49: <p>
1.98 nick 50: The original port was made for NetBSD by Eduardo Horvath and released for
1.4 art 51: the first time in January 1999.
52: The porting to OpenBSD started in August 2001 and in the end of September the
53: first binary snapshot was released. The porting was done mainly by Jason
1.98 nick 54: Wright and Artur Grabowski and was done on both SBus and PCI machines so that
1.6 jcs 55: a decently wide range of hardware support was ready even before the system
56: could boot multiuser.
1.1 mickey 57:
1.48 jason 58: <p>
59: OpenBSD 3.0 was the first official release of OpenBSD/sparc64, and since
60: that release support for many more devices has been added (including
1.262 saad 61: devices required for X11R6 support). The other architectures that
62: OpenBSD supports have benefited because some kinds of bugs are
1.260 deraadt 63: exposed more often by the 64-bit big endian nature of UltraSPARC.
1.204 deraadt 64:
65: <p>
1.270 sthen 66: Sun refused access to the necessary documentation for the (very bizarre)
1.260 deraadt 67: host bridge and caches in the UltraSPARC III machines, so a few years were
68: lost before some reverse engineering figured out the changes in these
69: machines (and the undocumented processor bugs, too). In 2007, Sun
70: <a href="#hwdocs">was finally convinced</a> to release the missing
71: information, and development progress became more rapid.
72:
73: <p>
74: OpenBSD 4.0 was the first release to ship with support for the
1.310 miod 75: UltraSPARC III based machines; OpenBSD 4.3 first with SMP support, and
1.362 kettenis 76: OpenBSD 4.4 has been the first to support the UltraSPARC IV,
77: UltraSPARC T1, UltraSPARC T2, SPARC64-V, SPARC64-VI and SPARC64-VII
78: processors. OpenBSD 5.7 has been the first to support the SPARC T3,
1.372 kettenis 79: SPARC T4, SPARC T5, SPARC M5, SPARC M6 and SPARC64-X processors.
1.204 deraadt 80:
81: <p>
82: And since there are always little bits missing, work is continuing...
