+The ipEngine-1 is a Motorola MPC8xx-based small computer
+made by Bright Star Engineering (www.brightstareng.com)
+which also provides Linux and their own operating system for it.
+It is an interesting hardware platform to do network-oriented Inferno
+applications.
+
+The ipEngine is unusual in including an FPGA (Altera Flex 6016).
+See fpga(3) and fpgaload(8).
+We are also working on software to help program the thing.
+
+
+Booting the ipEngine
+
+0. serial cable (port 1, 9600 baud), ether, power etc.
+
+1. make appropriate entries for your site in flash
+ using the BSE monitor:
+
+ set netmask 255.255.255.0
+ set nameserver 200.1.1.11
+ set server 200.1.1.11
+ set serverip 200.1.1.11
+ set gateway 200.1.1.50
+ set hostname stella
+ set domain vitanuova.com
+ set myip 200.1.1.96
+
+2. add an entry to do the boot by tftp:
+
+ set bootcmd "load /usr/inferno/os/ipengine/iipe 3000; go 3020"
+
+ contrary to the BSE documentation this loads any
+ binary file at the given address. the -b option
+ doesn't seem to be needed.
+
+3. reset
+ it should load and start the kernel
