     1.1  drochner
     1.1  drochner This is a port of NetBSD to the FIC8234 VME processor board, made by the
     1.1  drochner swiss company CES (Geneve). These boards are (or have been) popular in
     1.1  drochner high energy physics data acquisition (think of CERN!). See
     1.1  drochner http://www.ces.ch/Products/CPUs/FIC8234/FIC8234.html
     1.1  drochner for some technical data.
     1.1  drochner
     1.1  drochner The highlights:
     1.1  drochner - MC68040 processor at 25 MHz (optional dual-processor)
     1.1  drochner - 8 or 32 MByte RAM
     1.1  drochner - 2 serial ports on Z85c30
     1.1  drochner - 79c900 (ILACC) ethernet
     1.1  drochner - 53c710 SCSI
     1.1  drochner
     1.1  drochner The port is quite rudimentary at the moment. The kernel is started out of
     1.1  drochner a running OS-9 system. SCSI support is not present yet, so it only works
     1.1  drochner diskless with NFS (or ramdisk - not tested) root.
     1.1  drochner It is good enough for multiuser, self-hosting etc. however.

     1.1  drochner To start it:
     1.1  drochner - make OS image by "objcopy --output-target=binary netbsd <imagename>"
     1.1  drochner - load image to physical address 0x20100000 (RAM start + 1M)
     1.1  drochner - jump to 0x20100400
