: I'm using qemu right now because I have no hardware yet.
Are there instructions for that posted somewhere. Last time I tried
to get it going I hit all kinds of snags.
: Any idea what to do next? How to get the uart working? And how to tell
: the kernel to use it as console?
Chances are very good that you'll need more than just the uart. The
uart for the samsung devices will need a driver written for it.
You'll also need to initialize memory in some way that's unique for
this SoC
: Many Thanks

: P.S. Should I have posted this to freebsd-arm?
This is radically cool!
I'd love to see FreeBSD going on this phone, and would help out as
best I can. I was going to buy one, but my cash flow won't allow it
until I can sell some real estate :-(.
