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