1.89 nia 17: NetBSD/evbarm is the port of NetBSD to various systems based on chips
18: implementing the ARM architecture. The "evb" component is a reference
1.95 nia 19: to evaluation boards, the original target of the port. However, the
20: single GENERIC/GENERIC64 kernel now supports a range of machines including
21: development boards, virtual machines, "ServerReady" (SBBR/SBSA) hardware,
22: and laptops through both device tree and ACPI based booting.

1.42 gdt 25: ### CPU types
26:
1.89 nia 27: Various CPU variants are supported, e.g:
28:
1.96 nia 29: - evbarm-earmv6hf - ARMv6-A with EABI and hardware floating point, e.g.
1.89 nia 30: the original Raspberry Pi.
1.96 nia 31: - evbarm-earmv7hf - ARMv7-A with EABI and hardware floating point, e.g.
1.89 nia 32: most recent and common 32-bit ARM boards.
33: - evbarm-earmv7hfeb - Same as the above, but with the CPU running in
34: big endian mode.
1.97 ! nia 35: - evbarm-aarch64 - 64-bit ARMv8-A
1.89 nia 36: - evbarm-aarch64eb - Same as the above, but with the CPU running in
37: big endian mode.
38:
1.90 nia 39: Since NetBSD 9.0, 64-bit ARM processors are supported (referred to here
40: as aarch64). These run with fully 64-bit kernels and userland. Running
1.96 nia 41: 32-bit ARM binaries is also supported with `compat32`. The 64-bit
42: kernel supports up to 256 CPUs and the 32-bit kernel supports up to 8.
1.90 nia 43:
1.95 nia 44: Since NetBSD 9.0, there is support for symmetric and asymmetrical
45: multiprocessing (aka big.LITTLE).
46:
1.89 nia 47: evbarm variants are little endian unless otherwise stated. NetBSD provides
48: big endian images primarily for testing purposes and to ensure that the code
49: is endian-clean.

72:
73: NetBSD developer Jared McNeill provides [builds of NetBSD 9 and -current for a vast variety of hardware.](https://www.armbsd.org/) In addition to the standard build, these images have board-specific U-Boot contents. See also /usr/pkgsrc/sysutils/u-boot*.

1.77 gdt 76:
1.88 nia 77: 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.
1.77 gdt 78:
1.91 nia 79: - evbarm-earmv7hf uses 'qemu-system-arm -M vexpress-a15'
80: - evbarm-aarch64 uses 'qemu-system-aarch64 -M virt'
1.88 nia 81: - Information on how to test emulated versions of other specific hardware is welcome.
