OpenBSD/zaurus is an effort to make OpenBSD run on several PDAs of the
Sharp Zaurus family.
Initially targeted is the C3000/C3100/C3200 models which contain a 4GB CF
hard drive internally.
<p>
A mailing list for ARM-based ports is available at
<u><font color="#23238e">arm@openbsd.org</font></u>.
To join the OpenBSD/arm mailing list, send a message body of
<b>"subscribe arm"</b> to
<a href="mailto:majordomo@openbsd.org">majordomo@openbsd.org</a>.
Please be sure to check our <a href="mail.html">mailing list policy</a> before
subscribing.
<p>
The current port maintainers are Dale Rahn
(<a href="mailto:drahn@openbsd.org">drahn@openbsd.org</a>) and Uwe Stuehler
(<a href="mailto:uwe@openbsd.org">uwe@openbsd.org</a>).
Others are definitely welcome to contribute!

<h3><font color="#0000e0"><strong>History:</strong></font></h3>
<p>
Shortly after Sharp unveiled its first Zaurus machines, some OpenBSD developers
started dreaming of running OpenBSD on it, to have the smallest possible
ssh-capable machine!
<p>
After the <a href="cats.html">OpenBSD/cats</a> was completed in order to benefit
from a good ARM development platform, work on the Zaurus hardware started in 2004.
Since the Zaurus is a fully capable machine, we no longer cross compile. All
builds of Zaurus (and even the shared "arm" packages) are done on the Zaurus directly.

<a name="status"></a>
<h3><font color="#0000e0"><strong>Current status:</strong></font></h3>
<p>
The port is relatively new and development is progressing steadily,
but basic hardware support is mostly complete and quite stable.
The Zaurus boots multiuser, X11 runs, and device support is being
constantly improved.
Most PCMCIA/CF devices work (such as wireless/ethernet cards), as well
as host USB, and the keyboard and touch screen are supported by X11.
Audio playback is working, and the machine is of course able to suspend
much like a regular laptop.
Even the processor performance mode can be adjusted with
<a
href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=apm&sektion=8&arch=zaurus">apmd</a>,
just like on other platforms.
<hr>
<a name="projects"></a>
<h3><font color="#0000e0"><strong>Projects (in no particular order):
</strong></font></h3>
<ul>
<li>Repair pcmcia issues that are causing "white-out" problems with some devices.
<li>Fix the odd suspend crashing bugs and RTC skew.
<li>SD/SDIO support.
<li>C860/C1000 support.
<li>Zaurus as a USB Ethernet device (appearing as
<a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cdce&sektion=4">cdce</a>
to another host).
Parts of this are commited, but need to be finished.
<li>Support the I2C GPIO controller (C3100 and C3200) using the
machine-independent i2c code.
<li>Internal flash memory support.
</ul>

<p>
<strong>USB Devices</strong><p>
Note: the Zaurus USB port supplies very little current when using the USB host
cable, hence some devices will require use of a powered HUB. Using the Zaurus
as a USB device is currently not supported.
