<h3><a name="hw">FreeBSD/ARM Hardware Notes</a></h3>
<p>FreeBSD should work on the i80321 based Intel XScale&reg;
devboards, which includes the IQ31244 and IQ80321 boards.
Support is still minimal, covering only the CPU, PCI-X bus,
em(4) Ethernet adapters, the UART and timer devices.</p>
<p>FreeBSD/arm supports or is working on support for a large range of
ARM CPUs and development boards. Not every peripheral is supported on
every CPU or board, though work continues towards this and contributions
are always welcome. Conversely, many CPUs and boards not listed may
work with only minimal changes needed.</p>
<p>The i80219 XScale processor is supported, as is the EP80219
devboard.</p>
<p>Listing all supported devices on all CPUs and boards is impractical here,
however much information can be obtained from the mailing list and
archives, <a href='https://wiki.freebsd.org/FreeBSD/arm'>the FreeBSD/arm
Wiki pages</a>, and also from the
<a href='https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/sys/arm/conf/'>Kernel
Configuration files</a></p>
<p>The IXP425 is supported, as is the Avila GW2348-4 devboard.</p>
<h4>CPUs</h4>
<p>The Atmel AT91RM9200 CPU/Microcontroller range is supported.
Support is provided for the Kwikbyte KB9202 devboard range, the
BWCT board and the Hot-e HL200 thin client device.</p>
<ul>
<li>Allwinner A10/A20</li>
<li>Atmel AT91RM92 and AT91SAM9 families</li>
<li>Broadcom BCM2835 (used in Raspberry Pi)</li>
<li>Cavium CNS11xx</li>
<li>Freescale i.MX51, i.MX53, i.MX6 and Vybrid Family</li>
<li>Intel XSCALE</li>
<li>Marvell Orion, Kirkwood and Discovery Innovation families of systems-on-chip</li>
<li>Marvell Armada 500 (ARMv6) and Armada XP (ARMv7)</li>
<li>NXP LPC32x0</li>
<li>Qualcomm Snapdragon</li>
<li>Rockchip RK3188</li>
<li>Samsung Exynos5 and S3C24xxx</li>
<li>Texas Instruments DaVinci Digital Media SoC</li>
<li>TI OMAP</li>
<li>Xilinx Zynq7 family</li>
</ul>
<p>Minimal support for the StrongARM 1100 CPU is provided, but
only within the limits of what Simics emulate: CPU, UART and
clock. It is theoretically possible to boot on the Assabet board,
the one Simics emulates; no attempts, successful or unsuccessful,
have been reported.</p>
<p>Note that not all peripherals are supported on all CPUs.</p>
<p>Additionally, support for the Technologic Systems TS-7200 devboard
is in the works, as is support for the Atmel AT91SAM926x CPU and
the Marvell Orion ARM SoC, the Samsung S3C2XX0 range, and Cirrus
Logic EP93XX CPUs.</p>

<h3><a name="todo">What Needs To Be Done</a></h3>
<ul>
<li>SATA support needs to be added.</li>
<li>SATA support needs to be added for boards currently missing it.</li>
<li>Other devices, such as watchdog, i2c and bus should be merged
from NetBSD.</li>

<h3>What musicians say about FreeBSD/ARM</h3>
<p>With FreeBSD/ARM, you can enjoy the silence from running your
(embedded) computer. There's even a song of that name, "Enjoy
The Silence", by Depeche Mode:</p>
<pre>All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my ARMs
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm</pre>
