FreeBSD The Power to Serve

FreeBSD 13.1-RELEASE Hardware Notes

1. Introduction

This document contains the hardware compatibility notes for FreeBSD 13.1. It lists the hardware platforms supported by FreeBSD, as well as the various types of hardware devices (storage controllers, network interfaces, and so on), along with known working instances of these devices.

2. Supported Processors and System Boards

This section provides some architecture-specific information about the specific processors and systems that are supported by each architecture.

2.1. amd64

Since mid-2003 FreeBSD/amd64 has supported the AMD64 ("Hammer") and Intel® EM64T architecture, and is now one of the Tier-1 platforms (fully supported architecture), which are expected to be Production Quality with respects to all aspects of the FreeBSD operating system, including installation and development environments.

Note that there are two names for this architecture, AMD64 (AMD) and Intel EM64T (Extended Memory 64-bit Technology). 64-bit mode of the two architectures are almost compatible with each other, and FreeBSD/amd64 supports them both.

As of this writing, the following processors are supported:

  • AMD Epyc

  • AMD Ryzen

  • AMD Athlon™64 ("Clawhammer").

  • AMD Opteron™ ("Sledgehammer").

  • AMD Sempron™.

  • AMD Turion™.

  • AMD Phenom™.

  • All multi-core Intel® Xeon™ processors except Sossaman have EM64T support.

  • The single-core Intel® Xeon™ processors "Nocona", "Irwindale", "Potomac", and "Cranford" have EM64T support.

  • All Intel® Core™ 2 (not Core™ Duo) and later processors

  • All Intel® Core™ i range of processors

  • All Intel® Pentium® D processors

  • All Intel® Centrino® Duo and Centrino® Pro platforms

  • Intel® Pentium® 4s and Celeron® Ds using the "Cedar Mill" core have EM64T support.

  • Some Intel® Pentium® 4s and Celeron® Ds using the "Prescott" core have EM64T support. See the Intel Processor Spec Finder for the definitive answer about EM64T support in Intel processors.

Intel® EM64T is an extended version of IA-32 (x86) and different from Intel® IA-64 (Itanium) architecture. Some of Intel®'s old documentation refers to Intel® EM64T as "64-bit extension technology" or "IA-32e".

Both Uniprocessor (UP) and Symmetric Multi-processor (SMP) configurations are supported.

In many respects, FreeBSD/amd64 is similar to FreeBSD/i386, in terms of drivers supported. Generally, drivers that already function correctly on other 64-bit platforms should work.

2.2. i386

FreeBSD/i386 runs on a wide variety of "IBM PC compatible" machines. Due to the wide range of hardware available for this architecture, it is impossible to exhaustively list all combinations of equipment supported by FreeBSD. Nevertheless, some general guidelines are presented here.

Almost all i386™-compatible processors with a floating point unit are supported. All Intel® processors beginning with the 80486 are supported, including the 80486, Pentium®, Pentium® Pro, Pentium® II, Pentium® III, Pentium® 4, and variants thereof, such as the Xeon™ and Celeron® processors. All i386™-compatible AMD processors are also supported, including the Am486®, Am5x86®, K5, AMD-K6® (and variants), AMD Athlon™ (including Athlon-MP, Athlon-XP, Athlon-4, and Athlon Thunderbird), and AMD Duron™ processors. The AMD Élan SC520 embedded processor is supported. The Transmeta Crusoe is recognized and supported, as are i386™-compatible processors from Cyrix and NexGen.

There is a wide variety of motherboards available for this architecture. Motherboards using the ISA, VLB, EISA, AGP, and PCI expansion buses are well-supported. There is some limited support for the MCA ("MicroChannel") expansion bus used in the IBM PS/2 line of PCs.

Symmetric multi-processor (SMP) systems are generally supported by FreeBSD, although in some cases, BIOS or motherboard bugs may generate some problems. Perusal of the archives of the link:{freebsd-smp} may yield some clues.

FreeBSD will take advantage of SMT (Symmetric MultiThreading, also known as HyperThreading on Intel® CPUs) on the supported CPUs. The GENERIC kernel which is installed by default will automatically detect the additional logical processors. The default FreeBSD scheduler recognizes processor topology on the system and selects logical and physical processors to obtain optimal performance. The smp(4) manual page has more details.

FreeBSD will take advantage of Physical Address Extensions (PAE) support on CPUs that support this feature. A kernel with the PAE feature enabled will detect memory above 4 gigabytes and allow it to be used by the system. This feature places constraints on the device drivers and other features of FreeBSD which may be used; consult the pae(4) manual page for more details.

FreeBSD will generally run on i386-based laptops, albeit with varying levels of support for certain hardware features such as sound, graphics, power management, and PCCARD expansion slots. These features tend to vary in idiosyncratic ways between machines, and frequently require special-case support in FreeBSD to work around hardware bugs or other oddities.

Most modern laptops (as well as many desktops) use the Advanced Configuration and Power Management (ACPI) standard. FreeBSD supports ACPI via the ACPI Component Architecture reference implementation from Intel®, as described in the acpi(4) manual page. The use of ACPI causes instabilities on some machines and it may be necessary to disable the ACPI driver, which is normally loaded via a kernel module. This may be accomplished by adding the following line to /boot/device.hints:

hint.acpi.0.disabled="1"

Users debugging ACPI-related problems may find it useful to disable portions of the ACPI functionality. The acpi(4) manual page has more information on how to do this via loader tunables.

ACPI depends on a Differentiated System Descriptor Table (DSDT) provided by each machine’s BIOS. Some machines have bad or incomplete DSDTs, which prevents ACPI from functioning correctly. Replacement DSDTs for some machines can be found at the DSDT section of the ACPI4Linux project Web site. FreeBSD can use these DSDTs to override the DSDT provided by the BIOS; see the acpi(4) manual page for more information.

2.3. powerpc

All Apple PowerPC machines with built-in USB are supported, as well a limited selection of non-Apple machines, including KVM on POWER7

SMP is supported on all systems with more than 1 processor.

3. Supported Devices

This section describes the devices currently known to be supported by FreeBSD. 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.

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.

The ahci driver supports AHCI compatible controllers having PCI class 1 (mass storage), subclass 6 (SATA) and programming interface 1 (AHCI).

Also, in cooperation with atamarvell and atajmicron drivers of ata(4), it supports AHCI part of legacy-PATA + AHCI-SATA combined controllers, such as JMicron JMB36x and Marvell 88SE61xx.

The ahci driver also supports AHCI devices that act as PCI bridges for nvme(4) using Intel Rapid Storage Technology (RST). To use the nvme(4) device, either one must set the SATA mode in the BIOS to AHCI (from RST), or one must accept the performance with RST enabled due to interrupt sharing. FreeBSD will automatically detect AHCI devices with this extension that are in RST mode. When that happens, ahci will attach nvme(4) children to the ahci(4) device.

The ahd driver supports the following:

  • Adaptec AIC7901 host adapter chip

  • Adaptec AIC7901A host adapter chip
