chassis are not configured as system controller. Having more than one
device configured as system controller will damage the VXI/VME
system.
For VXI systems that include VME devices, ensure that the VME
devices are not configured in the upper 16 KB (starting from 0xC000)
of the A16 address space. This region is reserved for VXI device
configuration registers, which are used for initializing, configuring, and
interacting with VXI devices. The PCI-MXI-2 and VME-MXI-2 also
use this region for this purpose.
Also ensure that no VXI devices in your system are configured for
either logical addresses 0 or 1. These are the default configurations for
the PCI-MXI-2 and the VXI-MXI-2, respectively.
For more details on the VXI-MXI-2 or VME-MXI-2 hardware, refer to
either Chapter 3, VXI-MXI-2 Configuration and Installation, or
Chapter 4, VME-MXI-2 Configuration and Installation.
