OpenBSD/hppa runs on a large set of the 32-bit Hewlett Packard Precision
Architecture workstations and servers (HP PA-RISC). A subset of the 64-bit
models are supported in 32-bit mode, as well.
A mailing list dedicated to the OpenBSD/hppa port is available at
hppa@openbsd.org.
To join the OpenBSD/hppa mailing list, send a message body of "subscribe
hppa" to majordomo@openbsd.org.
Please be sure to check our mailing list policy before

The current port maintainer is
Mark Kettenis (kettenis@openbsd.org).
Others are definitely welcome to contribute!

History
This project was started in those days when the only
open source operating systems for HP PA-RISC computers were
Lites and
MkLinux.
These two sources were a major supply of information and
code for initial development of the OpenBSD/hppa port.
HPBSD
is encumbered by HP proprietary code and USL licensing and is
not publicly available.
One of the major direct benefits from previous porting efforts
(besides the code, of course) was support for HP PA-RISC in GCC and
binutils, which allowed quick building of a cross-tools environment
for development.
Later on, Hewlett-Packard decided to sponsor a
Linux port to the PA-RISC
family, which actually resulted in some proprietary documentation
being released, even though their target was a different class of 9000
machines back then.
Current status
Currently, all the supported systems boot multi-user.
In addition to the release, full snapshots are made periodically,
and work is ongoing to provide better hardware support.

Unsupported systems and devices
The following systems are unsupported, but may eventually be coaxed to life.
Some of them will boot OpenBSD, but there is not enough device support for
OpenBSD to be really useful on them.
- PA7100LC-based: Dx00, Dx10
- PA7200-based: Dx50, Dx60
- PA8000-based (in 32-bit mode): Dx70, Dx80/R380, Kx50/Kx60
- PA8200-based (in 32-bit mode): D390/R390, Kx70/Kx80
- HP 9000 E-Class (with limited I/O)
- Most Hitachi PA-RISC workstations and servers
The following systems are very unlikely to be supported since they either have
incompatible firmware (the 3000s) or almost completely undocumented I/O
subsystems (the 8x7s).
- HP 3000 900
- HP 9000 8x7 (F, G, H, I-Class)
Even though some 64-bit systems are supported by this port in 32-bit mode,
the following models cannot be supported due to the I/O system limitations:
- PA8500-based: A400/rp24x0, L1000/L2000
- PA8600-based: A400/rp2450, L3000/rp5400
- PA8700-based: A500/rp2470, N4000/rp74x0, rp8400
- PA8800-based: A500-9x, C8000, rp3410, rp3440, rp4410, rp4440, rp7420, rp84x0
- PA8900-based: C8000, rp3410, rp3440, rp4410, rp4440, rp7420, rp84x0
Convex PA-RISC systems (NUMA supercomputing clusters
consisting of one or more 8-way SMP nodes with PA7100 or PA7200 CPUs)
are unlikely to be ever supported.
All other HP 9000 6xx, 8xx and 9xx server systems will probably never
be supported by this port since they are of 1.0 PA-RISC architecture,
which is substantially inferior to the 1.1.
Unsupported peripherals
This list is not meant to be exhaustive either, but sums up the most commonly
encountered devices on hppa machines.
- dino(4) Dino in card mode.
- pcmcia(4) PCMCIA adapters.
- mongoose(4) EISA bus adapter.
- VME controller
- Any HP-PB devices
- On-board floppy controller
- Dino's PS/2 keyboard and mouse controller

Of course, no hppa page, be it OpenBSD or not, could pretend to be serious
without linking to the essential OpenPA
reference website.
¡®Yes, sir. I felt sure you understood that. She said she had told you.¡¯ "Why, eh,--I--I don't know that my movements need have anything to do with his. Yours, of course,--" "Ah, but if it saved your life!" "No, I'm not," grumbled the Doctor, "I've had enough of this wild-goose chase. And besides, it's nearly dinner time." "I am coming to that," Lawrence said, lighting a fresh cigarette. "As soon as Bruce was in trouble and the plot began to reel off I saw that it was mine. Of course there were large varyings in the details, but the scheme was mine. It was even laid on the same spot as my skeleton story. When I grasped that, I knew quite well that somebody must have stolen my plot." Judy In a coach-house, through which we passed on our way to see the prince's favourite horses with the state carriages¡ªquite commonplace and comfortable, and made at Palitana¡ªwas a chigram,[Pg 68] off which its silk cover was lifted; it was painted bright red and spangled with twinkling copper nails. This carriage, which is hermetically closed when the Ranee goes out in it, was lined with cloth-of-gold patterned with Gohel Sheri's initials within a horseshoe: a little hand-glass on one of the cushions, two boxes of chased silver, the curtains and hangings redolent of otto of roses. "Are you certain of it? You have seen so very little of him, and you may be mistaken." "And your wife?" "I drawed on my man's bundle o' wood," said Gid, "and then dropped a little, so's to git him where he was biggest and make sure o' him." HoME²¨¶àÒ°½áÒÂ×óÏßÊÓƵ
