! 41: <p>
! 42: OpenBSD/octeon began in 2010 with an SDK created by
! 43: <a href="http://www.iij.ad.jp/en/index.html">IIJ</a> and donated to OpenBSD.
! 44: Early work targeted the Portwell CAM-0100.
! 45: <p>
! 46: Due to the lack of available hardware, the port lay dormant for a few years.
! 47: This changed in January 2013 with the release of the Ubiquiti Networks
! 48: EdgeRouter LITE. Several developers obtained these new machines, and work
! 49: began immediately.
! 50: <p>
! 51: Kernel work is progressing nicely.
! 52: <p>
! 53: And work continues...

! 75: There is no userland yet.
