+      <p>The i.MX range is a family of Freescale Semiconductor
+	proprietary microprocessors for multimedia applications based on
+	the ARM architecture and focused on low-power consumption.  The
+	i.MX6x series is based on the ARM Cortex A9 solo, dual or quad
+	cores.  Initial support for them has been committed to
+	<tt>head</tt>, and merged to <tt>stable/10</tt>.  All members of
+	the i.MX6 family (Solo, Dual, and Quad core) are supported, but
+	SMP support on the multi-core SoCs has not yet been enabled.</p>
+
+      <p>Initial driver support includes:</p>
+
+      <ul>
+	<li>USB (EHCI)</li>
+	<li>Ethernet (Gigabit)</li>
+	<li>SD Card</li>
+	<li>UART</li>
+      </ul>
+
+      <p>The initial hardware bringup was done on Wandboard hardware,
+	see the announcement on <tt>freebsd-arm</tt> in the links section
+	for more information.</p>
