Installation

A disk set is available from http://www.retro11.de/data/oc_w11/oskits/u5ed_rkset.tgz

Download, unpack and copy the disk images (*.dsk), e.g.

       cd $RETROBASE/tools/oskit/u5ed_rk
       u5ed_rk_setup

Usage

• Start backend server and boot system (see section Rlink in w11a_os_guide)

       boot script:  uv5_rk_boot.tcl
       example:      ti_w11 <opt> @u5ed_rk_boot.tcl
                     where <opt> is the proper option set for the board.
  

  or use for verification the SimH simulator (see section SimH in w11a_os_guide)

  pdp11 u5ed_rk_boot.scmd
  

• Hit <ENTER> in the xterm window to connect to backend server. The boot dialog in the console xterm window will look like (required input is in {..}, with {<CR>} denoting a carriage return:

       @{unix}
  
       login: {root}
  

  Now you are at the shell prompt and can exercise the system, e.g.

       # {ls -al}
       total 62
       drwxr-xr-x  9 bin       160 Jan 29 16:14 .
       drwxr-xr-x  9 bin       160 Jan 29 16:14 ..
       drwxr-xr-x  2 bin       944 Nov 26 18:13 bin
       drwxr-xr-x  2 bin        80 Nov 26 18:13 dev
       drwxr-xr-x  2 bin       240 Mar 21 12:07 etc
       drwxr-xr-x  2 bin       224 Nov 26 18:13 lib
       drwxr-xr-x  2 bin        32 Nov 26 18:13 mnt
       drwxrwxrwx  2 bin        32 Nov 26 18:13 tmp
       -rwxrwxrwx  1 bin     25802 Mar 21 12:07 unix
       drwxr-xr-x 14 bin       224 Nov 26 18:13 usr
  

  There is no halt or shutdown command, just terminate the server session with a

       .qq
  

  command. The disks aren't cached, so no need to sync either.
