58: <p>
1.98 nick 59: The original port was made for NetBSD by Eduardo Horvath and released for
1.4 art 60: the first time in January 1999.
61: The porting to OpenBSD started in August 2001 and in the end of September the
62: first binary snapshot was released. The porting was done mainly by Jason
1.98 nick 63: Wright and Artur Grabowski and was done on both SBus and PCI machines so that
1.6 jcs 64: a decently wide range of hardware support was ready even before the system
65: could boot multiuser.
1.1 mickey 66:
1.48 jason 67: <p>
68: OpenBSD 3.0 was the first official release of OpenBSD/sparc64, and since
69: that release support for many more devices has been added (including
1.262 saad 70: devices required for X11R6 support). The other architectures that
71: OpenBSD supports have benefited because some kinds of bugs are
1.260 deraadt 72: exposed more often by the 64-bit big endian nature of UltraSPARC.
1.204 deraadt 73:
74: <p>
1.270 sthen 75: Sun refused access to the necessary documentation for the (very bizarre)
1.260 deraadt 76: host bridge and caches in the UltraSPARC III machines, so a few years were
77: lost before some reverse engineering figured out the changes in these
78: machines (and the undocumented processor bugs, too). In 2007, Sun
79: <a href="#hwdocs">was finally convinced</a> to release the missing
80: information, and development progress became more rapid.
81:
82: <p>
83: OpenBSD 4.0 was the first release to ship with support for the
1.272 kettenis 84: UltraSPARC III based machines; OpenBSD 4.3 first with SMP support, and
1.288 kettenis 85: OpenBSD 4.4 will be the first to support the UltraSPARC IV, UltraSPARC
86: T1, UltraSPARC T2, SPARC64-V, SPARC64-VI and SPARC64-VII processors.
1.204 deraadt 87:
88: <p>
89: And since there are always little bits missing, work is continuing...

562: convincing Sun to go back into their archives and dig up the data sheets
563: that they had written in-house, describing the operation of their chips to

1.89 miod 600: <ul>
601: <li><strong>CD boot</strong>
602: <p>
603: Booting off the CD provides a small ffs filesystem with a kernel containing
604: drivers for the most popular devices found on UltraSPARC hardware.<br>
605: For the latest list of drivers available on this image, take a look at the
606: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/sys/arch/sparc64/conf/RAMDISK?rev=HEAD">RAMDISK</a>
