Hi All,
I am currently planning to attach the XBus to NetBSD, so
that it may be accessed with open() close() read() write()
and ioctl(). The reason for this is that our custom
EBSA285-like board contains an x-bus with some significant
devices on it, so we will need to write device drivers for
them.
I have no clue as to how the xbus attaches to the system.
Would it be declared:
xbus0 at footbridge?
This would mean that it would be set up using the same
directory structure and conventions as the PCI bus? Anyone
with any experience here, or interests in help ing with the
development, please contact me.
Thanks
Bruce Martin
