! OpenBSD/sgi is an effort to port OpenBSD to the MIPS-based Silicon Graphics ! workstations.

! This port is still in the beginning stages.

! Please contact Per Fogelström and ! Wilbern Cobb if you would like more ! information.

! OpenBSD/sgi currently runs on the 64 bit MIPS-based SGI O2 workstations. ! Other 64 bit SGI systems will be supported in the future.

+ OpenBSD/sgi is a fully featured 64 bit port and will thus only run on systems based on 64 bit processors, eg R4000 and up. +

History:

! The OpenBSD/sgi port has its roots in the OpenBSD/arc port created early ! in the OpenBSD history. Arc support was rather soon dropped due to lack of ! interest and availability of decent hardware. The OpenBSD Mips support have ! since then been supported outside the OpenBSD project. As SGI hardware have ! become affordable and easy to get by, interest for a SGI port in the tree ! have increased. The final piece, a working 64 bit toolchain, is now ! available and the 64 bit SGI OpenBSD port is now in the tree.

+ +

Current status:

! Currently OpenBSD/sgi runs in 64 bit mode and boot multi-user on supported ! systems. Snapshots are made periodically as the port develops and expands.

+ +

Projects (in no particular order): +

+ +

Support booting and installation from CD-ROM +
Workaround for R10000 CPUs coherency behaviour +
Wscons support for the O2 built in video +
Support the O2 built in audio +
X11 server support +
Larger user VM space. Currently limited to 2GB +
Support more SGI HW like Origin 200, Octance, etc +
Support for multiprocessor systems (not NUMA) +

+ +

Supported hardware:

+ +

Supported models

+ +

O2 (aka Moosehead) with R5000, RM5200, RM7000, R10000 and R12000 cpus. Level 2 caches are supported on all CPUs. RM7000 level 3 cache is supported. +
- Built in Adaptec AIC-7880 SCSI, ahc(4) +
- Built in ethernet, mec(4) +
- Built in serial ports, com(4) +
- 64 bit PCI expansion slot +
- Intel i8255x-based (except the i82556) PCI ethernet, fxp(4) +
+

+ +

Supported peripherals

+ +

+ While most models support expansion via PCI many PCI devices may work. + However each device has to be tested before they will be listed here as + supported so if support for a particular device is wanted, suitable hardware + must be made available to a developer who can test and verify functionality. +

+ + +

+ Please contact Per Fogelström + if you would like more information. +

+ +

+ Getting and installing OpenBSD/sgi: +

+ +

+ OpenBSD/sgi is not yet released in an official release. +

+ +

+ Snapshots are made available from time to time, in + this location + as well as in a few + mirrors. + Here are the + + OpenBSD/sgi snapshot installation instructions + as well. + +

+ Until a bootable CD is avaialble, netbooting is the only available + installation method. +
