This page aims to enlist tasks and projects necessary to make FreeBSD a viable choice for modern embedded systems.
| Name | Description | References | Contact person |
| NAND framework | NAND chips require driver and GEOM layer to make them work in FreeBSD | http://wiki.freebsd.org/NAND | freebsd-embedded@ |
| Embedded Release Building | Provide ready-to use FreeBSD images for supported platforms | ?? | No hands |
| FDT & resource management on ARM | Restructure resource (interrupt/memory/gpio/etc) management on ARM, unify ports machdep code, make FDT support complete and ready to use for existing and future ports | http://wiki.freebsd.org/FlattenedDeviceTree | jceel@ |
| Embedded Handbook | Provide a guide that will describe: how to cross-compile FreeBSD, boot over NFS, build distribution image, add support for new boards via DTS files. | ?? | No hands |
| Switch PHY support | Plenty of boards include a basic switch PHY - others include a more complicated hardware offload engine. Let's worry about the former for now. | http://people.freebsd.org/~ray/switch_framework/ | ray@ |
| Flash Filesystem | |||
| Configuration Save/Load | It'd be nice to have a single, consistent way of storing and retrieving configuration information across all freebsd embedded implementations |
