OpenBSD 7.6 released
- johndoe0815 2y agoThe release notes state "Support for Milk-V Pioneer board", but I can't seem to find the related code in the kernel sources - any hints?
- brynet 2y agoSupport was added to existing drivers for similar hardware, a number of commits mention the Milk-V Pioneer board, I can't comment on how well it is supported, though: https://freshbsd.org/openbsd/src?q=Milk-V https://freshbsd.org/openbsd/src?q=Milk-V
- johndoe0815 2y agoThanks - I was grepping through the kernel sources and could not find any references to the Pioneer, Milk-V or the SG2042 SoC. It makes sense it's mentions in the commit logs instead, especially if the hardware is rather similar to existing supported components... I didn't know about the freshbsd site, nice to have this!
- brynet 2y agoYeah, freshbsd.org is useful for linking to searches publicly, I seem to recall GitHub requiring you to be logged in.
- snvzz 2y agoLikely works fine in UEFI boards, using sbi for uart and timers, as long as the rest of the hardware is relatively standard.

- jmclnx 2y agoThe art is based upon Theseus as mentioned in the email: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_of_Theseus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_of_Theseus which is probably due to this: https://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article;sid=20240824114631 https://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article;sid=20240824114631
- tiffanyh 2y agoOT: does anyone know what the terminology is for the design style of the OpenBSD artwork for v7.6, linked below, where it looks like it was screen printed / water colors (if you zoom in to see the color detail) https://www.openbsd.org/images/LifeIsButADream.jpg https://www.openbsd.org/images/LifeIsButADream.jpg
- cmplxconjugate 2y agoTo my eye it looks like either (silk) screen printed or wood block pressed.
- blueflow 2y agoLithography? Its less a design style, but more the fact that lithography is easier of you only have 3 or 4 colors.
