16: about="""
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
19: to evaluation boards, the original target of the port, but this
20: is no longer relevant - NetBSD/evbarm now runs on a range of
21: hardware based on APCI or devicetrees, including a range of development
22: boards, powerful servers, virtual machines, and even some laptops.
23: """
24:
25: ### CPU types
26:
27: Various CPU variants are supported, e.g:
28:
29: - evbarm-earmv6hf - ARMv6 with EABI and hardware floating point, e.g.
30: the original Raspberry Pi.
31: - evbarm-earmv7hf - ARMv7 with EABI and hardware floating point, e.g.
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.
35: - evbarm-aarch64 - 64-bit ARMv8
36: - evbarm-aarch64eb - Same as the above, but with the CPU running in
37: big endian mode.
38:
39: evbarm variants are little endian unless otherwise stated. NetBSD provides
40: big endian images primarily for testing purposes and to ensure that the code
41: is endian-clean.
42:
43: Since NetBSD 9.0, 64-bit ARM processors are supported (referred to here
44: as aarch64). These run with fully 64-bit kernels and userland. Running
45: 32-bit ARM binaries is also supported with `compat32`.
46:
47: ### armbsd.org builds
48:
49: 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*.
50:
51: ### Board specific information (often including installation information)
52:
53: - [[Allwinner sunxi family SoCs|Allwinner]]
54: - [[BeagleBone, BeagleBone Black, and PocketBeagle|BeagleBone]]
55: - [[NVIDIA Tegra|Tegra]]
56: - [[ODROID C1 and C1+|ODROID-C1]]
57: - [[Raspberry Pi 1, 2 and 3|Raspberry Pi]]
58: - [[RockChip SoCs|RockChip]]
59: - [[Terasic DE0 Nano-SoC|Cyclone5]]
60:
61: **NOTE**: This list is incomplete. For a full list of supported boards, please see the list of [32-bit](https://github.com/NetBSD/src/blob/netbsd-9/sys/arch/evbarm/conf/GENERIC#L18) and [64-bit](https://github.com/NetBSD/src/blob/netbsd-9/sys/arch/evbarm/conf/GENERIC64#L20) device trees.
62:
63: ### QEMU
64:
65: See the [[NetBSD/evbarm under QEMU|qemu_arm]] page for instructions on how to get started with QEMU.
66:
67: ### anita
68:
69: 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.
70:
71: - evbarm-earmv7hf uses "qemu-system-arm -M vexpress-a15"
72: - evbarm-aarch64 uses "qemu-system-aarch64 -M virt"
73: - Information on how to test emulated versions of other specific hardware is welcome.
