Hi Lars,

I seen info about Raspberry Pi, this is very nice hardware. It will be
fun to port FreeBSD on it, since I already have experience with
Broadcom SoC's. But device have undocumented parts, so writing driver
for it maybe impossible or very hard (through a lot of RE).

Anyway, it would be nice to play with it.
