<p>
OpenBSD/beagle is an experimental port of OpenBSD to the BeagleBoard systems
with a OMAP3530 and DM3730 chips using an ARM Cortex-A8 CPU.

<p>
A mailing list for ARM-based ports is available at
<u><font color="#23238e">arm@openbsd.org</font></u>.
To join the OpenBSD/arm mailing list, send a message body of

<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.

<a name="status"></a>
<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 heavy work in progress!
