Some quick news on NetBSD

My blog is quite silent lately but it doesn’t mean that nothing happens in NetBSD world.

5.1.5 and 5.2.3 security and bug-fix updates were released in the November last year for 5.1 and 5.2 branches. More information can be found here. If you are using these branches, it is strongly recommended to update to the latest releases. After release of upcoming 7.0 version these branches won’t be supported anymore.

Lots of news coming about support of new boards (ARM and MIPS) and improvements for them lately:
Initial support Xilinx Zync (dual core Cortex-A9) based ZedBoard and Parallella boards.
Hardware accelaration for Broadcom VideoCore IV GPU used in Raspberry PI.
Support for MIPS Creator CI20 (Ingenic JZ478 SoC with dual core MIPS32 cores and PowerVR SGX540 GPU) board reaches userland.
Raspberry PI 2 (quad core Cortex-A7) support.
Hardkernel ODROID-C1 support (quad core Cortex-A5). First board with Cortex-A5.
Finally a work have been done on APC8750 board (ARM926EJ-S) support. Though it is not the official source tree currently.
