1.7 kettenis 22: OpenBSD/socppc runs on machines based on the <a
23: href="http://www.freescale.com">Freescale</a> MPC8349E System-on-Chip
1.11 kettenis 24: (SoC) platform that use Das U-Boot or RouterBOOT as a boot loader. So
25: far this platform supports the <a href="http://www.thecus.com">Thecus</a>
26: N1200 and the <a href="http://www.microtik.com">MicroTik</a>
27: <a href="http://www.routerboard.com">RouterBOARD</a> RB600A.
28:
29: <p>
30: The Thecus N1200 is a one-disk NAS box based on an MPC8347 running at
1.7 kettenis 31: 266MHz. It has 128MB of memory, one 1000baseT Ethernet port, an
32: integrated 100baseTX Ethernet switch, two USB 2.0 ports and an eSATA
33: port as well as room for one SATA disk.
34:
35: <p>
1.11 kettenis 36: The RouterBOARD RB600A is based on an MPC8343 running at 266MHz or
1.7 kettenis 37: 400MHz. It has 128MB of memory, three 1000baseT Ethernet ports, two
1.12 jasper 38: CF slots and four mini-PCI slots. Support for the RB600A has been added
39: in OpenBSD 4.7.
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!

1.1 kettenis 62: <p>
63: OpenBSD/socppc is heavily based on OpenBSD/macppc. The e300 core
64: found on the MPC8349E is a derivative of the MPC603e processor used in
1.2 deraadt 65: early PowerPC-based Apple Macintosh systems, so most of the low-level
1.1 kettenis 66: code is identical.

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