This is very exciting news. I have two dual and one quad Wandboard waiting for FreeBSD to get installed. Is also bought a dual core MarS-Board, since it has switches for Bootoptions. What is the SMP status anyway? Today I'd used crochet to get some tests done on Beaglebone Black, RasberryPI and Zedboard. So far all booted without problems, just the Raspi needed comconsole setup added. The Zedboard has dual core, but FreeBSD only used one. I also noted that the Beaglebone Black seems to run at 550MHz only. I've found out from NetBSD mailinglist, that the PLL must be reprogrammed for higer frequency and the core voltage needs adjustment too. Of those 3 boards the BBB was the only board mention CPU frequency at all. -- B.Walter http://www.bwct.de Modbus/TCP Ethernet I/O Baugruppen, ARM basierte FreeBSD Rechner uvm.
