Status

+ +

ARM is officially a + + Tier 2 architecture, as the FreeBSD project + does not provide official releases or pre-built packages for this + platform due to it primarily targeting the embedded arena. However, + FreeBSD/ARM is being actively developed and maintained, is well supported, + and provides an excellent framework for building ARM-based systems.

+ +

FreeBSD/ARM Hardware Notes

+ +

FreeBSD should work on the i80321 based Intel XScale® 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.

+

The i80219 XScale processor is supported, as is the EP80219 + devboard.

+ +

The IXP425 is supported, as is the Avila GW2348-4 devboard.

+ +

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.

+

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.

What Needs To Be Done

+

Additionally, support for the Technologic Systems TS-7200 devboard + is in the works, as is support for the Atmel AT91SAM926x CPU and + the Mavell Orion ARM SoC, the Samsung S3C2XX0 range, and Cirrus + Logic EP93XX CPUs.
