1.1 bcallah 36: <p>
37: OpenBSD/octeon began in 2010 with an SDK created by
38: <a href="http://www.iij.ad.jp/en/index.html">IIJ</a> and donated to OpenBSD.
39: Early work targeted the Portwell CAM-0100.
40: <p>
41: Due to the lack of available hardware, the port lay dormant for a few years.
42: This changed in January 2013 with the release of the Ubiquiti Networks
43: EdgeRouter LITE. Several developers obtained these new machines, and work
1.8 bcallah 44: began immediately. Due to issues with USB support, the port to the Portwell
45: CAM-0100 matured first because it allowed CF cards to be used as a storage
46: medium.
1.1 bcallah 47: <p>
1.8 bcallah 48: Development has been rapid, with the port to the Portwell CAM-0100 becoming
1.12 pirofti 49: self-hosting in April 2013.
50: In August 2013 the DSR-500 model reached userland and could host OpenBSD
51: via NFS.
52: Support for EdgeRouter LITE Ethernet was added in
1.10 bcallah 53: September 2013, allowing the EdgeRouter LITE to be usable by NFS booting.
1.1 bcallah 54: <p>
1.24 jasper 55: In June 2015 USB support was added which finally allowed installing to
56: local disk on machines lacking a CF slot.
