1.1 miod 23: OpenBSD/zaurus is an effort to make OpenBSD run on several PDAs of the
1.38 deraadt 24: Sharp Zaurus family.
1.68 deraadt 25: Initially targeted is the C3000/C3100/C3200 models which contain a 4GB CF
1.38 deraadt 26: hard drive internally.

1.1 miod 54: <p>
55: Shortly after Sharp unveiled its first Zaurus machines, some OpenBSD developers
56: started dreaming of running OpenBSD on it, to have the smallest possible
57: ssh-capable machine!
58:
59: <p>
60: After the <a href="cats.html">OpenBSD/cats</a> was completed in order to benefit
1.26 deraadt 61: from a good ARM development platform, work on the Zaurus hardware started in 2004.
1.29 deraadt 62: Since the Zaurus is a fully capable machine, we no longer cross compile. All
1.77 uwe 63: builds of Zaurus are done on the Zaurus directly. (The shared "arm" packages are
64: nowadays built on the <a href="armish.html">armish</a> platform, because it is faster.)

69: <p>
1.70 miod 70: Hardware support is mostly complete and quite stable.
1.26 deraadt 71: The Zaurus boots multiuser, X11 runs, and device support is being
1.13 drahn 72: constantly improved.
1.8 pvalchev 73: Most PCMCIA/CF devices work (such as wireless/ethernet cards), as well
1.77 uwe 74: as host USB, SD/MMC memory cards and the keyboard and touch screen are supported by X11.
1.56 uwe 75: Audio playback is working, and the machine is of course able to suspend
1.26 deraadt 76: much like a regular laptop.
1.56 uwe 77: Even the processor performance mode can be adjusted with
1.91 deraadt 78: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=apm&sektion=8&arch=zaurus">apmd(8)</a>, just like on other platforms.
