Hi Mohammed,

What do you exactly mean by "OMAP4 Emulation" ?

OMAP4 is is currently not supported on freebsd, there are some ongoing efforts
to introduce support for OMAP4 but that requires lot of work including
ARMv7 support and SMP.

There is working tree of OMAP4 code at:

http://gitorious.org/+freebsd-omap-team/freebsd/freebsd-omap

Mainly developed by Ben Grey.
