About NetBSD/cats
NetBSD/cats is an port of NetBSD to the Chalice Technology
CATS motherboard and Intel
EBSA board.
Up until the release of NetBSD 1.6, this port was a part of NetBSD/arm32. With the release of 1.6, cats is now
maintained as a separate port, using the core arm functionality.

- 2002-09-13: New firmware for cats.
- Simtec have released new firmware for cats, I recommend that people
install it. It's been noted that it has fixed an issue relating to X on
for at least one person.
The new firmware can be found on Simtec's
website.
Specifically on their cats support
page.
I would strongly recommend that cats users upgrade to 1.3.
As the firmware allows for larger kernels, which means I'll be reenabling
some devices in the -current INSTALL kernel.
- 2002-08-04: X support for cats.
- NetBSD/cats now has in tree support for xfree86 4.2.0. Sets haven't
been built yet, but anyone wishing to try X needs to update to the latest
xsrc. Note that you need 1.6BETA or 1.6 -current as the server uses the
/dev/pci0 interface. Non-current users will need to add USE_XF86_4=YES to
/etc/mk.conf.
Note I'll be requesting pullups to 1.6, but they may not make it into
1.6.0.
Update 2002-08-19: Sets for 1.6 RC1 are now available from
ftp.NetBSD.org, in /pub/NetBSD/arch/cats/xsets The mirrors will probably
pick it up in the near future.
- 2001-07-29: Cats now has a mailing list.
- NetBSD/cats now has its own mailing list, port-cats. The list is for discussion
of both cats and EBSA boards and issues relating to them. Generic arm
issues should still goto the port-arm list. To subscribe use the links on
the side.
- 2001-06-10: Cats moves to its own arch dir.
- NetBSD/cats is now in its own arch dir,
sys/arch/cats
Kernels should be built from there. Note that GENERIC has grown as it now
contains all the currently supported USB devices.
Any cats specific bugs should be reported using the newly created
port-cats category in send-pr.
