NetBSD is a versatile and highly portable operating system that supports a range of hardware architectures. As of my last update, here are the primary architectures supported by NetBSD:
x86 (i386): This includes both 32-bit and 64-bit variants. The 32-bit version is often referred to as i386, while the 64-bit version is known as x86_64 or amd64.
ARM: NetBSD supports various ARM architectures, including ARMv7 and ARMv8 (64-bit).
MIPS: This includes support for MIPS I, II, III, and IV architectures, and both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.
PowerPC: This includes support for several PowerPC variants, including 32-bit and 64-bit versions.
RISC-V: An open-source hardware architecture that NetBSD supports, particularly the 64-bit versions.
MIPS: This includes support for both 32-bit and 64-bit SPARC architectures.
VAX: Although it is an older architecture, NetBSD still provides support for VAX systems.
Sh3 and Sh4: These are variants of the SuperH architecture.
Support for these architectures is maintained through a combination of community contributions, developer efforts, and ongoing updates. Here’s how support is typically maintained:
- Community Contributions**: NetBSD benefits from a strong community of developers and users who contribute patches, enhancements, and new drivers for various
