FreeBSD on Snickerdoodle

[Thomas Skibo]

Hello:

I have booted FreeBSD on a Snickerdoodle, a low-cost ($65) Xilinx Zynq board. I’m glad to see Zynq boards are finally coming down in price.  The “gigglebits” five-port GigE baseboard also looks interesting (see in the crowdsupply link).

I received an early release of the board late last week (one of the founders of krtkl is a FreeBSD fan and contacted me).  I had FreeBSD up and running fairly quickly by simply tweaking their port of u-boot.  But, unfortunately, it has its WiFi module on SDIO like the RPi3 so I think it’ll be a while before that works.
