FreeBSD has been ported to run on Marvell Armada38x platform. This SoC family boasts single/dual high-performance ARM Cortex-A9 CPUs.

Multi-user SMP system is fully working and has been tested on Marvell DB-88F6288-GP and SolidRun ClearFog development boards.

Root filesystem can be hosted on a USB 3.0/2.0 drive or via NFS using a PCIe network card. Experimental support is available for on-chip Gigabit Ethernet (NETA).

Additional features:

• GIC+MPIC cascaded interrupts courtesy of INTRNG
• CESA dual-channel cryptographic engine
• USB 3.0 and 2.0
• PCIe 2.0
• I2C
