|---|---|---|
| 90 ↗ | (On Diff #72197) | There is also A13, A31/A31S, A33, A83T and H3/H2PLUS |
| 92 ↗ | (On Diff #72197) | Support was removed for those. |
| 93 ↗ | (On Diff #72197) | BCM2836 is also supported (RPI2) |
| 96 ↗ | (On Diff #72197) | Armada 500 isn't supported iirc, the only ARMv6 soc that we support is the broadcom one in the RPI1/0 |
| 99 ↗ | (On Diff #72197) | You can remove RK3188 |
| 100 ↗ | (On Diff #72197) | Support is broken and I have a review somewhere to remove it, I think you can drop this line. |

| 84 | should we just drop this entire section? Made more sense in the past, but now, not so much. Also, I pulled the list from the ident CPUs, so we might not actually run on all of them. | |
| 90 | We have conf for this, but not at all familiar if we actually run on this hardware. | |
| 151 | did we even ever support the TS-7200? I can try to boot it, but we only have config file for 7800... | |
Comment Actions
these should not have been marked done. Why phab did this I have no clue. Maybe they think that if you update a patch you address all of your comments, but that is a TERRIBLE assumption to make.

| 73 | Note all? "Not all"? | |
| 84 | Everything is forward compatible within each ARMvX generation, I agree that listing cores is silly. | |
| 90 | I doubt that the hardware is branded "SOCFPGA", that sounds like an internal development term | |
| 91 | note: Cavium has been acquired by Marvell, maybe say something like "Marvell/Cavium ThunderX..." If we're going to list proper server-grade machines (SBSA) like the ThunderX2 here, there's a lot more. <h4>Generic ARMv8 Server/Workstation Support</h4>
FreeBSD supports <a href="https://developer.arm.com/architectures/platform-design/server-systems">Arm ServerReady</a> compliant systems that implement the Server Base System Architecture (SBSA) and the Server Base Boot Requirements (SBBR). These machines boot with UEFI and use ACPI for device configuration.
The following platforms have been confirmed to boot:
- Marvell/Cavium ThunderX (CN88xx), ThunderX2 (CN99xx)
- AMD Opteron A1100 ("Seattle")
- Ampere eMAG 8180
- Marvell Armada 8020/8040 (with EDK2 UEFI firmware)
- NXP Layerscape LX2160A (with EDK2 UEFI firmware)
- Amazon EC2 Graviton/Graviton2 virtual instances
<h4>Supported Embedded SoCs</h4>
- Rockchip RK3328/RK3399

| 95–96 | "8k" is a very informal abbreviation. "Marvell Armada 7020/7040/8020/8040", or just "Marvell Armada 8020/8040" if we're not that sure about 7k (they're the same family) | |
| 97 | Would be nice to clarify or remove, I only saw like one driver for something Snapdragon-related. | |
| 129–130 | really bad entry, probably about old *Samsung* Chromebooks | |
| 150 | isn't "SheevaPlug" usually written without a space? | |
