19: OpenBSD/armv7 is a port of OpenBSD to various ARMv7 based systems.

22: A mailing list for ARM-based ports is available at
23: <u><font color="#23238e">arm@openbsd.org</font></u>.

1.2 jasper 45: The current target platforms are Allwinner A1x/A20 (<tt>sunxi</tt>),
46: Freescale i.MX6 (<tt>imx</tt>) and TI OMAP3/4
47: (<tt>am335x</tt>/<tt>beagle</tt>/<tt>panda</tt>). We try to support
48: most of the boards based on those SoCs. A list of supported boards
49: is in the section <a href="#hardware">Supported hardware</a>.

53: There are generally still a fair number of things to do on each of
1.8 jmc 54: these boards, however OpenBSD is generally considered to be usable on
1.2 jasper 55: them.
1.1 patrick 56: The platform is now self hosting, however there is no SMP support.
1.5 rapha 57: Networking is working on <tt>am335x</tt>, <tt>imx</tt>, <tt>panda</tt>

67: A note on the platforms and the associated boards; OpenBSD/armv7
68: bundles various platforms sharing the ARM v7 architecture. Due to the
1.5 rapha 69: fact that there are many System on a Chips (SoC) around,
70: OpenBSD/armv7 differentiates between various SoCs and may have a
1.2 jasper 71: different level of support between them. All devices based on the
72: i.MX6 are refered to as <tt>imx</tt>, all devices based on A1x/A20 are
73: refered to as <tt>sunxi</tt>. The boards with an OMAP 3/4 SoC are
1.5 rapha 74: subdivided into <tt>am335x</tt> (for BeagleBone), <tt>beagle</tt> (for
1.2 jasper 75: BeagleBoard) and <tt>panda</tt> (for PandaBoard).
