Before I get boards the only reasonable thing for me to do is to get as much out of existing tree to see how it can be ported, but no actual work. Please be careful - there is no such a thing like Cortex A13. A13 is just a marketing name Allwinner gave to their product. And I believe CHIP put Allwinner R8 on their board (normally in ARM nomenclature, R=for deeply embedded devices, A=for applications, but again, it is Allwinner so you can expect anything from their naming convention). However R8 is indeed equipped with Cortex A8 core, for which I believe some work has been done - see Allwinner A20 in repo - it has the same core if my memory serves right (it is even pin compatible with single core Allwinner A10 -> again Cortex A8 :) Kris On 02/11/16 01:07, Werner Thie wrote: > Hi all > > is there any interest or work going on making FreeBSD available on the > $9 CHIP from nextthing.co? > > Basically it's a Cortex A13, 1GHz ARM V7A with 512MB RAM, NAND flash > and a slew of peripherals, the datasheet can be found on > > https://linux-sunxi.org/images/e/eb/A13_Datasheet.pdf > > Werner > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-arm@freebsd.org mailing list > https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-arm > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-arm-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
