There is a sparc64 port in the beginning stages. |
OpenBSD/sparc64 runs on the 64bit Sun UltraSPARC machines. |
|
The current port maintainer is Jason Wright |
|
(<a href="mailto:jason@openbsd.org">jason@openbsd.org</a>). |
|
Others are welcome to contribute. |

the first time in January 1999. |
|
The porting to OpenBSD started in August 2001 and in the end of September the |
|
first binary snapshot was released. The porting was done mainly by Jason |
|
Wright and Artur Grabowski and was done on both sbus and PCI machines so that |
|
a decently wide hardware support was ready even before the system could boot |
|
multiuser. |

|
<p> |
|
Currently most of the hardware available to the developers boots multiuser and |
|
supports enough of the on-board devices to be generally useable. No attempts |
|
have been made for graphics console support yet so only serial or prom consoles |
|
are available. The same applies to support of more expansion hardware for |
|
the PCI bus or the SBUS. |
