The A13 is supposedly a stripped down A10 which is (sort of) supported by the armv7 port, so at least there is mild promise. This definitely won’t work out of the box. On May 8, 2015, at 2:54 PM, William A. Mahaffey III wrote: > On 05/08/15 13:28, Tobias Ulmer wrote: >> On Fri, May 08, 2015 at

The rPi2 is quite nice, but its USB controller is utterly disgusting (dwc2). That one is also used in the Octeon (MIPS) and ODROID-C1. I haven’t gotten it to work properly yet. The ODROID-C1 has some good peripherals, including Gigabit Ethernet. In the end none of them are supported in OpenBSD.
