Why there is no ISO-image released? ARM baords are typical ebedded hardware, each board has large differences - there isn't even a GENERIC kernel, because it's simply not possible to have one for all. You need to cross compile an arm system, which isn't much different from a usual buildworld. > If I want to study the source code of freebsd-arm, where can I get it? At the usual places: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mirrors.html The source for all architectures is the same, just look into the arm subdirectories instead of e.g. i386, to see the arm specific code. > There are a lot of arm-core chip such as Samsung S3C2410, Atmel > AT91RM9200, FreeScale i.MX21, etc. Would Freebsd-arm support them > in the future? I know at least support for the AT91RM9200 and some XScale, but there might be more controllers supported. > Who is the maneger of freebsd-arm projects? Could directly contact with > him? There is no single person, although there are a few major persons, such as Warner Losh and Olivier Houchard. You can safely assume that a person not reading this list isn't important for the arm port anyway. -- B.Walter http://www.bwct.de http://www.fizon.de bernd@bwct.de info@bwct.de support@fizon.de
