I have been punished rewarded for submitting patches to FreeBSD with a commit bit. I’ll initially be working on improving support for the Samsung s3c24×0 ARM cpu’s. I also have some network driver changes that will be useful for embedded boards.
Thank you to Warner, who is my mentor, for offering to mentor me and the previous core team for approving the bit.
I have started my own FreeBSD and Linux consulting business. It focuses on custom FreeBSD and Linux development at any level of the stack, from Kernel device drivers to custom GUI apps. I’m also working on a product that will be useful for companies wanting to work with FreeBSD in an embedded environment.
If you need a good developer to work on your project you should contact me.
Support for FreeBSD on the Samsung S3C2410 and S3C2440 has landed in -CURRENT. I’m currently working on supporting more device drivers and making it easier to configure, on a board level, which devices to use. There are patches for some of these that should land in HEAD soon. Support for the Neo Freerunner/1973 is not in HEAD as there is no support for it’s media (NAND flash or SD/MMC) in HEAD yet.
Semihalf has released their NAND flash driver for FreeBSD. I have been working on support for S3c24×0 micro’s and reviewing the code in preparation of it being merged into subversion.
