FreeBSD on embedded systems

[Bob Pickles]

Daniel

That would be an interesting project. I did a Tundra II 
QNX driver for one of our SBCs with an Intel processor, but again
PPC is not a big issue here.

What would be the interest in the community for such a development?

I need to justify everything that I work on, as I am fully loaded
most of the year.

However, it's an interesting thought...

Regards

Bob

Yes, one thing we lack is a VME bus driver for the Tundra I/II
chipset.  VME is still popular in military and industrial
control applications.
