! 42: R16/R40, V40 (<tt>sunxi</tt>), Freescale i.MX6/7 (<tt>imx</tt>) and TI
! 43: OMAP3/4 (<tt>am335x</tt>/<tt>beagle</tt>/<tt>panda</tt>). We try to
! 44: support most of the boards based on those SoCs. A list of supported
! 45: boards is 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
1.44 ! kettenis 63: support between them. All devices based on the Freescale i.MX6 and
! 64: i.MX7 are referred to as <tt>imx</tt>, all devices based on Allwinner
! 65: SoCs are referred to as <tt>sunxi</tt>. The boards with an TI OMAP 3/4
! 66: SoC are subdivided into <tt>am335x</tt> (for BeagleBone),
! 67: <tt>beagle</tt> (for BeagleBoard) and <tt>panda</tt> (for PandaBoard).
