1$NetBSD: README,v 1.1 2001/05/14 18:22:58 drochner Exp $ 2 3This is a port of NetBSD to the FIC8234 VME processor board, made by the 4swiss company CES (Geneve). These boards are (or have been) popular in 5high energy physics data acquisition (think of CERN!). See 6http://www.ces.ch/Products/CPUs/FIC8234/FIC8234.html 7for some technical data. 8 9The highlights: 10- MC68040 processor at 25 MHz (optional dual-processor) 11- 8 or 32 MByte RAM 12- 2 serial ports on Z85c30 13- 79c900 (ILACC) ethernet 14- 53c710 SCSI 15 16The port is quite rudimentary at the moment. The kernel is started out of 17a running OS-9 system. SCSI support is not present yet, so it only works 18diskless with NFS (or ramdisk - not tested) root. 19It is good enough for multiuser, self-hosting etc. however. 20 21To start it: 22- make OS image by "objcopy --output-target=binary netbsd <imagename>" 23- load image to physical address 0x20100000 (RAM start + 1M) 24- jump to 0x20100400 25 26For questions and contributions, contact Matthias Drochner 27(drochner@netbsd.org). 28
