1.9 ! kettenis 43: The current target platforms are Firefly-RK3399, Pine64, Raspberry Pi
! 44: 3 and Opteron A1100.

48: The Pine64 currently requires an image based on a non-redistributable
1.9 ! kettenis 49: boot0 file from Allwinner to be installed on the system disk. This
! 50: will hopefully be resolved by a replacement in a future U-Boot
! 51: release. The install media does not include these boot images or a
! 52: Pine64 device tree. For similar reasons we do not provide install
! 53: media for the Firefly-RK3399 either.
1.6 jsg 54: </p>
55:
56: <p>
57: The Raspberry Pi 3 requires closed but redistributable files on the
58: system disk to load into the VC4 GPU which starts the ARM cores.
1.7 jsg 59: By default the boot ROM will only try to load these files off an SD card.
1.6 jsg 60: These files are present in the install media but there is no driver
61: for SD/MMC yet so a USB disk drive and manual steps are required.
1.7 jsg 62: To load the firmware off the SD card and have the root disk on USB
63: after installing OpenBSD reboot and interrupt U-Boot before the timeout
64: expires and instruct U-Boot to prefer USB over the SD card:
1.6 jsg 65: </p>
1.7 jsg 66:
67: <blockquote><pre>
68: Hit any key to stop autoboot: 0
69: U-Boot> setenv boot_targets usb0 mmc0 pxe dhcp
70: U-Boot> saveenv
71: U-Boot> boot
72: </pre></blockquote>
1.6 jsg 73:
74: <p>
75: Opteron A1100 machines on the other hand come with a UEFI firmware
76: that includes a device tree and can boot off SATA or USB devices without
77: board specific boot files on the system disk.

84: OpenBSD/arm64 bundles various platforms sharing the 64-bit ARM
85: architecture. Due to the fact that there are many System on a
86: Chips (SoC) around, OpenBSD/arm64 differentiates between various
87: SoCs and may have a different level of support between them.
