> With an easy availability of the development boards, such as SolidRun
> A388-Clearfog, this SoC family has a large ecosystem of various
> Marvell and third-party software stacks and wide open-source support
> (e.g. Linux, U-Boot, OpenWRT). From now on the FreeBSD project is
> full-fledged part of it. Because this port was originally supposed to
> be a base for a set of the UTM devices, also there was an effort to
> introduce a rich, production quality port.

> In the time of past months all features have made their way to FreeBSD-HEAD:
