<h3><a name="intro">Introduction</a></h3>

|
|
|
<p>The FreeBSD/ia64 project pages contain information about the
|
|
FreeBSD port to Intel's IA-64 architecture; officially known as
|
|
the Intel Itanium® Processor Family (IPF). As with the port
|
|
itself, these pages are still mostly a work in progress.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="status">Current status</a></h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>The ia64 port is still considered a tier 2 platform. This boils
|
|
down to not being fully supported by our security officer, release
|
|
engineers and toolchain maintainers. In practice however the
|
|
distinction between a tier 1 platform (which is fully supported)
|
|
and a tier 2 platform is not as strict as it seems. In almost all
|
|
aspects the ia64 port is a tier 1 platform.
|
|
<br/>
|
|
From a developer point of view there's an advantage to have the ia64
|
|
port be a tier 2 platform for a while longer. We still have a couple
|
|
of ABI breaking changes in the pipeline and having to maintain
|
|
backward compatibility this early in a ports life is less than
|
|
ideal.</p>
