Porting to Cortex A9.

[Ben Gray]

Hi Giorgio,

     I would say at the moment FreeBSD on the Pandaboard is not really a 
good choice.  There is still a large amount of work to do on the 
drivers, not to mention the H/W codec interface (IVAHD/syslink) and the 
opengl 3D acceleration.  (Unfortunately) My recommendation would be to 
use Linux on the Pandaboard, the kernel and drivers seem stable and TI 
appears to be actively working on and releasing codecs plus the openGL 
drivers.

Cheers,
Ben.
