Gateworks and RB500

I have plenty of Avilas and RouterBOARDS, and I know a bit about *BSD 
and embedded systems; how can I help get the wheels of freedom rolling 
on these platforms? These lists seem low-volume, are there any forums? 
Daily builds or anything that boots even?

You are in luck.  Support for the Avilas has just been committed.
Support for a RouterBOARD is likely a little further out (it is MIPS
based, no?).

Sam Laffler sent out he following mail to freebsd-arm a couple of days
ago:

: I just committed the code to make 2348 boards usable.  But there are
: some caveats.
: 
: 1. The npe (wired ethernet) support requires Intel firmware that we
: cannot distribute (yet); you must obtain it from the Intel web site if
: you don't otherwise have it (e.g. in a Gateworks Linux distribution).
: 
: 2. The compact flash ide support needs a change to
: sys/dev/ata/ata-all.c; roll back that file to rev 1.274.
: 
: 3. If you want to use ath cards in the minipci slots you'll need to use
: a newer hal than what is in CVS.  I believe the tarball at
: http://www.freebsd.org/~sam/ath_hal-20060909.tgz will work but am not
: sure.  I'm working on getting a known-good version together.
: 
: This stuff has mostly been tested booting with an NFS-mounted root
