# This board support package works with several different versions of
# MC68360 systems.  The choice of hardware is made at the final link-edit
# phase by setting the Makefile CLAGS_LD definition appropriately.
#
# Decisions made at compile time include:
#       - If the CPU is a member of the 68040 family, the BSP is
#         compiled for a generic 68040/68360 system as described
#         in Chapter 9 of the MC68360 User's Manual.
#       - If the preprocessor symbol M68360_ATLAS_HSB is defined,
#         the BSP is compiled for an Atlas HSB card.
#       - Otherwise, the BSP is compiled for a generic 68360 system
#         as described in Chapter 9 of the MC68360 User's Manual.
#
# Decisions to be made a link-edit time are:
#     - The size of the memory allocator heap.  The default value is
#       64 kbytes.  If the network package is used the heap
#       should be at least 256 kbytes.  If your network is large, or
#       busy, the heap should be even larger.
#       To choose a heap size of 256 kbytes,
#       CFLAGS_LD += -Wl,--defsym -Wl,HeapSize=0x40000

Porting
-------
This board support package is written for a 68360 system similar to that
described in chapter 9 of the Motorola MC68360 Quad Integrated Communication
Processor Users' Manual.  The salient features of this hardware are:

        25 MHz external clock
        DRAM address multiplexing provided by 68360
        8-bit 180nsec PROM to CS0*
        4 MBytes of 60 nsec parity DRAM (1Mx36) to RAS1*/CAS1*
        Console serial port on SMC1
        Ethernet interface on SCC1

The board support package has been tested with:
        A home-built 68360 board
        An ACE360A and an HSB board produced by:
                Atlas Computer Equipment
                703 Colina Lane
                Santa Barbara, CA 93103
        A 68040/68360 board (SBC360) produced by:
                Arnewsh Inc.
                P.O. Box 270352
                Fort Collins, CO 80527-0352
