1.2 jasper 36: The current target platforms are Allwinner A1x/A20 (<tt>sunxi</tt>),
37: Freescale i.MX6 (<tt>imx</tt>) and TI OMAP3/4
38: (<tt>am335x</tt>/<tt>beagle</tt>/<tt>panda</tt>). We try to support
39: most of the boards based on those SoCs. A list of supported boards
40: is in the section <a href="#hardware">Supported hardware</a>.

42:
43: <p>
44: There are generally still a fair number of things to do on each of
1.8 jmc 45: these boards, however OpenBSD is generally considered to be usable on
1.2 jasper 46: them.
1.1 patrick 47: The platform is now self hosting, however there is no SMP support.
1.5 rapha 48: Networking is working on <tt>am335x</tt>, <tt>imx</tt>, <tt>panda</tt>
1.2 jasper 49: and <tt>sunxi</tt>.

57: <p>
58: A note on the platforms and the associated boards; OpenBSD/armv7
59: bundles various platforms sharing the ARM v7 architecture. Due to the
1.5 rapha 60: fact that there are many System on a Chips (SoC) around,
61: OpenBSD/armv7 differentiates between various SoCs and may have a
1.2 jasper 62: different level of support between them. All devices based on the
63: i.MX6 are refered to as <tt>imx</tt>, all devices based on A1x/A20 are
64: refered to as <tt>sunxi</tt>. The boards with an OMAP 3/4 SoC are
1.5 rapha 65: subdivided into <tt>am335x</tt> (for BeagleBone), <tt>beagle</tt> (for
1.2 jasper 66: BeagleBoard) and <tt>panda</tt> (for PandaBoard).
