  <h3><a name="intro">Introduction</a></h3>

  <p>This page contains information about the FreeBSD port to Fujitsu's
    SPARC64&reg; and Oracle's UltraSPARC&reg; architectures.
    Discussion of this port takes
    place on the
    <a href="https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-sparc64">freebsd-sparc</a>
    mailing list.</p>

  <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 feature-complete as the i386 or amd64 ports.</p>

  <h3><a name="hw">Hardware List</a></h3>

  <p>A summary of supported systems follows.  SMP is supported on all supported
    systems that contain more than 1 processor.  For full details, please see
    the
    <a href="&base;/releases/&rel.current;R/hardware.html">
    hardware notes</a> of the <a href="&base;/releases/">
    release</a> you are using.</p>

  <p>These 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>

    <li>Sun Enterprise 3500</li>
    <li>Sun Enterprise 4500</li>
  </ul>

  <p>Starting with 7.2-RELEASE, sparc64 systems based on
    Sun UltraSPARC III and beyond are also supported by FreeBSD, which includes
    these known working systems:</p>

  <ul>
