Hi,

I am trying to add support for the Intel SS4000-E/EM7210 to FreeBSD, I
have copied all of the files for the EP80219 as this seems to be what
the board is based on, and modified the interrupt assignment code.  See
the patch agains sys/arm here: http://www.tomjudge.com/tmp/em-7210-patch

I am also having trouble with loading the kernel at the default
location, (instructions from here: http://wiki.freebsd.org/FreeBSDAvila)
as RedBoot reports that there is no memory at the load address.

Currently when I try to load this kernel at the phys address using
reboot and try to run the kernel I get nothing outputed on the console.
I used the phys address from the addresses that the linux kernel is
loaded into out of flash. (see output below)

Could someone please give me some hints on what I am doing wrong and
need to change?  The board is currently supported by the Linux kernel
(as the em7210.c) so I was hoping that adding support to FreeBSD would
not be difficult.

More information about the system can be found here:
http://em7210.kwaak.net/

Thanks in advance for any help,

Tom
