Hi all,
I've just submitted a patch to update the ARM platform page at
http://www.freebsd.org/platforms/arm.html - to bring it more up to date
with the progress made on the ARM port oiver the last year or two. I
wonder if anyone could just have a quick look over it, and make sure all
of the additions are valid? I've got most of the info from this mailing
list and the source so I'm pretty sure it is OK, but it would be good to
get someone who has more knowledge of ARM to have a scan over it.
The PR is at http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=www/121533
Thanks!
Gavin

The Hot-E isn't a development board, but an actual product. Other
than that, this looks good.
The installation guide likely needs improvement too...

Thanks for reviewing it, I've corrected that.

After trying to bring it up on an NSLU2, I already have plans to update
the other ARM documentation...

How far did you get on this? I have a start of a NSLU2 port too, but
didn't get too far before life got in the way.

I last looked at it probably nearly a year ago, before other things took
over. I had it booting up, but failing to recognise the IXP network
interface. I spent quite a bit of time working on this and was able to
get to the point where the MAC address and PHY were correctly recognised,
but it still wouldn't pass packetd.
The kernel would also panic when it tried to initialise USB. My NSLU2 was
cheap on ebay because the USB ports apparently didn't work on it so I
never spent any time investigating this, especially given the OS that
usually ships on it was constantly complaining about USB port issues too.
I think I had a driver written for the RTC too, which I can probably dig
out if you want it.
