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.
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.
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.
&a.cognet; (cognet@FreeBSD.org) has written a mini-install guide for the current FreeBSD source. It is available here.

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:
All I ever wanted All I ever needed Is here in my ARMs Words are very unnecessary They can only do harm&footer;
