! 46:
1.1 miod 47: <p>
48: Shortly after Sharp unveiled its first Zaurus machines, some OpenBSD developers
49: started dreaming of running OpenBSD on it, to have the smallest possible
50: ssh-capable machine!
51:
52: <p>
53: After the <a href="cats.html">OpenBSD/cats</a> was completed in order to benefit
1.26 deraadt 54: from a good ARM development platform, work on the Zaurus hardware started in 2004.
1.128 guenther 55: Since the Zaurus was a fully capable machine, we didn't cross compile.
56: All builds of Zaurus were done on the Zaurus directly.
57:
58: <p>
59: Eventually, the <a href="armv7.html">OpenBSD/armv7</a> port development
60: broke arm userspace on zaurus.
61: Since there were effectively no remaining users,
62: it was removed instead of splitting the userlands.

1.70 miod 67: Hardware support is mostly complete and quite stable.
1.128 guenther 68: The Zaurus boots multiuser and X11 runs.
1.8 pvalchev 69: Most PCMCIA/CF devices work (such as wireless/ethernet cards), as well
1.77 uwe 70: as host USB, SD/MMC memory cards and the keyboard and touch screen are supported by X11.
1.56 uwe 71: Audio playback is working, and the machine is of course able to suspend
1.26 deraadt 72: much like a regular laptop.
1.56 uwe 73: Even the processor performance mode can be adjusted with
1.133 ! bentley 74: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/zaurus/apm.8">apmd(8)</a>, just like on other platforms.
