From Markus R. on the Xbox Linux Mailing list:
I just wanted to tell everybody that I am working on a OpenBSD port to the Xbox.
The current status is: Memory management and framebuffer driver are working.
Next thing to do: Integrate the framebuffer driver in a wsdisplay and mount the root fs.
If anybody knows OpenBSD kernel internals, please email me (there is few documentation available and I don't know lots of OpenBSD developers).
If anybody wants to help me, you're welcome.
here's some more info from the official site..
My name is Markus Ritzer, I study computer science at the technical university of munich where I have to do a system development project (in german: SEP, Systementwicklungsprojekt). I asked Michael Steil, the founder of the Xbox linux project (I used Xbox Linux a lot - so I wanted to give something back), if there is something that could be done for the project that I could also use for the project at university. His idea was to port NetBSD, and I started with that, but since January 2007, there is already a port for the Xbox, and so I switched to OpenBSD. The official beginning of my SEP is April 18th, 2007, and the end September 18th, 2007.
