There are a couple of TODO list items (and one or two not on the list) that= strike my fancy: 1) USB support. The list says "a driver using the simple exec was committed= , but". I suspect the "but" it "but it doesn't work. 2) Ehternet support. Also apparently broken, although I know little about E= NET and PHYs and such. We do have people here who do though. 3) FDT. This is something I expect to be actively working on in the immedia= te future. Other than JC's work on XLP, is there any action here? 4) General SoC/Chip/Platform cleanup. This is something I always like worki= ng on, although given my new-ness to FreeBSD perhaps not a best choice? 5) Another Octeon bootstrap. When I initially discussed my bootstrap/bootin= fo changes, there was some thought about offering up my bootstrap. It's kin= d of specific-purpose, but there are parts that could be adapted into a nic= e embedded Octeon bootstrap platform. ...................................
