31Notes about the NetBSD integration
32----------------------------------
33
34Preface and Acknowledgements: 
35
36A first try at integrating the M68060 Software Package was done by
37Yasushi Yamasaki of the NetBSD/x68k group, but only available as a
38patch file to their source tree (which wasn't integrated into the
39NetBSD master tree at that time).
40
41I started with their glue code version from the patch file, and
42changed the following things up to now:
43
44- collapse a few identical glue routines (fetch code/data words/longs
45from user space) into a multi-labeled one
46
47- make the gas syntax files of the glue code the Master files
48
49- I call the access error handler (label _buserr) directly, instead of
50through an RTE as in the example file
51
52Other changes are only in the method this was integrated into the
53Amiga vs. X68k port, which is machine dependend anyway.
54
55Thanks for the initial effort!

59I. File suffix convention
60
61I cvs imported all of the Motorola files (with lowercase names).
62
63These are:
64
65*.s:	Assembler files "unsupported by Motorola, provided as a reference only"
66*.sa:	Pseudo assembler hex dump files, which is Motorolas supported version.
67*.doc:	docs by Motorola
68
69errata, changes, files, readme: by Motorola.
70
71
72I choose .S as the file suffix which is feeded to our assembler
73directly or indirectly.
74
75We use:		To create: 
76
77isp.sa		isp.S
78fpsp.sa		fpsp.S
79
80In addition, inetbsd.S and fnetbsd.S are our part specific glue files,
81netbsd.S is our general glue file, and copyright.S ensures we have a
82copy of the copyright notice in the kernel if using the 060SP.
83
84To enforce the right relative positions of isp/its glue code inetbsd.S
85includes isp.S at the end, and fnetbsd.S includes fpsp.S.
86
87Ia: Don't Change Files
88
89- all Motorola doc files, all .sa (hex) files.
90
91Ib: Nearly Don't Change Files
92
93- for now, the .s files by Motorola. We might use the fpsp.s file
94later to create an optimized version, once we a) verified its
95identical to the supported .s and b) write a conversion (to .S format)
96script.

98II. Interface to the arch/$machine/$machine files:
