MC68360 USER’S MANUAL
EDX was designed for use in communications environments. It provides "soft" real-time
scheduling, not the "hard" real-time scheduling needed in many event control applica-
tions.
The approximate compiled object-code sizes are as follows:
1. Chip Drivers
35K
2. LAPD
35K
3. LAPB
30K
4. X.25
60K
5. EDX
2K
Object-code sizes may be reduced from these figures if optional module features are not
compiled. A RAM scratchpad area (around 4 Kbytes) and buffer space are also required for
the modules (except for EDX).
An additional user-interface module is used on the QUADS board. The user-interface mod-
ule, which supports a window-based host program running on the host computer, interfaces
to the QUICC and each functional protocol module. This module may be used for chip eval-
uation or as a tool for debugging user-developed applications. Menu options allow the user
to issue specific commands or to examine the appropriate module's memory structures (or
the QUICC register set and on-chip dual-port RAM). The commands may result in specific
QUICC commands or in the execution of protocol-defined primitives in one of the protocol
modules.
The chip driver module is available in C-language source-code form and is included in
object-code form on the QUADS board. The source code requires no license.
The LAPB, LAPD, and X.25 modules are available in C-language source-code form and are
also included in object-code form on the QUADS board. The code requires a license from
Motorola.
NOTE
If the chip driver, LAPB, LAPD, or X.25 modules are to be used
on the QUADS board, an ADI board is also required to be able
to download register settings from your PC or SUN system.
The EDX kernel is available in C and assembler source-code form and is included in object-
code form on the QUADS board. The source code requires a license from Motorola.
Contact the local Motorola sales office for license terms.
B.2 OTHER PROTOCOL SOFTWARE SUPPORT
Third parties also offer additional protocols that may be used with the QUICC. They include
ISDN protocols such as Q.931 and general communication protocols such as TCP/IP. Con-
tact the local sales representative for information on third-party protocols.
