<h3><a name="status">Status</a></h3>

|
|
|
<p>UltraSPARC is a
|
|
<a href="&base;/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/committers-guide/archs.html">
|
|
Tier 2</a> architecture, and as such is not fully supported by the
|
|
<a href="&base;">FreeBSD</a> project. Although fully functional, the port
|
|
is not as mature as the existing i386 or amd64 ports.</p>

systems that contain more than 1 processor. For full details please see

<p>The following systems are partially supported by FreeBSD. In
|
|
particular the fibre channel controllers in SBus-based systems are not
|
|
supported. However, it is possible to use these with a SCSI controller
|
|
supported by the esp(4) driver (Sun ESP SCSI, Sun FAS Fast-SCSI
|
|
and Sun FAS366 Fast-Wide SCSI controllers).</p>

|
|
|
|
<p>Starting with 7.2-RELEASE, sparc64 systems based on
|
|
UltraSPARC III and beyond are also supported by FreeBSD, which includes
|
|
the following known working systems:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Blade 1000</li>
|
|
<li>Blade 1500</li>
|

<li>Blade 2500</li>
|
|
<li>Fire 280R</li>
|
|
<li>Fire V210</li>
|
|
<li>Fire V250</li>
|
|
<li>Fire V440 (support for the on-board NICs first appeared in
|
|
8.0-RELEASE)</li>
|
|
<li>Fire V880</li>
|
|
<li>Netra 20/Netra T4</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>The following UltraSPARC IIIi systems are not tested but
|
|
believed to be also supported by FreeBSD:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Fire V125</li>
|
|
<li>Fire V240</li>
|
|
</ul>

|
<p>If you have a system that is not listed here please try it, and let
|
|
<a href="mailto:freebsd-sparc@FreeBSD.org">us</a> know about it.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Note that newer UltraSPARC-T1® processor based systems are supported
