     <h3><a name="hw">FreeBSD/ARM Hardware Notes</a></h3>
 
-    <p>FreeBSD should work on the i80321 based Intel XScale®
-      devboards, which includes the IQ31244 and IQ80321 boards.
-      Support is still minimal, covering only the CPU, PCI-X bus,
-      em(4) Ethernet adapters, the UART and timer devices.</p>
-
-    <p>The i80219 XScale processor is supported, as is the EP80219
-      devboard.</p>
-
-    <p>The IXP425 is supported, as is the Avila GW2348-4 devboard.</p>
-
-    <p>The Atmel AT91RM9200 CPU/Microcontroller range is supported.
-      Support is provided for the Kwikbyte KB9202 devboard range, the
-      BWCT board and the Hot-e HL200 thin client device.</p>
-
-    <p>Minimal support for the StrongARM 1100 CPU is provided, but
-      only within the limits of what Simics emulate: CPU,  UART and
-      clock.  It is theoretically possible to boot on the Assabet board,
-      the one Simics emulates; no attempts, successful or unsuccessful,
-      have been reported.</p>
-
-    <p>Additionally, support for the Technologic Systems TS-7200 devboard
-      is in the works, as is support for the Atmel AT91SAM926x CPU and
-      the Marvell Orion ARM SoC, the Samsung S3C2XX0 range, and Cirrus
-      Logic EP93XX CPUs.</p>
+    <p>FreeBSD/arm supports or is working on support for a large range of
+      ARM CPUs and development boards.  Not every peripheral is supported on
+      every CPU or board, though work continues towards this and contributions
+      are always welcome.  Conversely, many CPUs and boards not listed may
+      work with only minimal changes needed.</p>
+
+    <p>Listing all supported devices on all CPUs and boards is impractical here,
+      however much information can be obtained from the mailing list and
+      archives, <a href='https://wiki.freebsd.org/FreeBSD/arm'>the FreeBSD/arm
+      Wiki pages</a>, and also from the
+      <a href='https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/sys/arm/conf/'>Kernel
+      Configuration files</a></p>

-    <h3>What musicians say about FreeBSD/ARM</h3>
-
-    <p>With FreeBSD/ARM, you can enjoy the silence from running your
-      (embedded) computer.  There's even a song of that name, "Enjoy
-      The Silence", by Depeche Mode:</p>
-
-      <pre>All I ever wanted
-All I ever needed
-Is here in my ARMs
-Words are very unnecessary
-They can only do harm</pre>
