About NetBSD/mvmeppc

NetBSD/mvmeppc is the port of NetBSD to Motorola's PowerPC VME Single Board Computers (SBC). The first Motorola SBC (68k-based) was introduced in 1988. Motorola has continued development on 68k and PowerPC based SBC VME modules.

Development activity on NetBSD/mvmeppc continues at a speed that depends on people's spare time and access to hardware. NetBSD runs on a subset of the now obsolete MVME160x family of PowerPC-based MVME boards, but support for more recent boards will be added as and when hardware becomes available to NetBSD developers.
