tsutsui 485e133a8e Add dummy bus_dma(9) typedefs (enabled by __HAVE_NO_BUS_DMA) in <sys/bus.h> for ports which don't bother to have unnecessary bus_dma(9) implementation to appease MI driver modules that require bus_dma_tag_t. For amiga, move <m68k/bus_dma.h> inclusion from <machine/pci_machdep.h> to <machine/bus.h> since amiga will want actual bus_dma(9) in future for PCI devices. Fixes builds on sys/modules/if_axe etc on ancient ports. "Sounds good" from martin@ on port-m68k@.		2012-05-07 18:16:38 +00:00

README

$NetBSD: README,v 1.3 2005/12/11 12:17:04 christos Exp $

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
