It lists the hardware platforms supported by FreeBSD, as well as the various types of hardware devices (storage controllers, network interfaces, and so on), along with known working instances of these devices. [[proc]] == Supported Processors and System Boards This section provides some architecture-specific information about the specific processors and systems that are supported by each architecture. [[proc-amd64]] === 64-bit x86 (amd64) Architecture Support FreeBSD supports the AMD64 ("Hammer") and Intel(R) EM64T architectures. AMD64 (also known as x86-64) is a fully-supported Tier 1 architecture. AMD64 supports all modern x86 processors. This release incorporates optimizations and enhancements to leverage the full capabilities of FreeBSD/amd64-based systems, delivering improved performance across a wide range of workloads. [[proc-i386]] === i386 Architecture Support While FreeBSD continues to evolve and optimize for modern architectures, we are committed to maintaining support for the venerable i386 (x86) architecture in this release. Although i386 hardware is becoming less common, FreeBSD remains a reliable and versatile choice for those who still rely on it, whether for legacy systems or specific use cases. [[proc-arm]] === ARM Architecture Support FreeBSD features robust ARM architecture support, enhancing compatibility and performance across a diverse array of ARM-based devices. [[proc-arm-64]] === 64-bit ARM (aarch64) FreeBSD supports 64-bit ARM (known as arm64 or AArch64) as a Tier-1 architecture. FreeBSD currently supports the following devices: Ampere Computing: * Altra * eMAG Allwinner (64-bit), more info about the support at the link:https://wiki.freebsd.org/arm/Allwinner[Allwinner Wiki page]: * Allwinner A64 SoC * A64-Olinuxino * Orange Pi PC2 * Pine A64 * Pine A64+ * Pine A64+ 2GB * Pine A64-LTS * SOPINE * NanoPi A64 * OrangePi PC2 * NanoPI K1 Plus * Pine H64 * Orange Pi 3 LTS AWS / Annapurna Labs: * Graviton * Graviton 2 * Graviton 3 Raspberry Pi, more info about the support at the link:https://wiki.freebsd.org/arm/Raspberry%20Pi[Raspberry Pi Wiki page]: * Raspberry Pi 3 * Raspberry Pi 4 RockChip (64-bit), more info about the support at the link:https://wiki.freebsd.org/arm/RockChip[RockChip Wiki page]: * RK3328 SoC * RK3399 SoC * NanoPC-T4 * NanoPi R4S * Radxa * Pinebook Pro * Rock64 * RockPro64 Zedboard Zynq 7000 SoC [[proc-arm-32]] === 32-bit ARM (armv6, armv7) FreeBSD currently supports the following devices: Allwinner (32-bit), more info about the support at the link:https://wiki.freebsd.org/arm/Allwinner[Allwinner Wiki page]: * Allwinner A10 SoC * Allwinner A13/R8 SoC * Allwinner A20 SoC * Allwinner A31 & A31s SoC * Allwinner A83T SoC * Allwinner H3 & H2+ SoC * Allwinner H5 SoC * Allwinner H6 SoC * Cubieboard * A10-OlinuXino-Lime * A13-OLinuXino * Banana Pi * CubieBoard 2 * Lamobo R1 * Olimex A20 SOM * PCDuino3 * BananaPi M3 * Orange Pi +2E * OrangePi One * Orange Pi One Lite * Orange Pi PC * Orange Pi Zero * NanoPI NEO NXP i.MX6 (32-bit), more info about the support at the link:https://wiki.freebsd.org/arm/imx6[NXP i.MX6 Wiki page]: * Wandboard * CuBox i * HummingBoard Raspberry Pi, more info about the support at the link:https://wiki.freebsd.org/arm/Raspberry%20Pi[Raspberry Pi Wiki page]: * Raspberry Pi 1 * Raspberry Pi 2 * Raspberry Pi Zero * RPi Zero W [[proc-risc-v]] === RISC-V Architecture Support RISC-V support in FreeBSD represents a significant milestone in the evolution of this open-source operating system. FreeBSD was the first operating system to have bootable in-tree support for RISC-V, underscoring its commitment to embracing emerging hardware architectures. FreeBSD currently supports the following platforms: * HiFive Unleashed (SiFive FU540) * HiFive Unmatched (SiFive FU740) * Spike * QEMU More information about the support at the link:https://wiki.freebsd.org/riscv[RISC-V Wiki page]. [[proc-powerpc]] === PowerPC Architecture Support Many PowerPC platforms are supported, including but not limited to: * Apple PowerMac G4 and later. * IBM POWER4 and later using pseries VM platform. * IBM POWER8 and later bare metal powernv ** Most development done using Raptor TALOS-II * Embedded NXP QorIQ and PowerQUICC III (MPC85XX, Pxxx) ** Tested on AmigaOne X5000 and AmigaOne A1222 // The "Supported Devices" section of the release notes. // Generally processor-independent, with conditional text // inclusion handling any architecture-dependent text. // Within each subsection describing a class of hardware // (i.e. Ethernet interfaces), list broad groups of devices // alphabetically as paragraphs sorted alphabetically (frequently // these groups will be arranged by manufacturer, i.e. 3Com // Ethernet interfaces). // Where applicable, a "Miscellaneous" section may follow all // other named sections. // These guidelines are not hard-and-fast rules, and exceptions // will occur. Following these guidelines (vague as they may be) // is highly recommended to try to keep the formatting of // this section consistent. // We give manpage references using the &man entities where // possible. If a driver has no manpage (and consequently no // &man entity, we simply give the name of the driver). // Please avoid doing &man entity conversions unless you // know for sure that an entity and manpage exist; sweeps through // this file to fix "missed" conversions are likely to break the // build. [[support]] == Supported Devices This section describes the devices currently known to be supported by FreeBSD. Other configurations may also work, but simply have not been tested yet. Feedback, updates, and corrections to this list are encouraged. Where possible, the drivers applicable to each device or class of devices is listed. If the driver in question has a manual page in the FreeBSD base distribution (most should), it is referenced here. Information on specific models of supported devices, controllers, etc. can be found in the manual pages. [NOTE] ==== The device lists in this document are being generated automatically from FreeBSD manual pages. This means that some devices, which are supported by multiple drivers, may appear multiple times. ==== [[disk]] === Disk Controllers [amd64, i386] IDE/ATA controllers (man:ata[4] driver) &hwlist.aac; &hwlist.aacraid; &hwlist.adv; &hwlist.adw; &hwlist.aha; &hwlist.ahc; &hwlist.ahci; &hwlist.ahd; &hwlist.man4.i386/aic; &hwlist.amr; &hwlist.arcmsr; &hwlist.ata; &hwlist.bt; &hwlist.ciss; &hwlist.dpt; [NOTE] ==== [amd64, i386] Booting from these controllers is supported.

This document lists applicable security advisories that were issued since the last release, as well as significant changes to the FreeBSD kernel and userland. Some brief remarks on upgrading are also presented. [[intro]] == Introduction This document contains the release notes for FreeBSD {releaseCurrent}. It describes recently added, changed, or deleted features of FreeBSD. It also provides some notes on upgrading from previous versions of FreeBSD. The {releaseType} distribution to which these release notes apply represents the latest point along the {releaseBranch} development branch since {releaseBranch} was created. Information regarding pre-built, binary {releaseType} distributions along this branch can be found at https://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/[]. The {releaseType} distribution to which these release notes apply represents a point along the {releaseBranch} development branch between {releasePrev} and the future {releaseNext}. Information regarding pre-built, binary {releaseType} distributions along this branch can be found at https://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/[]. This distribution of FreeBSD {releaseCurrent} is a {releaseType} distribution. It can be found at https://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/[] or any of its mirrors. More information on obtaining this (or other) {releaseType} distributions of FreeBSD can be found in the link:{handbook}/mirrors[Obtaining FreeBSD appendix] to the link:{handbook}/[FreeBSD Handbook]. All users are encouraged to consult the release errata before installing FreeBSD. The errata document is updated with "late-breaking" information discovered late in the release cycle or after the release. Typically, it contains information on known bugs, security advisories, and corrections to documentation. An up-to-date copy of the errata for FreeBSD {releaseCurrent} can be found on the FreeBSD Web site. This document describes the most user-visible new or changed features in FreeBSD since {releasePrev}. In general, changes described here are unique to the {releaseBranch} branch unless specifically marked as MERGED features. Typical release note items document recent security advisories issued after {releasePrev}, new drivers or hardware support, new commands or options, major bug fixes, or contributed software upgrades. They may also list changes to major ports/packages or release engineering practices. Clearly the release notes cannot list every single change made to FreeBSD between releases; this document focuses primarily on security advisories, user-visible changes, and major architectural improvements. [[upgrade]] == Upgrading from Previous Releases of FreeBSD Binary upgrades between RELEASE versions (and snapshots of the various security branches) are supported using the man:freebsd-update[8] utility. See the release-specific upgrade procedure, link:../installation/#upgrade-binary[FreeBSD {releaseCurrent} upgrade information], with more details in the FreeBSD handbook link:{handbook}cutting-edge/#freebsdupdate-upgrade[binary upgrade procedure]. This will update unmodified userland utilities, as well as unmodified GENERIC kernels distributed as a part of an official FreeBSD release. The man:freebsd-update[8] utility requires that the host being upgraded have Internet connectivity. Source-based upgrades (those based on recompiling the FreeBSD base system from source code) from previous versions are supported, according to the instructions in [.filename]#/usr/src/UPDATING#. [IMPORTANT] ==== Upgrading FreeBSD should only be attempted after backing up _all_ data and configuration files. ==== [[security-errata]] == Security and Errata This section lists the various Security Advisories and Errata Notices since {releasePrev}.
