Supported platformsOpenBSD is officially supported on the following platforms. Official support means that the release install media is known to work, that the architecture can self-compile itself, and that most of the basic tools exist on the architecture. As well, releases always exist, and there are attempts to make snapshots available on a regular basis. |

Active porting effortsThe following ports are not officially supported, and are not on par with supported platforms, but they are being worked on actively and may hopefully become supported platforms in the future. There is normally no official release for these architectures yet, but normally the in-progress source code is checked into the repository, and there is an attempt to start making snapshots. |
