<h3><font color="#0000e0"><strong>History</strong></font></h3>

<p>

In May 2009 Dale Rahn imported code to the OpenBSD tree

which added initial support to the omap35xx platform. The initial target for

this platform was the original BeagleBoard system.

<h3><font color="#0000e0"><strong>Current status</strong></font></h3>

<p>

The current target boards are the original BeagleBoard and newer xM models,

but support for both is a heavy work in progress!

as well as Pandaboard, Pandaboard ES, Beaglebone, and Beaglebone Black. There

are still a fair number of things to do on each of these boards. The platform is now

self hosting, however there is no smp support. Networking is working on the Pandaboard's

and the Beaglebone's. Listed below are several items that

are still open.

<ul>

<li>Add support for the battery-backed RTC.

<li>Add proper boot support.

<li>Add SMP for Pandaboard, and Pandaboard ES.

<li>Add support for the SD/MMC controller.

<li>Add support for beaglebone black local storage.

<li>EABI.

</ul>
