Overview</a></h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>This document tries to provide a starting point for
|
|
those who want to run FreeBSD on an UltraSPARC-based
|
|
machine. It is aimed at providing background information
|
|
on the various hardware designs. It is not a replacement
|
|
for the systems manuals.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The information is structured as follows:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>General hardware requirements to run FreeBSD on
|
|
sparc64.</p>
|

</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>System specific information for each of the
|
|
systems/boards supported by FreeBSD.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>Information on expansion boards for FreeBSD,
|
|
including things that differ from what is in the
|
|
generic supported hardware list.</p>

|
<p>FreeBSD/sparc64 requires an UltraSPARC system.
|
|
Currently, the newer PCI-based systems are supported
|
|
better than the older SBus based systems. The following
|
|
systems are known to work to varying degrees:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>Sun Ultra 1 workstations</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>Sun Ultra 2 workstations</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>Sun Ultra 5 workstations</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>Sun Ultra 10 workstations</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>Sun Ultra 30 workstations</p>

</li>
|

</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>Ultra 80 and Blade 1000 are expected to work, maybe
|
|
with minor modifications. SMP is supported on Ultra 2 and
|
|
60 workstations and Enterprise 220R, 250 and 420R
|
|
servers.</p>

Supported Hardware Overview</a></h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>A word of caution: the installed base for
|
|
FreeBSD/sparc64 is not nearly as large as for
|
|
FreeBSD/Intel. This means that the enormous variation of
|
|
PCI/ISA expansion cards out there has much less chance of
|
|
having been tested on sparc64 than on Intel. This is not
|
|
to imply they are doomed to fail, just that the chance of
|
|
running into something never tested before is much
|
|
higher. <tt class="FILENAME">GENERIC</tt> contains things
|
|
that are known to work on sparc64 only.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The PCI bus is fully supported. SBus support is
|
|
limited, but is reported to work well enough to netboot
|
|
an SBus-based Ultra 2 workstation.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>1.44 Mbyte floppy drives are <span class="emphasis"><i
|
|
class="EMPHASIS">not</i></span> yet supported.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>ATA and ATAPI (IDE) devices are supported via the <a
|
|
href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=ata&sektion=4&manpath=FreeBSD+5.0-RELEASE">
|
|
<span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span
|

|
|
framework. <span class="emphasis"><i
|
|
class="EMPHASIS">(not yet committed - in Perforce
|
|
tree)</i></span></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>There is full SCSI support via the CAM layer. However,
|
|
only NCR/Symbios cards are currently working. Adaptec
|
|
2940x (AIC 7xxx chip-based) and <a
|
|

|
|
<span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span
|
|
class="REFENTRYTITLE">isp</span>(4)</span></a> cards
|
|
should be supported soon. Be aware that SCSI cards must
|
|
contain Sun FCODE in order to use them as a boot device
|
|
from OpenBoot.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you want to boot your sparc64 over the Ethernet you
|
|
will obviously need an Ethernet card that the OpenBoot
|
|
console recognizes.</p>

|

|
|
<p>The ``PC standard'' serial ports found on most newer
|
|
Sun workstations are supported.</p>

|
<p>In general, any device for which there is a driver can
|
|
be made to work on sparc64. Some drivers might just work,
|
|
others might require some changes (because this is the
|
|
first big-endian architecture to be supported by
|
|
FreeBSD).</p>
|
|
|

<p>The following drivers are known to work:</p>

<p>The EBus is specific to Sun hardware, so drivers need

to have support added to work with these devices. It is

quite similar to ISA, so that ISA drivers can usually be

easily ported, provided that they use the bus space

interface, and not in[bwl]/out[bwl] and related

functions. DMA is not yet supported.</p>
