Following after my minimal 16bit 68010 computer design (https://github.com/jtsiomb/m68kcomputer) this is an attempt to make a much more advanced 32bit computer, based on the Motorola 68030 CPU.
The main objective of this project is to make a stand-alone computer, capable of running a custom UNIX system with virtual memory. The 68030 processor was chosen because it has an on-chip MMU.
The plan is to include the following on the main board:
- Analog video output
- PS/2 keyboard controller
- ATA hard drive interface for fixed storage
- SD card for removable storage
- 68881 floating point co-processor
- Dual RS232 serial port
- Battery-backed RTC
Directory structure:
hw- hardware: kicad files and pdf schematics.
- Schematic: almost completed, minor tweaks, video left for an expansion
- PCB layout: not started
- Firmware: not started
- Boot ROM monitor: not started
- Operating system: not started
- Schematic
- PCB layout
- OS support
