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,
1.30 kettenis 40: Broadcom BCM2837/BCM2711 (Raspberry Pi 3/4) 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+
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.
1.33 jsg 50: To load the firmware off the SD card and have the root disk on USB after
1.12 kettenis 51: installing OpenBSD reboot and interrupt U-Boot before the timeout
1.7 jsg 52: expires and instruct U-Boot to prefer USB over the SD card:

1.20 tj 54: <pre class="cmdbox">
1.7 jsg 55: Hit any key to stop autoboot: 0
56: U-Boot> setenv boot_targets usb0 mmc0 pxe dhcp
57: U-Boot> saveenv
58: U-Boot> boot
1.20 tj 59: </pre>
1.6 jsg 60:
61: <p>
1.32 tj 62: The Raspberry Pi 4 is only supported when using EDK2-based UEFI firmware.
63: By default the boot ROM will only try to load the firmware off an SD card.
1.33 jsg 64: There is no SD/MMC driver yet, but there are no manual steps needed to
65: boot from a USB disk drive.
1.30 kettenis 66:
67: <p>
1.25 kettenis 68: Ampere eMAG and AMD Opteron systems come with a UEFI firmware in ROM
69: and can boot off SATA or USB devices without board specific boot files
70: on the system disk.
1.12 kettenis 71:
1.6 jsg 72: <p>
1.25 kettenis 73: Most other machines load their firmware from the boot media and
74: require additional steps to create bootable install media. See the
