Thank you for the detailed answer! > Get yourself an rpi3 or 4 (or beaglebone black for armv7) and run obsd > on those instead. I've a lot of rpi1b+, so I want to use them. (For example, give it to my friends with enabled ssh reverse proxy or with configured httpd.) вс, 15 февр. 2026 г. в 11:06, Janne Johansson <[email protected]>: > > Den lör 14 feb. 2026 kl 23:33 skrev evily <[email protected]>: > > > > Is it possible to install OpenBSD on Raspberry Pi 1B+? > > > > If it was, it would be listed at > https://www.openbsd.org/armv7.html > and it's not. > > The rpi1 and 2 were not 64-bit capable, and obsd devs spend little to > zero time on getting new 32bit arches supported, because the > limitations they have. > There is a certain amount of problems where newly created 32bit arches > need modern compilers because no one made gcc3/4 work for them, but > also they are so small in terms of cpu and memory that you basically > can't run clang/llvm native on them without lots of issues, apart from > taking ages.
