As Polytropon suggested, you might ask in freebsd-embedded@freebsd.org where some Atmel-savvy people lurk, though I've not noticed Arduinos mentioned for some time. Warner (cc'd) will surely be up to date. Just asking the search box atop www.freebsd.org 'arduino' returns quite a lot including from forums, but as you say, nothing looks that recent. I had some really great fun writing a pair of cooperating gadgets with 16MHz ATtiny45s using devel/avra, that never made it as far as silicon, but wow, nearly 10 years ago .. so ATmega64 is Really Big Iron to me :) cheers, Ian
