I'm wondering if anybody knows of work being done to port FreeBSD to the Layerscape platforms? I happen to have a SolidRun HoneyComb LX2K workstation, based on NXP's Layerscape LX2160A, next to my desk running a custom-multistrapped Debian Jessie build, but would love to get FreeBSD running instead. I have only minimal experience working down in BSD driver/kernel land and no experience at all with Crochet, but would like to learn. And while I cannot afford to donate the actual hardware I'm happy to work with others to test builds. Fortunately SolidRun provides the full DeviceTree and firmware sources in GitHub: https://github.com/SolidRun/lx2160a_build And some documentation about the board from their main website: https://developer.solid-run.com/knowledge-base/honeycomb-lx2k/ https://developer.solid-run.com/knowledge-base/lx2160a-cex7-user-manual/ https://developer.solid-run.com/knowledge-base/freebsd/ Given how much information and source SolidRun has provided this might be a very simple build and bootstrap process - I just have no idea where to begin. SolidRun has some documentation on building for their Armada A38x micro-SOMs: https://developer.solid-run.com/knowledge-base/freebsd/ Unforunately that relies on KERNCONF=ARMADA38X and I think that's going to miss support for all the nicest parts of the Layerscape 2160X.
