1.1 kettenis 22:
1.7 kettenis 23: OpenBSD/socppc runs on machines based on the <a
24: href="http://www.freescale.com">Freescale</a> MPC8349E System-on-Chip
25: (SoC) platform that use Das U-Boot as a boot loader. So far this
26: platform supports the <a href="http://www.thecus.com">Thecus</a>
27: N1200, which is a one-disk NAS box based on an MPC8347 running at
28: 266MHz. It has 128MB of memory, one 1000baseT Ethernet port, an
29: integrated 100baseTX Ethernet switch, two USB 2.0 ports and an eSATA
30: port as well as room for one SATA disk.

32: <p>
33: Support for the <a href="http://www.microtik.com">MicroTik</a> <a
34: href="http://www.routerboard.com">RouterBOARD</a> RB600A is under
35: development. This board is based on an MPC8343 running at 266MHz or
36: 400MHz. It has 128MB of memory, three 1000baseT Ethernet ports, two
37: CF slots and four mini-PCI slots. This hardware is supported in
1.8 jasper 38: 4.6-current kernels. Work on the bootloader and install scripts is
1.7 kettenis 39: still ongoing.
1.1 kettenis 40:
41: <p>
42: OpenBSD/socppc is binary compatible with OpenBSD/macppc; all existing
43: OpenBSD/powerpc packages will run fine on OpenBSD/socppc.
44:
45: <p>
46: The current port maintainer is Mark Kettenis
47: (<a href="mailto:kettenis@openbsd.org">kettenis@openbsd.org</a>).
48: Others are definitely welcome to contribute!

67: <h3><font color="#0000e0"><strong>History</strong></font></h3>
68: <p>
69: OpenBSD/socppc is heavily based on OpenBSD/macppc. The e300 core
70: found on the MPC8349E is a derivative of the MPC603e processor used in
1.2 deraadt 71: early PowerPC-based Apple Macintosh systems, so most of the low-level
1.1 kettenis 72: code is identical.

76:
77: <p>
78: Hardware support is mostly complete and quite stable. USB 1 devices
79: are only supported behind a USB 2.0 hub, and support for the
80: integrated switch on the Thecus N1200 is still missing.
