      3 NetBSD Ports Roadmap
      4 ====================
      5 
      6 This roadmap covers ports and port-specific issues, and also bus-level
      7 material even if it's not strictly port-specific.
      8 
      9 The following elements, projects, and goals are not strategic
     10 priorities but are still important undertakings worth doing:
     11 
     12  1. riscv and/or or1k ports
     13  2. cheri port
     14 
     15 The following elements, projects, and goals are perhaps less pressing;
     16 this doesn't mean one shouldn't work on them but the expected payoff

     22 Explanations
     23 ============
     24 
     25  1. riscv and/or or1k ports
     26 
     27 We have some riscv code and a bit of or1k code, but neither is done.
     28 
     29  - As of January 2017 nobody is known to be working on this.
     30  - There is currently no clear timeframe or release target.
     31  - Contact matt@ for further information.

     33 
     34  2. cheri port
     35 
     36 http://cheri-cpu.org
     37 There are a number of reasons to tackle this; it will serve as a code
     38 quality lever. Also there's already a FreeBSD port to steal from.
