There is no production-ready port yet, but if you'd like to participate in testing - mips2 branch in perforce supports malta boards (theoretically, tested with GXemul), ADM5120-based devices and RouterBoard 532 (IDT 79RC32434 based). -- gonzo From owner-freebsd-embedded@FreeBSD.ORG Fri Feb 15 02:10:03 2008 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-embedded@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 2C24316A420 for ; Fri, 15 Feb 2008 02:10:03 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from karl@denninger.net) Received: from FS.denninger.net (wsip-70-169-168-7.pn.at.cox.net [70.169.168.7]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id D222913C4CC for ; Fri, 15 Feb 2008 02:10:02 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from karl@denninger.net) Received: from [192.168.1.12] (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by FS.denninger.net (8.13.8/8.13.1) with SMTP id m1F1qncL056685 for ; Thu, 14 Feb 2008 19:52:49 -0600 (CST) (envelope-from karl@denninger.net) Received: from [192.168.1.12] [192.168.1.12] by Spamblock-sys (LOCAL); Thu Feb 14 19:52:49 2008 Message-ID: <47B4F072.5090608@denninger.net> Date: Thu, 14 Feb 2008 19:52:50 -0600 From: Karl Denninger User-Agent: Thunderbird 2.0.0.9 (Windows/20071031) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-embedded@freebsd.org, freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Cc: Subject: Via EDEN Chipset?

It is using the VIA EDEN Chipset. I can PXE boot it and get as far as loading the kernel - it goes and gets the ACPI module. It never prints the banner however. But - I do know the code is starting, because it clears the keyboard - so it is definitely beginning execution, and it sets the cursor to a block - so it IS starting up. At that point, however, its mostly "dead" - the keyboard is still active (num and caps toggle properly, but I have no video beyond that point) I'm not sure what I'm looking for here - if I have a machine that is actually up but has had a heart attack with the built-in video (which allegedly is a VGA like thing), or what? It WILL boot and run Windows NT 4 and XP without anything "special", so in theory, I should be able to at least boot FreeBSD on it I'd think..... Anyone tried one of these monsters? Its one of the "mini-ITX" boards.... Would some sort of backtrace help (and if so, any ideas how to get it from HERE?) Sent to both -Questions and -Embedded because its not really an embedded system (it supports a regular IDE hard disk, etc) Thanks in advance. -- Karl Denninger (karl@denninger.net) http://www.denninger.net From owner-freebsd-embedded@FreeBSD.ORG Fri Feb 15 03:59:26 2008 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-embedded@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id AD95E16A41B for ; Fri, 15 Feb 2008 03:59:26 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from karl@denninger.net) Received: from FS.denninger.net (wsip-70-169-168-7.pn.at.cox.net [70.169.168.7]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id E0A8313C442 for ; Fri, 15 Feb 2008 03:59:25 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from karl@denninger.net) Received: from [192.168.1.12] (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by FS.denninger.net (8.13.8/8.13.1) with SMTP id m1F3xN2v053614 for ; Thu, 14 Feb 2008 21:59:23 -0600 (CST) (envelope-from karl@denninger.net) Received: from [192.168.1.12] [192.168.1.12] by Spamblock-sys (LOCAL); Thu Feb 14 21:59:23 2008 Message-ID: <47B50E1B.4000102@denninger.net> Date: Thu, 14 Feb 2008 21:59:23 -0600 From: Karl Denninger User-Agent: Thunderbird 2.0.0.9 (Windows/20071031) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-embedded@freebsd.org Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Subject: VIA EDEN board-based unit X-BeenThere: freebsd-embedded@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Dedicated and Embedded Systems List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Fri, 15 Feb 2008 03:59:26 -0000 I was able to load it successfully off a CD.
