1.19 kettenis 38: The current target platforms are Allwinner A64/H5, AMD Opteron A1100,
39: Marvell ARMADA 7K/8K, Rockchip RK3328/RK3399, Broadcom BCM2837
40: (Raspberry Pi 3) and Socionext SCA11.
1.1 patrick 41:
1.6 jsg 42: <p>
1.12 kettenis 43: The install media includes firmware required to boot the Pine 64/64+
44: and Raspberry Pi.
1.6 jsg 45:
46: <p>
47: The Raspberry Pi 3 requires closed but redistributable files on the
1.12 kettenis 48: system disk to load into the VC4 GPU which starts the ARM cores. By
49: default the boot ROM will only try to load these files off an SD card.
1.6 jsg 50: These files are present in the install media but there is no driver
1.12 kettenis 51: for SD/MMC yet so a USB disk drive and manual steps are required. To
52: load the firmware off the SD card and have the root disk on USB after
53: installing OpenBSD reboot and interrupt U-Boot before the timeout
1.7 jsg 54: expires and instruct U-Boot to prefer USB over the SD card:

1.6 jsg 62:
63: <p>
64: Opteron A1100 machines on the other hand come with a UEFI firmware
65: that includes a device tree and can boot off SATA or USB devices without
66: board specific boot files on the system disk.
1.12 kettenis 67:
1.6 jsg 68: <p>
1.12 kettenis 69: All other machines that lack UEFI firmware require additional steps to
70: create bootable install media. See the
