I have donated four of these to various guys on the FreeBSD list a few months ago. Not sure is any of them have had the time to play with the hardware yet. We have Linux and WinCE 6 running perfectly on this hardware, I would like to see FreeBSD running on it also :) The Bootloader is u-boot and we either boot the operating system from NAND Flash or tftp a image file containing the Kernel and root filesystem over the network. We have shrunk the Linux filesystem down to around 8 MB. The hardware specifications are, Atmel AT91SAM9G20 400Mhz Arm ProcessorDisplay Silicon Motion SM502 or SM107 Analog VGA Output up to 1280x1024 Serial Dataflash chip for u-boot SDRAM – 64MB NAND Flash Memory 128MB Audio – Wolfson WM8731l – 16bit, 48KHz Stereo Headphone Out, Line out, Biased Microphone In Ethernet – 10/100 Mbs 2 x USB 2.0 Full Speed Host Ports Debug header on PCB USB Device header on PCB 5VDC Power We will port our Video driver to FreeBSD, so you don't need to worry about Video support. We have written a accelerated 2D Xorg driver which talks to the Video chip through a Kernel Frame Buffer driver. The performance is about three times faster than the non accelerated Silicon Motion Linux SM502 / SM107 kernel FB Driver John
