FreeBSD/ARM Hardware Notes

-

FreeBSD should work on the i80321 based Intel XScale® - devboards, which includes the IQ31244 and IQ80321 boards. - Support is still minimal, covering only the CPU, PCI-X bus, - em(4) Ethernet adapters, the UART and timer devices.

- -

The i80219 XScale processor is supported, as is the EP80219 - devboard.

- -

The IXP425 is supported, as is the Avila GW2348-4 devboard.

- -

The Atmel AT91RM9200 CPU/Microcontroller range is supported. - Support is provided for the Kwikbyte KB9202 devboard range, the - BWCT board and the Hot-e HL200 thin client device.

- -

Minimal support for the StrongARM 1100 CPU is provided, but - only within the limits of what Simics emulate: CPU, UART and - clock. It is theoretically possible to boot on the Assabet board, - the one Simics emulates; no attempts, successful or unsuccessful, - have been reported.

- -

Additionally, support for the Technologic Systems TS-7200 devboard - is in the works, as is support for the Atmel AT91SAM926x CPU and - the Marvell Orion ARM SoC, the Samsung S3C2XX0 range, and Cirrus - Logic EP93XX CPUs.

+

FreeBSD/arm supports or is working on support for a large range of + ARM CPUs and development boards. Not every peripheral is supported on + every CPU or board, though work continues towards this and contributions + are always welcome. Conversely, many CPUs and boards not listed may + work with only minimal changes needed.

+ +

Listing all supported devices on all CPUs and boards is impractical here, + however much information can be obtained from the mailing list and + archives, the FreeBSD/arm + Wiki pages, and also from the + Kernel + Configuration files

+ +

Note that not all peripherals are supported on all boards.

What Needs To Be Done

SATA support needs to be added.
SATA support needs to be added for boards currently missing it.
Other devices, such as watchdog, i2c and bus should be merged from NetBSD.

What musicians say about FreeBSD/ARM

With FreeBSD/ARM, you can enjoy the silence from running your - (embedded) computer. There's even a song of that name, "Enjoy - The Silence", by Depeche Mode:

All I ever wanted
-All I ever needed
-Is here in my ARMs
-Words are very unnecessary
-They can only do harm
