Recent additions to NetBSD/sgimips


May 11, 2001 posted by Blog Import

Rafal K. Boni has added a lot of new support to NetBSD/sgimips that has been committed to NetBSD-current. Most notably is new support for the IP22 (Indigo2, Indy, Challenge S). A list of all the major new additions is as follows:

  • Support for the IP22 (Indigo2, Indy, Challenge S)
  • Support for the HPC I/O peripheral ASIC. There is where SCSI, Ethernet, etc. live on the Indigo2 and Indy
  • Support for the Seeq 8003 Ethernet attached to the HPC ASIC, found on the Indigo2 and Indy
  • Support for the Dallas 1286 clock found on the Indigo2 and Indy
  • IOC1/2 memory map
  • Support for the Indigo2/Indy IMC (this is that to which all other devices are attached)
  • Support for the SCC serial ports on Indigo2 and Indy
  • Support for configuring an SCC console
  • Generic software interrupt implementation, derived from NetBSD/mipsco
  • Basic EISA support for the Indigo2
  • Dynamic system configuration support, derived from NetBSD/pmax

An example kernel configuration file for Rafal's Indigo2 can be found in sys/arch/sgimips/conf/TEAL. [0 comments]
