Andrew put up some first instructions : here: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/FreeBSD : : Much information about the hardware can be found in that wiki. We are : currently stuck after loading the kernel because there is no : framebuffer driver (yet) and the uart is not working. : : I'm using qemu right now because I have no hardware yet. Are there instructions for that posted somewhere. Last time I tried to get it going I hit all kinds of snags. : Any idea what to do next? How to get the uart working? And how to tell : the kernel to use it as console? Chances are very good that you'll need more than just the uart. The uart for the samsung devices will need a driver written for it. You'll also need to initialize memory in some way that's unique for this SoC : Many Thanks : Marius : : P.S. Should I have posted this to freebsd-arm? This is radically cool! I'd love to see FreeBSD going on this phone, and would help out as best I can. I was going to buy one, but my cash flow won't allow it until I can sell some real estate :-(. Warner
