chs 1c2419d28a merge the 12 copies of vm_machdep.c on the m68k platforms. clean up some other stuff along the way, including: - use m68k/cacheops.*, remove duplicates from cpu.h. - centralize a few declarations in (all the copies of) cpu.h. - define M68K_VAC on platforms which have a VAC. - switch the sun platforms to the (now common) proc_trampoline(). - do the phys_map thang on the sun platforms too, no reason not to.		2002-10-20 02:37:21 +00:00

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
