OpenBSD/mvme88k is an effort to port OpenBSD to the systems built upon Motorola's 881x0-based VME motherboard family. -
The current port maintainer is Miodrag Vallat (miod@openbsd.org), with the help of Steve Murphree. Others are definitely welcome to contribute! -
Nivas Madhur started the initial mvme88k port for the MVME187 card, but --- 48,53 ---- *************** *** 59,72 **** have enough time to work on it. Steve Murphree, Jr. eventually completed the port to the MVME187 in November 1998. -
Unfortunately, at the same time, a compiler upgrade from gcc 2.8.1 to egcs revealed a lot of problems in the mvme88k support in gcc, which could not be fixed in time for mvme88k to be a supported OpenBSD 2.5 release. -
The lack of an in-tree toolchain did not prevent further work on the port, --- 56,67 ---- *************** *** 74,87 **** and on-board SCSI driver, greatly expanded VME bus support, working install process that correctly creates a Motorola VID block on the disks, and support for MVME188 as well as improving support for MVME197. -
During summer 2003, an effort to fix the toolchain eventually produced a working gcc 2.95 compiler, and allowed the port to be self-hosting again. With the help of Mark Kettenis, the toolchain effort eventually produced working binutils and gdb in late may 2004. -
Snapshots are made available from time to time, in --- 199,204 ---- *************** *** 219,225 **** OpenBSD/mvme88k snapshot installation instructions as well. -
A comprehensive reference about the m88k processor and the various designs built upon it is being gathered by Paul Weissmann at badabada. -
