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
1.11 kettenis 25: (SoC) platform that use Das U-Boot or RouterBOOT as a boot loader. So
26: far this platform supports the <a href="http://www.thecus.com">Thecus</a>
27: N1200 and the <a href="http://www.microtik.com">MicroTik</a>
28: <a href="http://www.routerboard.com">RouterBOARD</a> RB600A.
29:
30: <p>
31: The Thecus N1200 is a one-disk NAS box based on an MPC8347 running at
1.7 kettenis 32: 266MHz. It has 128MB of memory, one 1000baseT Ethernet port, an
33: integrated 100baseTX Ethernet switch, two USB 2.0 ports and an eSATA
34: port as well as room for one SATA disk.
35:
36: <p>
1.11 kettenis 37: The RouterBOARD RB600A is based on an MPC8343 running at 266MHz or
1.7 kettenis 38: 400MHz. It has 128MB of memory, three 1000baseT Ethernet ports, two
1.12 jasper 39: CF slots and four mini-PCI slots. Support for the RB600A has been added
40: in OpenBSD 4.7.
1.1 kettenis 41:
42: <p>
43: OpenBSD/socppc is binary compatible with OpenBSD/macppc; all existing
44: OpenBSD/powerpc packages will run fine on OpenBSD/socppc.
45:
46: <p>
47: The current port maintainer is Mark Kettenis
48: (<a href="mailto:kettenis@openbsd.org">kettenis@openbsd.org</a>).
49: Others are definitely welcome to contribute!

68: <h3><font color="#0000e0"><strong>History</strong></font></h3>
69: <p>
70: OpenBSD/socppc is heavily based on OpenBSD/macppc. The e300 core
71: found on the MPC8349E is a derivative of the MPC603e processor used in
1.2 deraadt 72: early PowerPC-based Apple Macintosh systems, so most of the low-level
1.1 kettenis 73: code is identical.

76: <h3><font color="#0000e0"><strong>Current status</strong></font></h3>
77:
78: <p>
79: Hardware support is mostly complete and quite stable. USB 1 devices
80: are only supported behind a USB 2.0 hub, and support for the
81: integrated switch on the Thecus N1200 is still missing.
