1.1 deraadt 43: <p>
44: OpenBSD/landisk is the 1st OpenBSD port to a
45: <a href="http://www.renesas.com">Hitachi/Renesas</a> SH-4 based machine.
46: It is hoped that other SH-4 based machines will show up which are
47: interesting enough for our user and development community, but the SH-4
48: processor is normally used only in true embedded products.
49:
1.44 miod 50: This processor architecture is the first 32-bit sucessor of a series
1.39 sthen 51: of extremely bizarre 8 and 16 bit processors by Hitachi. It has a
1.33 deraadt 52: very strange instruction set and MMU, and developers find it quite a
53: challenge to map their knowledge of Unix low-level ideas to the
54: processor architecture.

1.19 nick 100: <strong>Serial cable connection</strong>
1.4 deraadt 101: </font></h3>
102: All of these machines require a special serial cable which does
103: voltage conversion, and can hopefully be purchased along with the
104: card. This cable normally contains a little max232 or similar chip
1.5 deraadt 105: which converts from the 3.3V signals to +/-12V. The IO-DATA cable
106: has pins which can grip the inside of the holes. Or you can attempt
1.4 deraadt 107: to build your own using
108: <a href="http://www.mizore.jp/wiki/index.php?LANDISK%2Fserial-console">
109: some Japanese instructions</a>.
110: <p>
1.6 deraadt 111: The IO-DATA cable converts from a DB9 connector to a 5-pin header
112: (3.3V Tx Rx GND NC). Note that the Rx and Tx pins on the board are
113: <b>swapped</b> compared to the ARM-based machines made by IO-DATA.
114: All the board models have a 5-pin connector (called CN7) which the cable
115: can plug into -- except for the USL-5P which has a 4-pin header (thus
116: requiring removal of the spare pin).
1.4 deraadt 117: <p>
1.5 deraadt 118: A USL-5P is shown with a modified IO-DATA cable. In this case the cable
119: has been shortened significantly and the DB9 connector is glued into a slot
120: carefully cut into the plastic between the ethernet and a USB port.
