OpenBSD/sgi runs on most 64 bit MIPS-based SGI servers and workstations.
|
|
OpenBSD/sgi is a fully featured 64 bit port and will thus only run on systems
|
|
based on 64 bit processors, i.e. R4000 and up.
|

|
|
<p>
|

<strong>The OpenBSD/sgi port was discontinued after the 6.9 release.</strong>

<h3 id="history"><strong>History</strong></h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The OpenBSD/sgi port has its roots in the <a href="arc.html">OpenBSD/arc</a>
|
|
port created early in the OpenBSD history. ARC support was rather soon
|
|
discontinued due to the lack of interest and availability of decent hardware.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Eventually SGI hardware became more affordable and obtainable, and interest
|
|
for an SGI port in the tree increased.
|
|
The final piece, a working 64 bit toolchain, eventually became available and
|
|
allowed the 64 bit SGI OpenBSD port to appear in 2004.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Hardware support was initially limited to the O2 workstations. Efforts
|
|
to port to more systems did not really start until 2008, where the first
|
|
Octane support parts were introduced. This work was completed in 2009
|
|
with support for Origin family systems as well, allowing OpenBSD to be
|
|
the first free operating system to run on the Fuel workstations, and even
|
|
later, also on Origin 350 servers.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The earlier generation of R4000 Indigo, Indy and Indigo2 was not forgotten
|
|
either and support for it appeared in 2012. This paved the way for
|
|
R8000 and R10000 <i>POWER Indigo2</i> support as well.
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="status"><strong>Current status</strong></h3>
|
|
|
|
OpenBSD/sgi runs in 64 bit mode and boots multi-user on supported
|
|
systems. All graphics options but the IP27 Kona frame buffer should be
|
|
supported. On such setups, the kernel will be limited to serial console
|
|
operation only. An X server, currently unaccelerated, is also available
|
|
for IP32 (O2) systems.

</ul>
|
|
Multiprocessor operation is supported.

</ul>
|
|
R5000, RM5200, RM7000 as well as R10000 and R12000 processor options are
|
|
supported, including the RM7000 level 3 cache.
|
|
</ul>

<li>Tezro
|
|
<li>Onyx 4 (currently limited to serial console)

|
<li>Onyx 350 has not been tested, but ought to work
|
|
since it is very similar to Origin 350.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
Origin 300 and Onyx 300 are not supported yet. Single-node multiprocessor
|
|
operation is supported at least on Origin 350.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
Note that <i>Octane 3</i> and <i>Origin 400</i> systems are completely different
|
|
architectures based on x86 processors, and as such are not supported
