OpenBSD has radeondrm enabled on mips64, powerpc and arm64. It can initialize the board just fine without emulating x86, since KMS. Working 3D acceleration is another story.

OpenBSD even has (or had, build breaks often) packages for chromium browser on arm64 that were tested on this.



> Working 3D acceleration is another story

Why? I recently enabled amdgpu on FreeBSD arm64 — as soon as KMS happened, 3D just worked. There was some buffer corruption (https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/208340/60443774-97...) for which I've had to cherry-pick this tiny Linux patch: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10778815/

And we have Firefox, which doesn't break, has a working JS JIT, works on Wayland, renders with WebRender :)
