      1  1.1.8.2  yamt $NetBSD: README,v 1.1.8.2 2006/12/30 20:45:49 yamt Exp $
      2  1.1.8.2  yamt 
      3  1.1.8.2  yamt "The Certance CP3100 product family provides high-end disk-to-disk-to-tape
      4  1.1.8.2  yamt (D2D2T) functionality for small-to-medium businesses."
      5  1.1.8.2  yamt 
      6  1.1.8.2  yamt Physically, the CP3100 is designed to fit in a single 5.25" half-height
      7  1.1.8.2  yamt drive bay. Storage is provided by a removable SATA disk integral to the unit.
      8  1.1.8.2  yamt 
      9  1.1.8.2  yamt To software, the hardware is very similar to the IQ80321 and IQ31244 eval
     10  1.1.8.2  yamt boards from Intel. As such, we share almost all of their code.
     11  1.1.8.2  yamt 
     12  1.1.8.2  yamt Onboard hardware:
     13  1.1.8.2  yamt 
     14  1.1.8.2  yamt  - IOP321 XScale CPU. Core clock is 600MHz.
     15  1.1.8.2  yamt  - 256MB SDRAM (not sure if that's true for all)
     16  1.1.8.2  yamt  - Four-port Intel i31244 SATA controller. One port is connected to the
     17  1.1.8.2  yamt    internal disk. The remaining three are available on the back-panel.
     18  1.1.8.2  yamt  - Dual GigE ports on the back panel, using an Intel i82546EB controller.
     19  1.1.8.2  yamt  - Two Symbios Logic 53c1010 SCSI controllers, one in host mode the other
     20  1.1.8.2  yamt    in target mode. Both SCSI busses are available on the back panel.
     21  1.1.8.2  yamt    Note that NetBSD does not support SCSI target mode.
     22  1.1.8.2  yamt  - 8MB of NOR Flash, containing a fairly vanilla Redboot together with
     23  1.1.8.2  yamt    a minimal compressed Linux image.
     24  1.1.8.2  yamt  - Some front-panel LEDS (not yet supported).
     25  1.1.8.2  yamt  - Serial console.
     26  1.1.8.2  yamt 
     27  1.1.8.2  yamt Power is provided via a standard 4-pin Molex connector (5v/Gnd/Gnd/12v).
     28  1.1.8.2  yamt 
     29  1.1.8.2  yamt The serial console is available on the back-panel "MISC" pins. Looking
     30  1.1.8.2  yamt at the back-panel, with the Molex power connector at the bottom left,
     31  1.1.8.2  yamt the MISC connector pin-out is:
     32  1.1.8.2  yamt 
     33  1.1.8.2  yamt              M I S C
     34  1.1.8.2  yamt         1  3  5  7  9  11
     35  1.1.8.2  yamt         .  .  .  .  .  .
     36  1.1.8.2  yamt                        
     37  1.1.8.2  yamt         .  .  .  .  .  .
     38  1.1.8.2  yamt         2  4  6  8  10 12
     39  1.1.8.2  yamt 
     40  1.1.8.2  yamt There should be a jumper between pins 11-12. The serial console is
     41  1.1.8.2  yamt available on pins 8, 9, and 10:
     42  1.1.8.2  yamt 
     43  1.1.8.2  yamt  8  - Gnd
     44  1.1.8.2  yamt  9  - Tx
     45  1.1.8.2  yamt  10 - Rx
     46  1.1.8.2  yamt 
     47  1.1.8.2  yamt No TTL-RS232 level conversion is needed. Serial parameters are 115200 8N1.
     48  1.1.8.2  yamt 
     49  1.1.8.2  yamt 
     50  1.1.8.2  yamt Getting NetBSD onto the CP3100 is a breeze. Simply break into Redboot by
     51  1.1.8.2  yamt sending ^C before it loads the Linux kernel. Run "fconfig" to set the
     52  1.1.8.2  yamt network parameters to suit your set up (and set "Run script" to "false"
     53  1.1.8.2  yamt while you're in there). Drop "netbsd.bin" onto your TFTP server, and
     54  1.1.8.2  yamt load it onto the CP3100 using "load -r -b 0x200000 netbsd.bin" followed
     55  1.1.8.2  yamt by "go".
     56  1.1.8.2  yamt 
     57  1.1.8.2  yamt The IQ80321 version of gzboot works fine with the CP3100, so you can use
     58  1.1.8.2  yamt Redboot to program a gzboot/kernel image into onboard Flash and have it
     59  1.1.8.2  yamt boot NetBSD on power-up.
