The existing support in the tree was more than enough to get me going, only had to write drivers for some of the internal peripherals found on the PXA255 (MMC, SPI, I2C etc.). This was relatively easy because the hardware was fully documented and I could flash a new bootloader (u-boot) that played nicely with FreeBSD.
