23: OpenBSD/socppc runs on machines based on the
24: <a href="http://www.freescale.com">Freescale</a> MPC8349E
25: System-on-Chip (SoC) platform that use Das U-Boot as a boot loader.
26: So far this platform only supports the
27: <a href="http://www.thecus.com">Thecus</a> N1200, which is a one-disk
28: NAS box based on an MPC8347 running at 266MHz. It has 128MB of
29: memory, one 1000baseT Ethernet port, an integrated 100basTX Ethernet
30: switch, two USB 2.0 ports and an eSATA port as well as room for one
31: SATA disk.
32:
33: <p>
34: OpenBSD/socppc is binary compatible with OpenBSD/macppc; all existing
35: OpenBSD/powerpc packages will run fine on OpenBSD/socppc.
36:
37: <p>
38: The current port maintainer is Mark Kettenis
39: (<a href="mailto:kettenis@openbsd.org">kettenis@openbsd.org</a>).
40: Others are definitely welcome to contribute!

59: <h3><font color="#0000e0"><strong>History</strong></font></h3>
60: <p>
61: OpenBSD/socppc is heavily based on OpenBSD/macppc. The e300 core
62: found on the MPC8349E is a derivative of the MPC603e processor used in
1.2 ! deraadt 63: early PowerPC-based Apple Macintosh systems, so most of the low-level
1.1 kettenis 64: code is identical.

67: <h3><font color="#0000e0"><strong>Current status</strong></font></h3>
68:
69: <p>
70: Hardware support is mostly complete and quite stable. USB 1 devices
71: are only supported behind a USB 2.0 hub, and support for the
72: integrated switch on the Thecus N1200 is still missing.
