Dear all: We are a recently born working group at the Facultad de Ciencias Exactas, F=EDsicas y Naturales (http://www.efn.uncor.edu/), Universidad Nacional de C=F3rdoba (http://www.unc.edu.ar/) interested in technologies for education= , from server configuration/administration to embedded systems. Marcelo Cebollada and me are the leaders of the group and we are leading students professional practices and final career projects. My first FreeBSD installation was 2.2.6 (1998), when I was a student. Today, we have several servers with different BSD flavors serving different services for the University. Our largest service over FreeBSD is a Moodle Installation (http://lev.efn.uncor.edu/). In the next weeks we will start working to have a FreeBSD mirror in one of our new servers. We started our embedded tour with the Mele A1000 (Allwinner A10). You have also seen mail from our students that were working with it (Mariano Lescano, Jos=E9 Ribodino and Manuel Ferreiro). They succeed embedding FreeB= SD upon all driver limitations. Also, they could run FreeBSD on a Cubieboard in a similar way as Crochet does. Now, they are working on a tutorial. Of course, we want to contribute our experience. Now, we have a Raspberry Pi, two Cubieboard 1 and two small systems ( http://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/231118984.html). We are waiting the arriving of a Cubieboard 2 and some QT960-A2 ( http://www.aliexpress.com/item/TV-BOX-QT960-A2-Android-Set-Top-TV-BOX-1GB-R= AM-4GB-ROM-HDMI-Allwinner-A20/1184857989.html ). Two other students are starting they professional practice in driver development. They will focus on Cubieboard 1 and 2, especifically in SD, NAND flash and Ethernet drivers. We want to know the status of Cubieboard drivers. Is anyone working on it? Do you have some suggestions about how to start? So, all your help would be very appreciated. We hope we can contribute to the FreeBSD Project. --=20 Saludos cordiales, Maximiliano Eschoyez
