Commercial Hardware
This is a listing of vendors who provide commercial hardware with specific support for NetBSD. A wide variety of commercial hardware runs NetBSD itself; this page is for products that specifically support NetBSD.
There are also pages for commercial software products for NetBSD and preinstalled NetBSD systems.
According to Simtec, the "StrongARM 110 Evaluation Board" is based on Intel's 21281 SA110 StrongARM processor and 21285 support chip, along with Acer Labs' M1543c southbridge chip. It supports up to 256MB onboard SDRAM, and its integrated I/O includes dual IDE, USB host interface, and serial and parallel ports; plus, it offers three PCI and three ISA slots for further system expansion.

Team ASA, Inc. designs and develops high-speed networking communications solutions for the Networking and Storage industry.
The Npwr single board computers are designed for manufacturers and OEMs in the Network Attached Storage (NAS), RAID, iSCSI and Personal Server marketplaces. They are powered by the Intel XScale 64 bit RISC processor with clock rates reaching as high as 733 MHz.
The Npwr boards include a
- Intel XScale 80200 with 80312 Companion Chip (466, 600, and 733 MHz)
- 128-512 Megabytes SDRAM
- a 4 (32 opt.) Mbyte Flash ROM,
- Real Time Clock
- 19 Bit External Timer / Counter
- Dual Gbit Ethernet interface
- a high performance 320/160 Mbyte/s, PCI 64 bit wide SCSI interface.
The Npwr form factor takes only a half height 5.25 slot on any external box or CPU case. The Npwr can be used as a stand-alone NetBSD or Linux server and an embedded RAID controller. Multiple units can be used to implement Linux clustered servers. Other Npwr applications include iSCSI controller, NAS Controller and Firewall/Router.
The newest model, Npwr-FC, will be available at the end of 2002 and will allow to connect storage area networks with iSCSI via TCP/IP.
It will include
- Intel XScale 80321 (up to 600 Mhz)
- Dual Fibre Channel ports
- four Serial ATA ports
- Dual Gigabit Ethernet ports
- 8-32 Mbytes of FLASH ROM
- 256-1024 Mbytes of DDR SDRAM
- NetBSD or Linux CDROM with tools, documentation and sources
Npwr Server is a small self-enclosed Network Attached Storage (NAS) server that supports SMB, Appleshare IP, Appletalk and NFS. Specifications are similar to the Npwr SBC. It also includes a LVD SCSI hard disk (10, 30 or 60GB).
If you know of any other companies that have products they support that run on any NetBSD port, please notify us so we can include them in this web page.
