tsutsui 378ad8db55 Sync MMU table initialization with amiga and atari a bit: - for 040/060, move L2 descs for Sysptmap from the last L2 block in segment table pages to the contiguous block with ones for segment table mappings - for 020/030, invalidate ste and pte entries separately since ste size (TIA_SIZE) and pte size (TIB_SIZE) could be different on 8KB/page systems Tested on hp300 (040), mac68k (LC040), and news68k (030) (and untested on others). XXX: some more stuff in pmap_bootstrap.c could be moved into XXX: common pmap_bootstrap_finalize()?		2009-12-06 02:42:34 +00:00

$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
