      2  1.1  scw 
      3  1.1  scw "The Certance CP3100 product family provides high-end disk-to-disk-to-tape
      4  1.1  scw (D2D2T) functionality for small-to-medium businesses."
      5  1.1  scw 
      6  1.1  scw Physically, the CP3100 is designed to fit in a single 5.25" half-height
      7  1.1  scw drive bay. Storage is provided by a removable SATA disk integral to the unit.
      8  1.1  scw 
      9  1.1  scw To software, the hardware is very similar to the IQ80321 and IQ31244 eval
     10  1.1  scw boards from Intel. As such, we share almost all of their code.
     11  1.1  scw 
     12  1.1  scw Onboard hardware:
     13  1.1  scw 
     14  1.1  scw  - IOP321 XScale CPU. Core clock is 600MHz.
     15  1.1  scw  - 256MB SDRAM (not sure if that's true for all)
     16  1.1  scw  - Four-port Intel i31244 SATA controller. One port is connected to the
     17  1.1  scw    internal disk. The remaining three are available on the back-panel.
     18  1.1  scw  - Dual GigE ports on the back panel, using an Intel i82546EB controller.
     19  1.1  scw  - Two Symbios Logic 53c1010 SCSI controllers, one in host mode the other
     20  1.1  scw    in target mode. Both SCSI busses are available on the back panel.
     21  1.1  scw    Note that NetBSD does not support SCSI target mode.
     22  1.1  scw  - 8MB of NOR Flash, containing a fairly vanilla Redboot together with
     23  1.1  scw    a minimal compressed Linux image.
     24  1.1  scw  - Some front-panel LEDS (not yet supported).
     25  1.1  scw  - Serial console.
     26  1.1  scw 
     27  1.1  scw Power is provided via a standard 4-pin Molex connector (5v/Gnd/Gnd/12v).
     28  1.1  scw 
     29  1.1  scw The serial console is available on the back-panel "MISC" pins. Looking
     30  1.1  scw at the back-panel, with the Molex power connector at the bottom left,
     31  1.1  scw the MISC connector pin-out is:
     32  1.1  scw 
     33  1.1  scw              M I S C
     34  1.1  scw         1  3  5  7  9  11
     35  1.1  scw         .  .  .  .  .  .
     36  1.1  scw                        
     37  1.1  scw         .  .  .  .  .  .
     38  1.1  scw         2  4  6  8  10 12
     39  1.1  scw 
     40  1.1  scw There should be a jumper between pins 11-12. The serial console is
     41  1.1  scw available on pins 8, 9, and 10:
     42  1.1  scw 
     43  1.1  scw  8  - Gnd
     44  1.1  scw  9  - Tx
     45  1.1  scw  10 - Rx
     46  1.1  scw 
     47  1.1  scw No TTL-RS232 level conversion is needed. Serial parameters are 115200 8N1.
     48  1.1  scw 
     49  1.1  scw 
     50  1.1  scw Getting NetBSD onto the CP3100 is a breeze. Simply break into Redboot by
     51  1.1  scw sending ^C before it loads the Linux kernel. Run "fconfig" to set the
     52  1.1  scw network parameters to suit your set up (and set "Run script" to "false"
     53  1.1  scw while you're in there). Drop "netbsd.bin" onto your TFTP server, and
     54  1.1  scw load it onto the CP3100 using "load -r -b 0x200000 netbsd.bin" followed
     55  1.1  scw by "go".
     56  1.1  scw 
     57  1.1  scw The IQ80321 version of gzboot works fine with the CP3100, so you can use
     58  1.1  scw Redboot to program a gzboot/kernel image into onboard Flash and have it
     59  1.1  scw boot NetBSD on power-up.
