Hello all, Semihalf is happy to officially announce that starting from SVN revision r319914 FreeBSD is ready to run on Marvell Armada 38x system-on-a-chip family! With an easy availability of the development boards, such as SolidRun A388-Clearfog, this SoC family has a large ecosystem of various Marvell and third-party software stacks and wide open-source support (e.g. Linux, U-Boot, OpenWRT). From now on the FreeBSD project is full-fledged part of it. Because this port was originally supposed to be a base for a set of the UTM devices, also there was an effort to introduce a rich, production quality port. In the time of past months all features have made their way to FreeBSD-HEAD: * Single/dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 and platform initialization, incorporated into common Marvell code (sys/arm/mv), which was fixed/improved in many places * Optimised network controller support (sys/dev/neta) * Cascade interrupt controllers support (MPIC to GICv2) * SATA 3.0 * USB 3.0 * SDHCI 3.0 * USB 2.0 * RTC * Multiple ports PCIe support * Performance counters and fixes for ARMv7 HWMPC * I2C * GPIO * Marvell 88E6176 switch support (sys/dev/etherswitchcfg/e6000sw) This was a joined effort of Semihalf and Stormshield (main development sponsor), in particular: Fabien Thomas Arnaud Ysmal Zbigniew Bodek Michal Stanek Jan Dabros Bartosz Szczepanek Konrad Adamczyk Dominik Ermel Wojciech Macek Marcin Wojtas Also great thanks to Netgate for sponsoring and supporting great part of the upstream effort and providing the SDHCI support for the platform (by Luiz Otavio O Souza). Best regards, Marcin
