It addresses a problem that nearly everyone - who has deployed a PC-class server has experienced: the total lack of remote - management capability on PC-class hardware.</p> -<p class="Pp">In addition to serial console support, the PC-Weasel provides the - ability to remotely reset the system (by means of a hardware reset signal), - and provides a watchdog timer function.</p> -<p class="Pp">The PC-Weasel works by emulating the original IBM Monochrome - Display Adapter (MDA). Writes to the display's character cells are - translated into ANSI terminal sequences which are then sent out the - PC-Weasel's serial port. Incoming characters are translated into PC keyboard - scan codes and then fed (by means of a cable) into the system's keyboard - controller. The system believes it is using a display console. This is - particularly important in the event that one needs access to BIOS - configuration menus.</p> -<p class="Pp" id="com0">The PC-Weasel also includes a ST16550 serial port, which - may be configured as any one of the system's serial ports. Typical usage is - to configure the port as - <a class="permalink" href="#com0"><i class="Em">com0</i></a> at ISA I/O - address 0x3f8. When the PC-Weasel detects activity on the ST16550, the - serial port is automatically connected to the ST16550 so that the serial - port may be used as normal. When the PC-Weasel detects activity on the - internal UART used for MDA emulation, the serial port is automatically - reconnected to the emulation UART. This allows the boot program and kernel - to be configured to use the serial port directly (which is more efficient - than using the MDA emulation mode), yet allows the MDA emulation to be - reestablished as soon as the kernel loses control of the system.</p> -<p class="Pp">The <code class="Nm">pcweasel</code> driver provides support for - the additional features present on the PC-Weasel. At the moment, this - includes support for the watchdog timer function. Use of the - <code class="Nm">pcweasel</code> driver is not required in order for the - system to function with a PC-Weasel installed so long as only the MDA - emulation and ST16550 serial port functionality is required.</p> -</section> -<section class="Sh"> -<h1 class="Sh" id="SEE_ALSO"><a class="permalink" href="#SEE_ALSO">SEE - ALSO</a></h1> -<p class="Pp"><a class="Xr">pcdisplay(4)</a>, <a class="Xr">wdogctl(8)</a></p> -</section> -<section class="Sh"> -<h1 class="Sh" id="HISTORY"><a class="permalink" href="#HISTORY">HISTORY</a></h1> -<p class="Pp">The <code class="Nm">pcweasel</code> driver first appeared in - <span class="Ux">NetBSD 1.5.1</span>.</p> -</section> -<section class="Sh"> -<h1 class="Sh" id="AUTHORS"><a class="permalink" href="#AUTHORS">AUTHORS</a></h1> -<p class="Pp">The PC-Weasel was invented by Herb Peyerl and Jonathan Levine at - Canada Connect Corporation.</p> -<p class="Pp">The <code class="Nm">pcweasel</code> driver was written by - <span class="An">Jason R.
