MCAM Introduction.
This documentation is for those who are interested in knowing how the software
and therefor the PFC controller unit works. This means that persons who need
to make changes to the system should read this document including programmers.
Read also the documents PFC-INT 8 and PFC-INT 13.
PFC-INT 13 explain the protocol between MCAM and MCAD.
Futher its recommended that you read the manual of the SAB80535
Processor from Siemens. This document will descripe the way the software in
the MCA works and will include flowcharts. Although the software is well
documented I still need to give more detailed information for those who need
to make changes. Changes can not done in a way you normally would expect
because some arias are critical and therefor you have to be careful.
This document will explain the following items.
- First of all how do we compile the lot and which compiler, linker and hex
converters I was using.
- Second I will give a bit more detail information about the processor,
meaning all the usefull registers will be meantioned and explained.
- Third flowcharts of the software and explanations about the functions
in-use.
- Last item in this document will be the source-code listing of the program.
Have fun anyway............
