NetBSD status:

32bit:
- earm : support OLD hardware
   - RaspberryPi can build hpcarm pkgsrc
   - check hpcarm/more older hardware as StrongARM/Xscale age.

- earmv6hf: support RaspberryPi
   - for RaspberryPi1,2,2-1.2,3,3B+ 
   - NetBSD current

   - NetBSD 8
     http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-arm/2018/07/22/msg004963.html

- earmv7hf: 
   - for RaspberryPi2-1.2,3,3B+
   - BananaPi/OrangePI to Jetson TK1

64bit:
 aarch64
   - for RaspberryPi2-1.2,3,3B+
   - BananaPi/OrangePI to Jetson TK1

Operating: Just like AWS instance,
0. maintain pkgsrc package build.
1. copy recent system to microSD
2. ansible/puppeted
