1. Introduction

This document contains the hardware compatibility notes for -FreeBSD 10.0-RELEASE. It lists the hardware platforms supported by -FreeBSD, as well as the various types of hardware devices (storage -controllers, network interfaces, and so on), along with known -working instances of these devices.

2. Supported Processors and -System Boards

This section provides some architecture-specific information -about the specific processors and systems that are supported by -each architecture. -

2.1. amd64

Since mid-2003 FreeBSD/amd64 has supported the AMD64 -(“Hammer”) and Intel® EM64T architecture, and is now one of the -Tier-1 platforms (fully supported architecture), which are expected -to be Production Quality with respects to all aspects of the -FreeBSD operating system, including installation and development -environments. -

Note that there are two names for this architecture, AMD64 (AMD) -and Intel EM64T (Extended Memory 64-bit Technology). 64-bit mode of -the two architectures are almost compatible with each other, and -FreeBSD/amd64 should support them both. -

As of this writing, the following processors are supported: -

-
AMD Athlon™64 -(“Clawhammer”). -
-
AMD Opteron™ -(“Sledgehammer”). -
-
All multi-core Intel® -Xeon™ processors except -Sossaman have EM64T support. -
-
The single-core Intel® -Xeon™ processors “Nocona”, -“Irwindale”, “Potomac”, -and “Cranford” have EM64T support. -
-
All Intel® Core 2 (not Core Duo) -and later processors -
-
All Intel® Pentium® D processors -
-
Intel® Pentium® 4s and Celeron Ds using the -“Cedar -Mill” core have EM64T support. -
-
Some Intel® Pentium® 4s and Celeron Ds using the -“Prescott” core have EM64T support. See -the Intel Processor Spec Finder for the definitive answer -about EM64T support in Intel processors.

Intel® EM64T is an extended -version of IA-32 (x86) and different from Intel® IA-64 (Itanium) architecture, which -FreeBSD/ia64 supports. Some Intel®'s -old documentation refers to Intel® -EM64T as “64-bit -extension technology” or “IA-32e”. -

Both Uniprocessor (UP) and Symmetric Multi-processor (SMP) -configurations are supported. -

In many respects, FreeBSD/amd64 is similar to FreeBSD/i386, in -terms of drivers supported. Generally, drivers that already -function correctly on other 64-bit platforms should work.

2.2. i386

FreeBSD/i386 runs on a wide variety of “IBM PC -compatible” machines. Due to the wide range of -hardware available for this architecture, it is impossible to -exhaustively list all combinations of equipment supported by -FreeBSD. Nevertheless, some general guidelines are presented here. -

Almost all i386™-compatible -processors with a floating point unit are supported. All -Intel® processors beginning with the -80486 are supported, including the 80486, Pentium®, Pentium® Pro, Pentium® II, Pentium® III, Pentium® 4, and variants thereof, such as the -Xeon™ and Celeron® processors. All i386™-compatible AMD processors are also -supported, including the Am486®, -Am5x86®, K5, AMD-K6® (and variants), AMD Athlon™ (including Athlon-MP, -Athlon-XP, Athlon-4, and Athlon Thunderbird), and AMD Duron™ processors. The AMD Élan -SC520 embedded processor is supported. The Transmeta Crusoe is -recognized and supported, as are i386™-compatible processors from Cyrix and -NexGen. -

There is a wide variety of motherboards available for this -architecture. Motherboards using the ISA, VLB, EISA, AGP, and PCI -expansion buses are well-supported. There is some limited support -for the MCA (“MicroChannel”) expansion bus used in -the IBM PS/2 line of PCs. -

Symmetric multi-processor (SMP) systems are generally supported -by FreeBSD, although in some cases, BIOS or motherboard bugs may -generate some problems. Perusal of the archives of the FreeBSD symmetric multiprocessing mailing list -may yield some clues. -

FreeBSD will take advantage of SMT (Symmetric MultiThreading, -also known as HyperThreading on Intel® CPUs) on the supported CPUs. The -GENERIC kernel which is installed by -default will automatically detect the additional logical -processors. The default FreeBSD scheduler recognizes processor -topology on the system and selects logical and physical processors -to obtain optimal performance. The -smp(4) manual page -has more details. -

FreeBSD will take advantage of Physical Address Extensions (PAE) -support on CPUs that support this feature. A kernel with the -PAE feature enabled will detect memory -above 4 gigabytes and allow it to be used by the system. This -feature places constraints on the device drivers and other features -of FreeBSD which may be used; consult the -pae(4) manual page -for more details. -

FreeBSD will generally run on i386-based laptops, albeit with -varying levels of support for certain hardware features such as -sound, graphics, power management, and PCCARD expansion slots. -These features tend to vary in idiosyncratic ways between machines, -and frequently require special-case support in FreeBSD to work -around hardware bugs or other oddities. When in doubt, a search of -the archives of the FreeBSD laptop computer mailing list may be useful. -

Most modern laptops (as well as many desktops) use the Advanced -Configuration and Power Management (ACPI) standard. FreeBSD -supports ACPI via the ACPI Component Architecture reference -implementation from Intel®, as -described in the -acpi(4) manual page. -The use of ACPI causes instabilities on some machines and it may be -necessary to disable the ACPI driver, which is normally loaded via -a kernel module. This may be accomplished by adding the following -line to /boot/device.hints: -

-hint.acpi.0.disabled="1"
-

Users debugging ACPI-related problems may find it useful to -disable portions of the ACPI functionality. The -acpi(4) manual page -has more information on how to do this via loader tunables. -

ACPI depends on a Differentiated System Descriptor Table (DSDT) -provided by each machine's BIOS. Some machines have bad or -incomplete DSDTs, which prevents ACPI from functioning correctly. -Replacement DSDTs for some machines can be found at the DSDT section of the ACPI4Linux project -Web site. FreeBSD can use these DSDTs to override the DSDT provided -by the BIOS; see the -acpi(4) manual page -for more information.

2.3. ia64

Currently supported processors are the Itanium® and the -Itanium® 2. -

Supported chipsets include: -

-
HP zx1 -
-
Intel® 460GX -
-
Intel® E8870

Both Uniprocessor (UP) and Symmetric Multi-processor (SMP) -configurations are supported. -

Most devices that can be found in or are compatible with ia64 -machines are fully supported. The notable exception is the VGA -console. The FreeBSD support for VGA consoles is at this time too -much based on PC hardware and not all ia64 machines have chipsets -that provide sufficient PC legacy support. As such -syscons(4) can not be -enabled and the use of a serial console is required.

2.4. pc98

NEC PC-9801/9821 series with almost all i386™-compatible processors, including -80486, Pentium®, Pentium® Pro, Pentium® II, and variants. All i386™-compatible processors by AMD, Cyrix, -IBM, and IDT are also supported. -

NEC FC-9801/9821 series, and NEC SV-98 series (both of them are -compatible with PC-9801/9821 series) should be supported. -

EPSON PC-386/486/586 series, which are compatible with NEC -PC-9801 series are supported. -

High-resolution mode is not supported. NEC PC-98XA/XL/RL/XL^2, -and NEC PC-H98 series are supported in normal (PC-9801 compatible) -mode only. -

Although there are some multi-processor systems (such as -Rs20/B20), SMP-related features of FreeBSD are not supported yet. -

PC-9801/9821 standard bus (called C-Bus), PC-9801NOTE expansion -bus (110pin), and PCI bus are supported. New Extend Standard -Architecture (NESA) bus (used in PC-H98, SV-H98, and FC-H98 series) -is not supported.

2.5. powerpc

All Apple PowerPC machines with built-in USB are supported, as -well a limited selection of non-Apple machines, including KVM on -POWER7 -

SMP is supported on all systems with more than 1 -processor.

2.6. sparc64

This section describes the systems currently known to be -supported by FreeBSD on the Fujitsu SPARC64® and Sun UltraSPARC® platforms. -

SMP is supported on all systems with more than 1 processor. -

When using the GENERIC kernel, -FreeBSD/sparc64 systems not equipped with a framebuffer supported -by the -creator(4) (Sun -Creator, Sun Creator3D and Sun Elite3D) or -machfb(4) (Sun PGX -and Sun PGX64 as well as the ATI Mach64 chips found onboard in for -example Sun Blade™ 100, -Sun Blade™ 150, -Sun Ultra™ 5 and -Sun Ultra™ 10) driver -must use the serial console. -

If you have a system that is not listed here, it may not have -been tested with FreeBSD 10.0-RELEASE. We encourage you to try it -and send a note to the FreeBSD SPARC porting mailing list with your results, -including which devices work and which do not. -
