<p>
OpenBSD/zaurus is an effort to make OpenBSD run on several PDAs of the
Sharp Zaurus family.
Initially targeted is the C3000/C3100/C3200 models which contain a 4GB CF
hard drive internally.
<p>
<strong>The OpenBSD/zaurus port was discontinued after the 6.0 release.</strong>
<p>
A mailing list for ARM-based ports is available at

<h3 id="history"><strong>History</strong></h3>
<p>
Shortly after Sharp unveiled its first Zaurus machines, some OpenBSD developers
started dreaming of running OpenBSD on it, to have the smallest possible
ssh-capable machine!
<p>
After the <a href="cats.html">OpenBSD/cats</a> was completed in order to benefit
from a good ARM development platform, work on the Zaurus hardware started in 2004.
Since the Zaurus was a fully capable machine, we didn't cross compile.
All builds of Zaurus were done on the Zaurus directly.
<p>
Eventually, the <a href="armv7.html">OpenBSD/armv7</a> port development
broke arm userspace on zaurus.
Since there were effectively no remaining users,
it was removed instead of splitting the userlands.
<h3 id="status"><strong>Current status</strong></h3>
<p>
Hardware support is mostly complete and quite stable.
The Zaurus boots multiuser and X11 runs.
Most PCMCIA/CF devices work (such as wireless/ethernet cards), as well
as host USB, SD/MMC memory cards and the keyboard and touch screen are supported by X11.
Audio playback is working, and the machine is of course able to suspend
much like a regular laptop.
Even the processor performance mode can be adjusted with
<a href="https://man.openbsd.org/OpenBSD-6.0/zaurus/apm.8">apmd(8)</a>, just like on other platforms.
