Such experiments was tried by me and others in August; I got framebuffer worked in rca/hdmi; usb not saw any of my mices/keyboards; ethernet worked, but produced hangs ( which render device useless).I hope this help :) Regards, Alexander Yerenkow 07.11.2012 18:01 =D0=CF=CC=D8=DA=CF=D7=C1=D4=C5=CC=D8 "Tim Kientzle" <kient= zle@freebsd.org> =CE=C1=D0=C9=D3=C1=CC: > WARNING: This is still highly experimental and by no > means ready for "production use", but some folks might > find it interesting. > > To boot FreeBSD on your RaspberryPi, you'll need: > 1) A RaspberryPi. > 2) A serial cable similar to this one: www.adafruit.com/products/954 > 3) An SD card of 2GB or larger > > Download this 111MB file (~1.6G uncompressed): > > http://people.freebsd.org/~kientzle/FreeBSD-RPI-B-r242362-2012-10-30.img.= xz > > Uncompress it, dd it onto your SD card, pop it in and apply power. > (The serial cable above can also provide power; just leave the red > lead disconnected until you get the SD card plugged in.) > > > KNOWN BROKEN STUFF > > * There's no framebuffer/syscons yet.
