1.1 mickey 45:
46: <p>
1.98 nick 47: The original port was made for NetBSD by Eduardo Horvath and released for
1.4 art 48: the first time in January 1999.
49: The porting to OpenBSD started in August 2001 and in the end of September the
50: first binary snapshot was released. The porting was done mainly by Jason
1.98 nick 51: Wright and Artur Grabowski and was done on both SBus and PCI machines so that
1.6 jcs 52: a decently wide range of hardware support was ready even before the system
53: could boot multiuser.
1.1 mickey 54:
1.48 jason 55: <p>
56: OpenBSD 3.0 was the first official release of OpenBSD/sparc64, and since
57: that release support for many more devices has been added (including
1.262 saad 58: devices required for X11R6 support). The other architectures that
59: OpenBSD supports have benefited because some kinds of bugs are
1.260 deraadt 60: exposed more often by the 64-bit big endian nature of UltraSPARC.
1.204 deraadt 61:
62: <p>
1.270 sthen 63: Sun refused access to the necessary documentation for the (very bizarre)
1.260 deraadt 64: host bridge and caches in the UltraSPARC III machines, so a few years were
65: lost before some reverse engineering figured out the changes in these
66: machines (and the undocumented processor bugs, too). In 2007, Sun
67: <a href="#hwdocs">was finally convinced</a> to release the missing
68: information, and development progress became more rapid.
69:
70: <p>
71: OpenBSD 4.0 was the first release to ship with support for the
1.310 miod 72: UltraSPARC III based machines; OpenBSD 4.3 first with SMP support, and
1.362 kettenis 73: OpenBSD 4.4 has been the first to support the UltraSPARC IV,
74: UltraSPARC T1, UltraSPARC T2, SPARC64-V, SPARC64-VI and SPARC64-VII
75: processors. OpenBSD 5.7 has been the first to support the SPARC T3,
1.372 kettenis 76: SPARC T4, SPARC T5, SPARC M5, SPARC M6 and SPARC64-X processors.
1.204 deraadt 77:
78: <p>
79: And since there are always little bits missing, work is continuing...

1.4 art 84:
85: <p>
1.224 kettenis 86: Currently most of the hardware available to the developers boots
87: multiuser and supports enough of the on-board devices to be generally
1.241 kettenis 88: usable.
1.4 art 89:
1.49 matthieu 90: <p>
1.162 matthieu 91: The X Window System is supported on most systems.
1.323 kettenis 92: Accelerated drivers are available for ATI graphics adapters, Tech
93: Source graphics adapters and the UPA Creator, Creator 3D and Elite 3D.
1.154 miod 94: It is possible to use X in frame buffer mode with all supported SBus
1.312 miod 95: cards, as well as the on-board ATI graphics, the UPA Creator,
96: Creator 3D or Elite 3D, and the Expert 3D at the boot resolution/depth

593: OpenBSD may trigger a hardware fault on the SPARC Enterprise M3000.
594: With older versions of the firmware, this fault can only be cleared by
595: a field engineer. Make sure you update the firmware before trying to
596: run OpenBSD on these machines. Firmware XCP 1116 and later are known
597: to allow end users to clear the fault themselves. There is no
