Is this really possible:? Sorry for be a bit unoptimist, but in the
embeded space the o.s.must follow some rules that freebsd (nor linux,
*bsd, windows, etc..) can't:
- size: The o.s. must be minimal. Freebsd kernel, now, is a bit huge.
- realtime: The o.s. must do some tasks at fixed times, this tasks
can't wait for nothing.
The size one can be fixed, but the realtime not. It needs a new
scheleude, irq manager,...; so a great kernel rework.
Also, you forget the PowerPC chips. They are in a lot of embedded
devices and now freebsd has support for them (6.x).
