Looking for an embedded system retailer

Hey all!

I'm looking for an embedded system retailer (preferrably, but not exclusively) 
in Germany, who sells i386-based systems, which are able to run standard 
i386-FreeBSD.

A Google search (for me) didn't turn up proper results, that's why I thought 
I'd ask the list. Thanks for any reply (also off-list, as not to do 
advertising :-)).

A few years a go I bought a few small boxes from Advatech:
http://www.advantech.de/  Those were 3.5" size SBCs with
Geode processors, fanless, CF-bootable and fairly fast.
They offer other kinds of embeddable systems, too (smaller
and larger).

I'm not in any way affiliated with them (except that I'm
a satisfied customer), so I don't call this advertising.

Best regards
   Oliver

Hello.

We are selling FreeBSD based industrial process controllers
with PC104 boards from Jumptec/Kontron and AdvanTech.

Porting FreeBSD to the Neo1973 (arm920t)

Hi all,

Andrew Turner and me are currently exploring what to do about getting
FreeBSD to run on the Neo1973. Andrew put up some first instructions
here: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/FreeBSD

Much information about the hardware can be found in that wiki. We are
currently stuck after loading the kernel because there is no
framebuffer driver (yet) and the uart is not working.

I'm using qemu right now because I have no hardware yet.

Any idea what to do next? How to get the uart working? And how to tell
the kernel to use it as console?

Many Thanks
Marius

P.S. Should I have posted this to freebsd-arm?

Are there instructions for that posted somewhere.  Last time I tried
to get it going I hit all kinds of snags.

Chances are very good that you'll need more than just the uart.  The
uart for the samsung devices will need a driver written for it.
You'll also need to initialize memory in some way that's unique for
this SoC

It might also make sense to create a mkimage port.  I have another
AT91RM9200 board with uboot I'd like to be able to boot from...

Just checkout https://svn.openmoko.org/trunk/src/host/qemu-neo1973 with
subversion and do this:
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Talk:OpenMoko_under_QEMU#FreeBSD_and_Qemu...

Then run openmoko/download.sh and openmoko/flash.sh if you have all the
dependencies it should work.
