OpenBSD/sparc64


-

History and Status:

-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 +(jason@openbsd.org). +Others are welcome to contribute.

+

History:

-Contact Theo de Raadt if you -are interested in working on this and need more information. +The orginial port was made for NetBSD by Eduardo Horvath and released for +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.


+

Current status:

+ +

+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. +

+ +

+There hasn't been a need for a separate mailing list for OpenBSD/sparc64, +instead the OpenBSD/sparc mailing list is used. +To join the OpenBSD/sparc mailing list, send a message body of +"subscribe sparc" to +majordomo@OpenBSD.org. +

+ +
+

Where to get it:

+ +

+There has not been any formal release of OpenBSD/sparc64 yet, but more or less +functional snapshots are made quite often and can be found at: + +ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/sparc64/ + +

+ +
+

Supported hardware:

+ +

OpenBSD/sparc64 has been tested on the following SUN UltraSPARC models:
