--- title: "FreeBSD/ia64 6.1-RELEASE Hardware Notes" sidenav: download --- ++++
Copyright © 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 The FreeBSD Documentation Project
This is a preliminary document. It is incomplete, and in need of additional content. Please send additional information on IA-64 processors, motherboards, and various devices working on FreeBSD to the FreeBSD IA64 porting mailing list.
This document contains the hardware compatibility notes for FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE on the IA-64 hardware platform (also referred to as FreeBSD/ia64 6.1-RELEASE). It lists devices known to work on this platform, as well as some notes on boot-time kernel customization that may be useful when attempting to configure support for new devices.
Note: This document includes information specific to the IA-64 hardware platform. Versions of the hardware compatibility notes for other architectures will differ in some details.
More information on FreeBSD/ia64 is contained on the FreeBSD/ia64 Project page.
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.
This section describes the devices currently known to be supported by with FreeBSD on the IA-64 platform. Other configurations may also work, but simply have not been tested yet. Feedback, updates, and corrections to this list are encouraged.
Where possible, the drivers applicable to each device or class of devices is listed. If the driver in question has a manual page in the FreeBSD base distribution (most should), it is referenced here. Information on specific models of supported devices, controllers, etc. can be found in the manual pages.
Note: The device lists in this document are being generated automatically from FreeBSD manual pages. This means that some devices, which are supported by multiple drivers, may appear multiple times.

Both the 3C656 family of CardBus cards and the 3C556 family of MiniPCI cards have a built-in proprietary modem. Neither the xl(4) driver nor any other driver supports this modem.
The uart(4) driver supports the following classes of UARTs:
NS8250: standard hardware based on the 8250, 16450, 16550, 16650, 16750 or the 16950 UARTs
SAB82532: Siemens SAB 82532 based serial communications controllers in asynchronuous mode.
Z8530: Zilog 8530 based serial communications controllers in asynchronuous mode.
PCI-Based multi-port serial boards ( puc(4) driver)
Diva Serial (GSP) Multiport UART
A range of USB peripherals are supported; devices known to work are listed in this section. Owing to the generic nature of most USB devices, with some exceptions any device of a given class will be supported, even if not explicitly listed here.
Note: USB Ethernet adapters can be found in the section listing Ethernet interfaces.
Note: USB Bluetooth adapters can be found in Bluetooth section.
