2.5.5 VME Control/Status Register
The VME Control/Status Register is a one byte wide register with read/write access at default address
CD 00 00 05 (HEX).
Note: All bits except bit 4 (First Slot Detection) are cleared after reset. The firmware of the board initia-
lizes some of them at startup according to the default parameters stored in the EEPROM.
Register Description
Note: All bits are cleared during a reset. FSD is set dependent on the slot position of the board in the
system. The board’s firmware initializes EN_DTR, EN_BERR2 and BADR[3-0] during startup follo-
wing default parameters stored in the serial EEPROM.
