APPENDIX A
SERIAL STATUS FORMATS
The RVP900 can optionally generate this “internal” BITE packet. Most of
these bits are copies of data available from the GPARM command. Those
bits are labelled with “GP” followed by the word number and bit number.
For more details, see Section 7.9 Get Processor Parameters (GPARM) on
page 290. The identification byte is selectable, so that conflicts with other
BITE packets can be avoided. The 64 auxiliary status variables, labeled
S[0:63], may optionally be assigned to electrical input pins on an I/O-62
card using the softplane.conf file.
