This is a list of ongoing projects, or projects that are waiting for volunteers to pick them up.

Kernel

• sun4v: Support for the successor to the sun4u architecture is being worked on (sparc64sun4v)
• Make sure registers %g6 and %g7 are free in all kernel asm code and use them for curlwp/curcpu
• Cleanup locore.s: Locore.s needs a cleanup.
• KGDB: The code for kgdb needs to be fixed back up.
• IOMMU: The iommu code may be a performance bottleneck. This needs to be investigated.

Drivers

Some drivers for hardware found in sparc64 machines are still missing:

• floppy drive (for EBus based machines)
• smart card reader (found in Blade/Netra systems)
• console processor (to allow (a)lom configuration from within NetBSD)

Userland

Currently there are no open userland projects.
