The Acer C720 Chromebook is an affordable (under $200) and + powerful little laptop, that provides a battery life of up to six + hours running FreeBSD. It is a great machine for travelling and + coding in general. The machine is fully functional, meaning that + all essential devices work: Keyboard, trackpad, light sensor, + backlight control, display in VESA mode (fast), external Display + on HDMI (only VESA mirror mode), sound, USB ports, SD card slot, + camera and Atheros Wireless.

+ +

This quarter, this project extended previous work on the + boot process and keyboard driver as well as the smbus(4) driver. + It added three new drivers: ig4(4), cyapa(4) and isl(4).

+ +

Much of the development was originally done in late 2014; + since then, the patches have been massively improved and merged + into CURRENT, so that all relevant devices work without manual + patching.

+ +

For those who are unable to run CURRENT, there is a + backported patch to 10.2-RELEASE.

+ +

Thanks to everyone who helped in the process, I couldn't + have done it without you (you know who you are). +
