  about="""
  NetBSD/evbarm is the port of NetBSD to various evaluation and prototyping
- Line 22  designs.
+ Line 20  designs.
  Matt Thomas is the maintainer of NetBSD/evbarm.
+ ### CPU types
+ The evbarm port can be built with a variety of CPU options.  There are
+ three main variables: the instruction set, the endianness, and whether
+ there is hardware floating point.  By default the CPU type is "earm",
+ and this implies little endian (el when explicitly stated), and soft
+ (emulated) floating point.  Another example, suitable for Raspberry PI
+, is earmv7hf, which is the v7 instruction set, little endian,
+ and hardware floating point.
+ Typically, various boards are best compiled with a CPU type that
+ matches the board's CPU and floating point support, but generally a
+ lower CPU instruction set version is workable on a newer board.  See
+ build.sh and look for aliases for the evbarm port.
+ Some processors can operate as arm or the 64-bit ARM variant, aarch64, which is supported by
+ [[NetBSD/aarch64|aarch64]].
+ ### Kernels and userland
+ The evbarm userland can be used on any system that can run code of the
+ CPU type used for the build.  Typically, a particular board requires a
+ kernel for that board.
+ ### anita and qemu
+ anita can be used to test builds.  (In addition to anita, install qemu and dtb-arm-vexpress from pkgsrc.)   The release subdirectory should follow the naming convention on the autobuild cluster, used below.
+   - evbarm-earmv7hf uses "qemu -M vexpress-a15"
+   - evbarm-aarch64 uses "qemu -M virt"
+   - Information on how to test emulated versions of other specific hardware is welcome.
