History and Status:

The early history is not very clear. Apparently the first work was done by CMU as part of their Mach project. The initial hardware was the DEC R2000/R3000-based Decstations. This code was later used by *************** *** 15,45 **** reliable, or complete. Compiler toolkit problems have plagued the port because the standard a.out executable format is an imperfect match to the MIPS architecture. Per Fogelstrom became familiar with the code after porting it to a home-built IDT R3081 based board. Subsequently he added R4400 support when porting it to the MIPS R4400 Acer PICA board. Willowglen Singapore purchased a second PICA board for Theo de Raadt so that he could improve the port for use as a development system for an internal ! project. Since then Theo and Per have gotten ethernet and a few other small projects working.

The Acer PICA is a dead platform. Acer no longer makes the machine, but even worse the machines are very rare. The main reason to work on this port is because there are a multitude of other MIPS-based machines -- eventually this code will be useful on another machine.

The people working the most on OpenBSD/pica currently consists of ! Per Fogelstrom, and Theo de Raadt. Of course others are very welcome!
