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

1.2 jasper 48: The current target platforms are Allwinner A1x/A20 (<tt>sunxi</tt>),
49: Freescale i.MX6 (<tt>imx</tt>) and TI OMAP3/4
50: (<tt>am335x</tt>/<tt>beagle</tt>/<tt>panda</tt>). We try to support
51: most of the boards based on those SoCs. A list of supported boards
52: is in the section <a href="#hardware">Supported hardware</a>.
53: </p>
54:
55: <p>
56: There are generally still a fair number of things to do on each of
57: these boards, however OpenBSD is generally considered to be usuable on
58: them.
1.1 patrick 59: The platform is now self hosting, however there is no SMP support.
1.5 rapha 60: Networking is working on <tt>am335x</tt>, <tt>imx</tt>, <tt>panda</tt>
1.2 jasper 61: and <tt>sunxi</tt>.

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