I bought "BYTE magazine September 1987"; there is a sweet article about 68k & unix.

Today MOTOROLA semiconductor group is sold to Freescale. The so called "company evolution" .... Happened at the end of 2004. When Motorola was running the semiconductors desk, i was provided this IDP board as "68k learner". Since 1999 i have been looking around for the board that i'd like to develop in my lowest priority free time. She eats 2.5A, so at 5V that means 13Watt .... this because she has a lot of fun and troubles

On the board there are the following devices:
 
* MC68EC000 CPU module 12.5Mhz MC68060 CPU module 25Mhz
 
* MC68681 (dual uart)
 
* MC68230 (PIT port and timer)
 
* DS7 (display 7 segment)
 
* M48 (RTC)
 
* 2/8MByte DRAM
 
 
i'm working around this devices
 
* HD44780 (display 2x20 alphanumeric)
 
* T6969 (display graphics)
 
* I2C bus adapter PSX pad adapter
 
* IDE-HD adapter new desin keyboard (developped around apple-newton-kb and dreamcast-jappanese-kb)
 
 
on the board i'm running
 
 
 
* ucos/2 (it does not require a MMU, the 68EC000 has not, the 68060 has MMU and FPU)
 
* netbsd unfortunatly 2MB of RAM and 1MB of ROM will be too small for NetBSD.
 
 
the board was made in 1992, and in 2002 costs $950, with a student reduce price i payed half the half: $250 ($90 surface shipping included) .
 
 
Unfortunately it is equipped with 2Mbyte of DRAM that can be expanded to 8Mbyte with this obsolete DRAM-array 1Mx32 (4Mbytes) for a total of 8Mbyte on board - MCM54400AZ70 - MCM524256AZ70 package 100 MIL ZIP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ONLY ZIP PACKAGE !!!!!!!!!!! as electronic eng. i'm planning to plug a CPLD to the bus to interface an harddisk, a pair of nvram and a graphic display (i hope in the future ISA bus to plug an ISA-ethernet board) the main goal is to run a UNIX OS to provide the board with the multitasking capability. In the future i will plug one/two DSP and i will use the baord to process RADIO GPS signal (NO GPS JAMMING). The goal is to get started with hardware and firmware ! if you wander why not FPGA i can answare that FPGA is to expensive about computer-development tools power and today is provided as COTZ solution by XILINX. So there is nothing to learn about the hardware, just to pay, to unpack, to read the doc, to buy a pair of XEON pc to run XILINX software, and to enjoy ! Dear Mr. Mayer: The ballpark price for the custom package converter that would convert Motorola MCM54400 in 26 SOJ package to Motorola MCM54400 in 20 pin ZIP package is $43.00 each @ qty 1-10. The ballpark NRE is $4,345.00 for the lead time of 20 business days. The part will be similar in design to PC-SOJ/ZIP24-01. Let me know if you have any questions or would like to receive a formal quote.

our motorola 68xxx dev board has a synch.bus.It can be handled only by a Finite State Machine (FSM) so we first look for a low cost CPLD/FPGA solution. too expensive, too much complicate. So now the project is based on a RAM-tiny-FSM: 4 input, 4 output, 16 states. The RAM is loaded with the bytestream at the boottime by a PIC that copy an I2C_EEPROM into the RAM. The project consists on the compiler (that make the bytestream image to be loaded to the eeprom, from a simil-C source) and the little board. I estimated that this TINY-FSM is able to work with a clock up to 25Mhz using old PC cache (15 ns) If you are interested we can collaborate about this project, about the hardware and about the software developping. Hello Adrian, It is nice to hear from you. I am glad that the 680x0 books I sent you are useful in your project. > i'm planning to develop a ROM/RAM tiny file-system What type of file system is this? Is it based on an existing file system such as MS-DOS, or something completely new? I have an interest in file systems, that is why I ask. FYI, the UCSD Pascal system has a very simple file system that support a fixed number of files (77). The file system is just a very simple array of file entries. Each file entry has a fixed width format similar to: file name (length byte + name characters) file type file creation date file modification date starting block ending block > the shell is ready as beta. > Would you like to try it under windows ? if so it will recompiled for > 80386 as a normal dos program. I would like to try this. Please compile for windows and let me know how to get it.

Does the 68040 CPU chip work? Greetings, I haven't heard anything. I gave them your email address so you might get some mail directly. Also, I posted a request for the info on comp.sys.m68k Take a look: http://groups.google.com/groups?dq=&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&group=comp.sys.m68k&selm=4163811b.0402201732.5b0d397%40posting.google.com So check this web page from time to time to see if someone replies.

Motorola is a very big company and the semiconductor division was just a small part. In fact, in the beginning it was set up to supply parts to the rest of the company. But it turned out that they sold most of their parts to other companies, and they made Motorola a lot of money for many years. But in the last several years the semiconductor division has been loosing money, so motorola decided to spin it off as a separate company. Now the must make money or go out of business! -mark- wrote: > hi, > do you remember me ? > i'm the boy you sold the "68060 die photos" > today i was shocked: "motorola semiconductors" has > been changed into "Freescale" > and all customers support of old "motorola digital > DNA" has automatically closed. what do you think is happening ? > is motorola in a big money jam ? > i contact the old "motorola digital DNA" to have informations about > "mc68150 dynamic bus sizer chip" freescale answared me ..... > (that it has no data-sheet) > what do you think ? > best regards I need precisely the functionality you are describing to test programs written for the ColdFire 5407 without the actual hardware. The code would only be used to create a tool for my use in testing and debugging my embedded code. My current project is an embedded system for testing proprietary electronic devices. Having an emulator would be invaluable during development and testing. If you could share your code with me I would certainly be willing to forward any support I add for the ColdFire back to you, if you like. If you can't share the actual code, I understand--I just had to ask--this sounds like it would be so helpful. Thanks, Chris -----Original Message----- Sent: Wednesday, September 03, 2003 3:00 PM Subject: Re: reverse assembler >Does your C program actually emulate the 68K? Yes, not the whole iset, i have to code it, i have no much time. However the demo i show to my teacher is able to run a "hello world" program that prints to a real HD44780 by re-defining trap 15 to a virtual device (that on the real board is a MC68230) that handles LPT where the display is attached. I planned to emulate 68000, 68020, 68030, 68040, 68060. I don't know how to handle MMU, now. however i'm working around 68000 and i have to test the ALU condition code register: there are no good tests in motorola books, i don't understand some dettails like MUL-U MUL-S condition code affections. >it sounds as if that is what you have--more than a mere disassembler. this because we code a lot of software, and because we did it aim for a lot of goal. The shell, the tini-filesystem and the "reverse-assembler" i don't like "disassembler" term because i mere de-asm is a program that jumps back your binary. My reverse-assembler emulate a binary into a virtual machine showing register contents step by step. I mean that i can obtain a file where you can easily track the register- values during the running. In this case the goal is the need: we have to code and test programs but we have to test them on a real 68000 board, the school's one, and unfortunatly we can't access to it when we want ... we have no much time and we have no money to buy a personal board. So we code an emulator to have the board in our portable PC. The real board is hard to be de-bugged ... because we can't track the memory or stop the CPU to analyze ... we code the emulator to allow this. >In your first post you asked if anyone was intrerested--if this is the case, >I am very interested--I need something like this to help me through my >>current project! what is your project about ??? how can my project help you ? which CPU should it be for ? >Would you consider sharing that code with me? it may be, i have to ask my teacher and my team. I remember you we are using ANSI crude C (borland Turbo C 3.0 for DOS) however the shell is portable to UNIX and we ported it using Gcc and HP-C89. what we really need now is a good 68K compiler. We hack Sierra C 68K, it works well but it is only for 68000, and it need windows. we will try to make a gcc-68K cross compiler for our HP-712 HPUX 11.00 best regards
