OpenBSD Announces Retirement of Loongson Hardware Platform Support

The OpenBSD project has officially retired its support for the Loongson hardware platform. Maintenance and development for the Loongson architecture will cease immediately. The decision follows a review of community contributions and hardware relevance. Existing OpenBSD installations on Loongson devices will no longer receive updates. Users are advised to migrate to supported platforms before the end of support. The announcement was posted on the project's news site on July 16, 2026. OpenBSD continues to focus on other architectures such as x86 and ARM. The retirement reflects the project's effort to allocate resources efficiently.
