1.25 kettenis 38: The current target platforms are Allwinner A64/H5, Amlogic G12A/B,
39: AMD Opteron A1100, Ampere eMAG, Marvell ARMADA 7K/8K, Rockchip RK3328/RK3399,

1.12 kettenis 43: The install media includes firmware required to boot the Pine 64/64+
1.30 ! kettenis 44: and Raspberry Pi 3.
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>
1.30 ! kettenis 64: The Raspberry Pi 4 is only supported when using EDK2-base UEFI
! 65: firmware. By default the boot ROM will only try to load the firmware
! 66: off an SD card. As with the Raspberry Pi 3 there is no SD/MMC driver
! 67: yet, but there are no manual steps needed to boot from a USB disk
! 68: drive.
! 69:
! 70: <p>
1.25 kettenis 71: Ampere eMAG and AMD Opteron systems come with a UEFI firmware in ROM
72: and can boot off SATA or USB devices without board specific boot files
73: on the system disk.
1.12 kettenis 74:
1.6 jsg 75: <p>
1.25 kettenis 76: Most other machines load their firmware from the boot media and
77: require additional steps to create bootable install media. See the
