22: OpenBSD/armv7 is a port of OpenBSD to various ARMv7 based systems.
23: </p>
24: <p>
25: A mailing list for ARM-based ports is available at
26: <u><font color="#23238e">arm@openbsd.org</font></u>.
27: To join the OpenBSD/arm mailing list, send a message body of

1.2 jasper 49: The current target platforms are Allwinner A1x/A20 (<tt>sunxi</tt>),
50: Freescale i.MX6 (<tt>imx</tt>) and TI OMAP3/4
51: (<tt>am335x</tt>/<tt>beagle</tt>/<tt>panda</tt>). We try to support
52: most of the boards based on those SoCs. A list of supported boards
53: is in the section <a href="#hardware">Supported hardware</a>.
54: </p>
55:
56: <p>
57: There are generally still a fair number of things to do on each of
58: these boards, however OpenBSD is generally considered to be usuable on
59: them.
1.1 patrick 60: The platform is now self hosting, however there is no SMP support.
1.2 jasper 61: Networking is working on <tt>am335xi</tt>,<tt>imx</tt>, <tt>panda</tt>
62: and <tt>sunxi</tt>.

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