11.3Schristos$NetBSD: README,v 1.3 2005/12/11 12:17:04 christos Exp $ 21.1Sdrochner 31.1SdrochnerThis is a port of NetBSD to the FIC8234 VME processor board, made by the 41.1Sdrochnerswiss company CES (Geneve). These boards are (or have been) popular in 51.1Sdrochnerhigh energy physics data acquisition (think of CERN!). See 61.1Sdrochnerhttp://www.ces.ch/Products/CPUs/FIC8234/FIC8234.html 71.1Sdrochnerfor some technical data. 81.1Sdrochner 91.1SdrochnerThe highlights: 101.1Sdrochner- MC68040 processor at 25 MHz (optional dual-processor) 111.1Sdrochner- 8 or 32 MByte RAM 121.1Sdrochner- 2 serial ports on Z85c30 131.1Sdrochner- 79c900 (ILACC) ethernet 141.1Sdrochner- 53c710 SCSI 151.1Sdrochner 161.1SdrochnerThe port is quite rudimentary at the moment. The kernel is started out of 171.1Sdrochnera running OS-9 system. SCSI support is not present yet, so it only works 181.1Sdrochnerdiskless with NFS (or ramdisk - not tested) root. 191.1SdrochnerIt is good enough for multiuser, self-hosting etc. however. 201.1Sdrochner 211.1SdrochnerTo start it: 221.1Sdrochner- make OS image by "objcopy --output-target=binary netbsd <imagename>" 231.1Sdrochner- load image to physical address 0x20100000 (RAM start + 1M) 241.1Sdrochner- jump to 0x20100400 251.1Sdrochner 261.1SdrochnerFor questions and contributions, contact Matthias Drochner 271.2Skeihan(drochner@NetBSD.org). 28
