Supported platforms

OpenBSD is officially supported on the following platforms. Official support means that the release install media is known to work, that the architecture can self-compile itself, and that most of the basic tools exist on the architecture. As well, new releases always exist, and there are attempts to make snapshots available on a regular basis.

alpha Digital Alpha-based systems

amd64 AMD64-based systems

arm64 64-bit ARM systems

armv7 ARM based devices, such as BeagleBone, PandaBoard, CuBox-i, SABRE Lite, Nitrogen6x and Wandboard

hppa Hewlett-Packard Precision Architecture (PA-RISC) systems

i386 Standard PC and clones based on the Intel i386 architecture and compatible processors

landisk IO-DATA Landisk systems (such as USL-5P) based on the SH4 cpu

loongson Loongson 2E- and 2F-based systems, such as the Lemote Fuloong and Yeeloong, Gdium Liberty, etc.

luna88k Omron LUNA-88K and LUNA-88K2 workstations

macppc Apple New World PowerPC-based machines, from the iMac onwards

powerpc64 IBM POWER-based PowerNV systems

riscv64 64-bit RISC-V systems

sparc64 Sun UltraSPARC and Fujitsu SPARC64 systems

Current porting efforts

The following ports are not officially supported, and are not on par with supported platforms, but they are being worked on and may hopefully become supported platforms in the future, if enough progress is made.
