PMON/2000 Host Types


Host Types:

The PMON/2000 prom monitor is currently supported by the following host platforms for downloading and debugging.

Any Unix system equipped with GNU 'C' Compiler that can generate 32-Bit ELF PowerPC bianries. (Generally, GNU gcc 2.8.1 or 2.9.5+ ).

A properly configured NT4 system with GNU Cross compiler suite, also equipped to generate 32-Bit ELF PowerPC bianries.

Targets:

Any SBS Technologies PowerPC Single Board Computer, like:

CompactPCI SBC with one (1) PMC Slot, Local 10/100BaseT ETHERNET, two (2) serial ports and local IDT ATM SAR (25 Mbs copper) through J5. Hot Swap design.
K2 porting underway as of May 20, 2000 (Sweden)  
Palomar-II/IV
(with SCSI on baseboard)
PowerPC 750
64 to 256 MB SDRAM on Processing PMC Module. Equipped with 2.5 to 8.5 MB FlashROM, IBM CPC700 PCI Bridge
- fully supported by PMON/2000
Processor PMC Module with two (2) serial ports, JTAG, I2C and fast PCIbridge. Supports standard PMC PCIbus devices on a baseboard.

........ and other similarly configured platforms running OpenBSD or Linux for PowerPC and equipped with the above GNU compiler toolset.

Minimal requirements are an RS-232 Console port connection to a terminal, or terminal emulation program (on the host) for interaction with PMON/2000 on a Target board. Download of code can be done via the RS-232 serial connection, but is far more efficient if you utilize the ETHERNET port. Most SBS Technologies SBC's and most of the Palomar 'baseboard' configurations support some form of ETHERNET port. PMON/2000 allows direct bootloading and execution of 32-Bit ELF binaries using these download methods.
