This is a port of NetBSD to the FIC8234 VME processor board, made by the
|
|
|
|
|
swiss company CES (Geneve). These boards are (or have been) popular in
|
|
|
|
|
high energy physics data acquisition (think of CERN!). See
|
|
|
|
|
http://www.ces.ch/Products/CPUs/FIC8234/FIC8234.html
|
|
|
|
|
for some technical data.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The highlights:
|
|
|
|
|
- MC68040 processor at 25 MHz (optional dual-processor)
|
|
|
|
|
- 8 or 32 MByte RAM
|
|
|
|
|
- 2 serial ports on Z85c30
|
|
|
|
|
- 79c900 (ILACC) ethernet
|
|
|
|
|
- 53c710 SCSI
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The port is quite rudimentary at the moment. The kernel is started out of
|
|
|
|
|
a running OS-9 system. SCSI support is not present yet, so it only works
|
|
|
|
|
diskless with NFS (or ramdisk - not tested) root.
|
|
|
|
|
It is good enough for multiuser, self-hosting etc. however.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To start it:
|
|
|
|
|
- make OS image by "objcopy --output-target=binary netbsd <imagename>"
|
|
|
|
|
- load image to physical address 0x20100000 (RAM start + 1M)
|
|
|
|
|
- jump to 0x20100400
