3 This is a port of NetBSD to the FIC8234 VME processor board, made by the
4 swiss company CES (Geneve). These boards are (or have been) popular in
5 high energy physics data acquisition (think of CERN!). See
6 http://www.ces.ch/Products/CPUs/FIC8234/FIC8234.html
7 for some technical data.
10 - MC68040 processor at 25 MHz (optional dual-processor)
12 - 2 serial ports on Z85c30
13 - 79c900 (ILACC) ethernet
16 The port is quite rudimentary at the moment. The kernel is started out of
17 a running OS-9 system. SCSI support is not present yet, so it only works
18 diskless with NFS (or ramdisk - not tested) root.
19 It is good enough for multiuser, self-hosting etc. however.
22 - make OS image by "objcopy --output-target=binary netbsd <imagename>"
23 - load image to physical address 0x20100000 (RAM start + 1M)
