1.38 mickey 62: open source operating systems for HP PA-RISC computers were
1.66 jufi 63: <a href="http://www.cs.utah.edu/projects/flux/lites/html">Lites</a> and
1.68 jufi 64: <a href="http://www.mklinux.org">MkLinux</a>.
1.38 mickey 65: These two sources were a major supply of information and
66: code for initial development of the OpenBSD/hppa port.
1.67 deraadt 67: <a href="http://www.cs.utah.edu/~mike/hpbsd/hpbsd.html">HPBSD</a>
1.38 mickey 68: is encumbered by HP proprietary code and USL licensing and is
69: not publicly available.
70: One of the major direct benefits from previous porting efforts
1.74 miod 71: (besides the code, of course) was support for HP PA-RISC in GCC and
72: binutils, which allowed quick building of a cross-tools environment
73: for development.
74: </p>
75:
1.38 mickey 76: <p>
1.74 miod 77: Later on, Hewlett-Packard decided to sponsor a
78: <a href="http://www.parisc-linux.org/">Linux</a> port to the PA-RISC
79: family, which actually resulted in some proprietary documentation
80: being released, even though their target was a different class of 9000
81: machines back then.
