in preparation for future mvmeppc and mvme88k ports.
This needs a bit if tidying up to make it trully shareable, which will
happen as the new mvme ports are added.
Any problems reported by testers have been fixed, and massive
cross-compiling of kernels has shown that any problems that remain
with actually building kernels are not related to this.
not support a value (e.g., it's to be used as "options FOO" instead of
"options FOO=xxx"). options that take a value were converted to
defparam recently.
- minor whitespace & formatting cleanups
the etc Makefile override that by putting USETOOLS into $.MAKEOVERRIDES
This way the default for kernel compiles is still to use the installed
toolchain instead of depending on $TOOLDIR. $TOOLDIR can be used by
simply adding USETOOLS=yes to the command line as usual.
Adjust each ports template to set the default no setting and also pull in
bsd.own.mk if they weren't already to ensure they'll build correctly
with the new toolchain setup.
and attach it as `timekeeper0 at mainbus0'.
Use the MI mk48txx nvram/rtc access functions instead of home-grown
versions.
It should now be very easy to add a character device for the benefit
of userland access to NVRAM.
and with the comment '4.2BSD TCP/IP bug compat. Not recommended'
Add commented out 'TCP_DEBUG # Record last TCP_NDEBUG packets with SO_DEBUG'
(All hail amiga and atari which make some attempt to automate the
multiplicity of config files...)
hardware-assisted soft interrupts on all boards.
(Note: VMEChip2-less 162/172 not yet tested)
This greatly simplifies the `rei' path and allows
interrupt nesting to be tracked somewhat more easily.
As a result we now have a working CLKF_INTR() macro
and can detect uvm_fault() being called from an interrupt
(although there may still be a very short race detecting
the latter; need to investigate further).
CPU support taken from a combination of NetBSD/amiga and NetBSD/x68k.
At this time, MVME-172 works but MVME-177 is untested. Since the '177
is otherwise identical to the MVME-167, this should *just work*.
Currently, the major onboard devices are supported (disk, network,
rs232 and VMEbus). However, work is still need to support the remaining
devices (eg. IndustryPack sites).
These boards are available with a dazzling array of build options. At
this time, the following options are *required*:
o Real floating point hardware (the 68LC040 model isn't tested),
o The VMEchip2 must be present,
o If offboard VMEbus RAM is not present, at least 8MB of onboard
RAM is required.
o Even if offboard VMEbus RAM *is* present, at least 4MB of onboard
RAM is required. (Boards with 1 or 2MB onboard RAM *can* be
supported with offboard RAM, but not without some funky values in
the VMEbus Master mapping registers.)
There is no support for boards other than those in the -LX 200/300 series.
