When I start to make NetBSD image for RPI,
I got so many good feedbacks then any other 
hardwares(earmv7/i386/amd64/dreamcast/zaurus/...).

For NetBSD,armv6 RPI board can make armv5/armv6/armv7 images.
NetBSD still support armv5 era.

armv5: still boot!
armv6: rust can't build because luck of support.omxplayer works.
armv7: rust works,but firefox build failed.omxplayer works.
aarch64: rust works and firefox works fine.and apple-m1 compatible.
         omxplayer can't works.
