[edit] General Description
The Broadcom BCM91480, also known under its codename Bigsur, is an evaluation board made by Broadcom for its SB-1A BCM1480 SOC. It features 4 1000baseT ethernet connections, 2 RS-232 ports and more and is fully supported by Linux.
[edit] Firmware
All Bigsur systems use Common Firmware Environment; by default it's configured big endian. The endianess is controlled by DIP switch 2, contact 3. More interesting information might be found in the Common Firmware Environment source.
[edit] CFE environment variables
These variables identify a Big Sur system in CFE:
| CPU_TYPE | 1480 |
| CPU_REVISION | B0 |
| CPU_NUM_CORES | 4 |
| CFE_BOARDNAME | BCM91480B |
[edit] Linux Support
The Bigsur is supported in Linux 2.6 with 32-bit and 64-bit kernels.
