1.42 kettenis 41: The current target platforms are Allwinner A10/A20/A80/H3
42: (<tt>sunxi</tt>), Freescale i.MX6 (<tt>imx</tt>) and TI OMAP3/4
1.2 jasper 43: (<tt>am335x</tt>/<tt>beagle</tt>/<tt>panda</tt>). We try to support
1.42 kettenis 44: most of the boards based on those SoCs. A list of supported boards is
45: in the <a href="#hardware">supported hardware</a> section.

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

1.26 tj 59: A note on the platforms and the associated boards: OpenBSD/armv7
1.2 jasper 60: bundles various platforms sharing the ARM v7 architecture. Due to the
1.42 kettenis 61: fact that there are many System on a Chips (SoC) around, OpenBSD/armv7
62: differentiates between various SoCs and may have a different level of
63: support between them. All devices based on the i.MX6 are referred to
64: as <tt>imx</tt>, all devices based on A10/A20/A80/H3 are referred to
65: as <tt>sunxi</tt>. The boards with an OMAP 3/4 SoC are subdivided into
66: <tt>am335x</tt> (for BeagleBone), <tt>beagle</tt> (for BeagleBoard)
67: and <tt>panda</tt> (for PandaBoard).
