1.7 kettenis 21: OpenBSD/socppc runs on machines based on the <a
22: href="http://www.freescale.com">Freescale</a> MPC8349E System-on-Chip
1.11 kettenis 23: (SoC) platform that use Das U-Boot or RouterBOOT as a boot loader. So
24: far this platform supports the <a href="http://www.thecus.com">Thecus</a>
25: N1200 and the <a href="http://www.microtik.com">MicroTik</a>
26: <a href="http://www.routerboard.com">RouterBOARD</a> RB600A.
27:
28: <p>
29: The Thecus N1200 is a one-disk NAS box based on an MPC8347 running at
1.7 kettenis 30: 266MHz. It has 128MB of memory, one 1000baseT Ethernet port, an
31: integrated 100baseTX Ethernet switch, two USB 2.0 ports and an eSATA
32: port as well as room for one SATA disk.
33:
34: <p>
1.11 kettenis 35: The RouterBOARD RB600A is based on an MPC8343 running at 266MHz or
1.7 kettenis 36: 400MHz. It has 128MB of memory, three 1000baseT Ethernet ports, two
1.12 jasper 37: CF slots and four mini-PCI slots. Support for the RB600A has been added
38: in OpenBSD 4.7.
1.1 kettenis 39:
40: <p>
41: OpenBSD/socppc is binary compatible with OpenBSD/macppc; all existing
42: OpenBSD/powerpc packages will run fine on OpenBSD/socppc.
43:
44: <p>
45: The current port maintainer is Mark Kettenis
46: (<a href="mailto:kettenis@openbsd.org">kettenis@openbsd.org</a>).
47: Others are definitely welcome to contribute!

63: <p>
64: OpenBSD/socppc is heavily based on OpenBSD/macppc. The e300 core
65: found on the MPC8349E is a derivative of the MPC603e processor used in
1.2 deraadt 66: early PowerPC-based Apple Macintosh systems, so most of the low-level
1.1 kettenis 67: code is identical.

72: <p>
73: Hardware support is mostly complete and quite stable. USB 1 devices
74: are only supported behind a USB 2.0 hub, and support for the
75: integrated switch on the Thecus N1200 is still missing.
