1.1 bcallah 38: <p>
39: OpenBSD/octeon began in 2010 with an SDK created by
40: <a href="http://www.iij.ad.jp/en/index.html">IIJ</a> and donated to OpenBSD.
41: Early work targeted the Portwell CAM-0100.
42: <p>
43: Due to the lack of available hardware, the port lay dormant for a few years.
44: This changed in January 2013 with the release of the Ubiquiti Networks
45: EdgeRouter LITE. Several developers obtained these new machines, and work
1.8 bcallah 46: began immediately. Due to issues with USB support, the port to the Portwell
47: CAM-0100 matured first because it allowed CF cards to be used as a storage
48: medium.
1.1 bcallah 49: <p>
1.8 bcallah 50: Development has been rapid, with the port to the Portwell CAM-0100 becoming
1.12 pirofti 51: self-hosting in April 2013.
52: In August 2013 the DSR-500 model reached userland and could host OpenBSD
53: via NFS.
54: Support for EdgeRouter LITE Ethernet was added in
1.10 bcallah 55: September 2013, allowing the EdgeRouter LITE to be usable by NFS booting.

79: <p>
1.8 bcallah 80: Currently it is possible to install OpenBSD/octeon on the Portwell
1.12 pirofti 81: CAM-0100 machines, as they have a working storage driver.
82: The DSR-500 and EdgeRouter LITE may also be used by booting over NFS.
