1.1 deraadt 21: <p>
22:
1.325 deraadt 23: The following list outlines hardware that the OpenBSD project could use.
24: There are a number of reasons why developers need hardware, and it is important
25: to first of all realize these reasons:
1.995 tj 26:
1.325 deraadt 27: <ul>
28: <li>To support a specific device, normally one which is more rare or new.
1.831 miod 29: <li>To be part of their development environment.
1.653 kevlo 30: <li>Some types of machines may be different in some way
1.741 sobrado 31: (i.e. big-endian or unsigned-char) and ensure that developers
1.325 deraadt 32: write code more carefully.
1.831 miod 33: <li>That said, space or power may be at a premium for some people.
1.653 kevlo 34: </ul>
1.1 deraadt 35:
1.78 deraadt 36: If you do not own these devices, but want to help us, we recommend you
1.653 kevlo 37: search on <a href="http://www.ebay.com">eBay</a> for the devices. If
1.78 deraadt 38: you do the bidding and then get the device shipped to us, it really
1.325 deraadt 39: helps us. It is better if developers develop, and skip the bidding process,
1.653 kevlo 40: since any time saved can be spent on improving OpenBSD instead.<p>
1.258 david 41:
1.325 deraadt 42: If it is clear which specific developer should be contacted, please do
43: so directly. Otherwise contact <a href="mailto:deraadt@openbsd.org">Theo de Raadt</a>
1.653 kevlo 44: who will pass on the message to whichever developers are in need.<p>
1.22 deraadt 45:
1.325 deraadt 46: Please be very clear as to where you are located!! For larger items this
47: can be very important.

1.995 tj 51: <h3><font color="#e00000">General device requirements</font></h3>
52:
1.325 deraadt 53: We try to spread these types of devices around our development community.
1.995 tj 54:
1.313 jsg 55: <ul>
1.1031 deraadt 56: <li>Laptops. These die often enough that as a group our needier
57: developers need help replacing about 2-3 per year.
1.653 kevlo 58: <li>Apple Mac powerpc equipment.
1.670 deraadt 59: <li>HP J6750 machines (J6700 is the second best choice).
1.912 deraadt 60: <li>Faster & smaller sparc64 machines, for instance 1U rack mount
61: machines. It is important to spread sparc64 around the development
1.913 sthen 62: community, since it is the most strict platform for detecting non-portable
1.912 deraadt 63: or buggy code.
1.653 kevlo 64: <li>Any amd64 or faster i386 hardware which comes available.
65: <li>We generally do not need older and "very common" ISA/PCI equipment, since
1.325 deraadt 66: our developers will generally have gotten their hands on these in the
67: past.

1.1056 ccardena 72: David Gwynne (in Australia), Claudio Jeker (in Switzerland), and
73: Carlos Cardenas (in United States) are working on support for
74: 10 Gigabit Ethernet devices. These developers would like the
1.1008 mikeb 75: following hardware to help development:
1.995 tj 76:

89:
90: Carlos Cardenas (in United States) is working on LACP support for data
91: center deployments. This requires each host to have a LACP trunk to two
92: switches that are in a MLAG configuration. This developer would like the
93: following hardware to help development:
94:
95: <ul>
96: <li>2 x Arista DCS-7150S-24, 24-Port 10G SFP+, AC Power
97: <li>2 x Arista OEM 10G SFP+ SR Optics (LC Connections)

120: <h4><font color="#e00000">Notes when contributing switches</font></h4>
121:
122: To help the developer integrate the hardware quickly,
123:
124: <ul>
125: <li>Please ensure all cables match the developer's locale (US plugs)
126: <li>PSUs are AC Power unless explicitly requesting DC
127: <li>Software/Firmware versions are the same on each pair of switches.
128: Version discrepancies can prevent MLAG from working.
