of Motorola products.
An example is "BR176/D - M68000 Family Brochure."
Selection Guides give information needed to choose among family members.
The "Master Selection Guide" (SG73/D) lists all Motorola products. M680x0
series and the MC68300 series are in SG167/D and SG166/D respectively.
Engineering Bulletins are similar to application notes. An example is
"EB111 - The Application of a Duplexer". Design Concepts are similar and
are also listed in the "Specs in Secs" disk.
Data sheets are available in various stages of completion as the products
mature. They are Product Briefs, Technical Summary, Advanced Information
and regular. The Advanced Information is how most data sheets are made
available. Data sheets part numbers contain the device part number followed
(usually) by a /D. Examples are MC68360/D and MC68331TS/D. (TS means
"technical summary"). Data sheet books have a suffix of DL and often have
application notes in addition to specific data sheets for a family of parts.
A listing is in the "Specs in Secs" data disk.
User's Manuals contain just about everything you need to know about a device
(except price and availability and instruction set details). The part
number is the device number with a suffix of UM/AD. Examples are
MC68606UM/AD, MC68030UM/AD and MC68360UM/AD. The 68360UM is 3.5 cm thick.
Programmer's Manuals contain instruction set details such as mnemonics and
data and addressing details. Most User's Manuals contain an overview of the
instructions. Examples are M68000PM/AD (get this book) and CPU32RM/AD.
Many third party textbooks contain information about this material too.
Some more useful documents in addition to those listed above are:
BR135/D - "Applications & Products Literature Selector Guide etc" - A list
of available application notes (AN), BR, AR, EB etc documents
referenced by chip part number and product category for all
Motorola products. In Europe order as SG410/D.
BR101/D - "Technical Literature and Information Guide" This lists (with
short descriptions and prices) data books (DL), Selector Guides
and Applications Literature, User's Manuals and textbooks.
European edition - BR464/D.
FR68K/D - "M68000 Family Reference", a book that contains data sheets for
most of the current 68K family. May be M68000FR/AD.
MPC601UM/AD - PowerPc 601 RISC Processor User's Manual.
BR1133/D - High-Performance Product Portfolio Overview (HIPPO)
- a quarterly overview of 16 and 32 bit microprocessors. Too
large to fax (61 pages). SG421/D in Europe.
DL409/D - collection of Application Notes, Article Reprints etc. ($14.85)
DL408/D - as DL409/D but for 8-bit MCU parts. ($14.85)
The file "texthelp.zip" available from:
