1.28 ! jsg 41: The current target platforms are Allwinner A10 (<tt>sunxi</tt>),
1.2 jasper 42: Freescale i.MX6 (<tt>imx</tt>) and TI OMAP3/4
43: (<tt>am335x</tt>/<tt>beagle</tt>/<tt>panda</tt>). We try to support
44: most of the boards based on those SoCs. A list of supported boards
1.26 tj 45: is in the <a href="#hardware">supported hardware</a> section.

49: There are generally still a fair number of things to do on each of
1.8 jmc 50: these boards, however OpenBSD is generally considered to be usable on
1.2 jasper 51: them.
1.1 patrick 52: The platform is now self hosting, however there is no SMP support.
1.5 rapha 53: Networking is working on <tt>am335x</tt>, <tt>imx</tt>, <tt>panda</tt>

1.26 tj 60: A note on the platforms and the associated boards: OpenBSD/armv7
1.2 jasper 61: bundles various platforms sharing the ARM v7 architecture. Due to the
1.5 rapha 62: fact that there are many System on a Chips (SoC) around,
63: OpenBSD/armv7 differentiates between various SoCs and may have a
1.2 jasper 64: different level of support between them. All devices based on the
1.28 ! jsg 65: i.MX6 are referred to as <tt>imx</tt>, all devices based on A10 are
1.27 tb 66: referred to as <tt>sunxi</tt>. The boards with an OMAP 3/4 SoC are
1.5 rapha 67: subdivided into <tt>am335x</tt> (for BeagleBone), <tt>beagle</tt> (for
1.2 jasper 68: BeagleBoard) and <tt>panda</tt> (for PandaBoard).
