I have been thinking of a private hobby project, to try to implement FreeBSD on a palmtop based upon a version of the xscale processor. I have several good reasons to try this. Currently, there is a version of Linux running on it, so I expect not to have too hard a job of getting it booted, but I haven't really tracked FreeBSD, from a very lo-level standpoint, since FreeBSD-2.2 ... I don't know if FreeBSD remains a good platform for such and item or not. The image has to be, roughly speaking, capabable of running in a 64 Megabyte memory footprint. The spacific machine in my mind is the Zaurus. Am I talking to a bad spot here, abusing the list? Is there a better place to try to launch off this subject? I would like to see if anyone else wants to chat about it. I'm not yet looking for any help on it, I'm not sure it;s a really big enough job for that, but I would like to jaw a bit, if you catch my drift. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include C & Java programming, FreeBSD, chuckr@chuckr.org | electronics, communications, and SF/Fantasy.
