These are all AT91 specific, although I'm sure someone could tease out the more generally useful bits (like SD/MMC or xmodem goo). For the moment, I've disabled installing them because they were winding up in /, which is clearly wrong. What's the best way to install these? (a) Never install or build (b) Only install when the specific sub-port is built (might be hard since buildworld has no knowledge of the sub-port). (c) Install them into /boot/at91_foo? (d) Install them into /boot/at91/foo? I'm leaning towards (a) or (c) (c more heavily).

Anybody care to comment? We are looking at ways to build a 3 radio wifi system and have been wondering if I can consider an arm system and how much work will have to be done. We have been using Soekris and Wrap boards for a long time, so I am used to the small i386 part of FreeBSD. One of the boards I have been looking at is the Gateworks 2348, which is a 533MHz IXP425 with 64M Ram, 4 x Mini-pci slots and a CF Socket. http://www.gateworks.com/avila_gw2348_4.htm So will I be able to just use it or how much work will still have to be done and on which parts? Thanks.

So far the PCI bus works, and hopefully the embedded ethernet controller will work soon, too. Other things on the board such as the i2c bus isn't supported yet, but if you need it it shouldn't be too hard to get it. Regards, Olivier
