68: <p>
69: OpenBSD/landisk is the 1st OpenBSD port to a
70: <a href="http://www.renesas.com">Hitachi/Renesas</a> SH-4 based machine.
71: It is hoped that other SH-4 based machines will show up which are
72: interesting enough for our user and development community, but the SH-4
73: processor is normally used only in true embedded products.

82: Currently there is a snapshot that can install the architecture
1.18 ! otto 83: (using a miniroot), and which is self-hosting. There
1.13 deraadt 84: are still many bugs to fix.

134: <strong>Serial cable connection</a></strong>
135: </font></h3>
136: All of these machines require a special serial cable which does
137: voltage conversion, and can hopefully be purchased along with the
138: card. This cable normally contains a little max232 or similar chip
1.5 deraadt 139: which converts from the 3.3V signals to +/-12V. The IO-DATA cable
140: has pins which can grip the inside of the holes. Or you can attempt
1.4 deraadt 141: to build your own using
142: <a href="http://www.mizore.jp/wiki/index.php?LANDISK%2Fserial-console">
143: some Japanese instructions</a>.
144: <p>
1.6 deraadt 145: The IO-DATA cable converts from a DB9 connector to a 5-pin header
146: (3.3V Tx Rx GND NC). Note that the Rx and Tx pins on the board are
147: <b>swapped</b> compared to the ARM-based machines made by IO-DATA.
148: All the board models have a 5-pin connector (called CN7) which the cable
149: can plug into -- except for the USL-5P which has a 4-pin header (thus
150: requiring removal of the spare pin).
1.4 deraadt 151: <p>
1.5 deraadt 152: A USL-5P is shown with a modified IO-DATA cable. In this case the cable
153: has been shortened significantly and the DB9 connector is glued into a slot
154: carefully cut into the plastic between the ethernet and a USB port.
