                     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.
