sorry for my later answer.
Many thanks to all the interesting points. I think I will create a
flyer which lists the information you gave me. I think it will be
available at the German CeBit in March.
I found on Amazon a book about the topic:

Many thanks again for the hints.

Hi,
What embedded hardware to you think is available in the market suitable
for TinyBSD?
Thanks
Sam

: FreeBSD is also being made to run on a variety of smaller ARM platforms
: right now like the ARM920T. It might also be possible to get a PPC
: platform like the 405G/440G working without a whole lot of work.
The StrongArm stuff also is in decent shape. The ARM920T core needs
glue for the different types of ARM processors by different OEMs.
There's some work on the ep9301 in the p4 repo right now which gets at
least one eval board working (see http://www.embeddedarm.com/ for the
TS7200 and TS7250). Other cores are also in the pipeline.
They are nice board. But I guess my project doesn't need USB ports. Do you think its price can be under $100 USD eg. $80USD without built-in USB ports?

I've looked at Tundra II driver for a potential data collection
project that needed VME cards, but that never happened... Didn't look
too hard to do, but since that project never happened, no work was
ever done on it beyond the exploritory stages.

That would be an interesting project. I did a Tundra II
QNX driver for one of our SBCs with an Intel processor, but again
PPC is not a big issue here.
What would be the interest in the community for such a development?
I need to justify everything that I work on, as I am fully loaded
most of the year.
However, it's an interesting thought...

This is very cool. I look forward to being able to run FreeBSD on a cPCI
chassis for one very strong reason: cPCI has geographical PCI addressing
support. If we had a clean way of using this to number network interfaces,
even better -- it's been a bone of contention with router control plane
software (i.e. XORP) for a while.

FreeBSD runs multiuser on the Mac G3 and G4 platforms right now.
Translating that into running on a PPC 405G or 440G or similar SOC
system would probably take a couple of months of writing the appropriate
glue code and bootstrap and porting some drivers. I'd very much like to
see this be done, but it's not something that I have the cycles to in my
free time.

Typically in this space, people select hardware based on I/O

FreeBSD runs on pretty much anything with an i386 compatible CPU,
and the soekris is merely the hackers favourite.
Maintaining a comprehensive list would be a bit of work, but not
a lot of work, so if somebody volunteers for it, I'm sure we can

Hello,

he wants to migrate some applications to that platform.
I was surprised about this question and the only system that comes in my
mind was "Soekris".
