<p>FreeBSD/ARM is a port of FreeBSD which aims to run
on the ARM architecture and hardware.
The project's goal is to provide support for the
architecture and hardware surrounding it.</p>
<h3>FreeBSD/ARM Hardware Notes</h3>
<p>Currently FreeBSD should work on the i80321 based intel
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>Minimal support for the StrongARM 1100 CPU is provided, but
only within the limits of what Simics emulate: CPU, UART and
clock. It is theorically possible to boot on the Assabet board,
the one simics emulates; no attempts, successful or unsuccessful
have been reported.
<h3>What Needs To Be Done</h3>
<ul>
<li>SATA support needs to be added.</li>
<li>Other devices, such as watchdog, i2c and bus should be merged
from NetBSD.</li>
</ul>

<h3>Mini-Install guide</h3>

current FreeBSD source. It is
