1.1 miod 20: OpenBSD/zaurus is an effort to make OpenBSD run on several PDAs of the
1.38 deraadt 21: Sharp Zaurus family.
1.68 deraadt 22: Initially targeted is the C3000/C3100/C3200 models which contain a 4GB CF
1.38 deraadt 23: hard drive internally.

1.1 miod 38: <p>
39: Shortly after Sharp unveiled its first Zaurus machines, some OpenBSD developers
40: started dreaming of running OpenBSD on it, to have the smallest possible
41: ssh-capable machine!
42:
43: <p>
44: After the <a href="cats.html">OpenBSD/cats</a> was completed in order to benefit
1.26 deraadt 45: from a good ARM development platform, work on the Zaurus hardware started in 2004.
1.29 deraadt 46: Since the Zaurus is a fully capable machine, we no longer cross compile. All
1.77 uwe 47: builds of Zaurus are done on the Zaurus directly. (The shared "arm" packages are
48: nowadays built on the <a href="armish.html">armish</a> platform, because it is faster.)

52: <p>
1.70 miod 53: Hardware support is mostly complete and quite stable.
1.26 deraadt 54: The Zaurus boots multiuser, X11 runs, and device support is being
1.13 drahn 55: constantly improved.
1.8 pvalchev 56: Most PCMCIA/CF devices work (such as wireless/ethernet cards), as well
1.77 uwe 57: as host USB, SD/MMC memory cards and the keyboard and touch screen are supported by X11.
1.56 uwe 58: Audio playback is working, and the machine is of course able to suspend
1.26 deraadt 59: much like a regular laptop.
1.56 uwe 60: Even the processor performance mode can be adjusted with
1.121 sthen 61: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=apm&sektion=8&arch=zaurus">apmd(8)</a>, just like on other platforms.
