I am thinking about using FreeBSD for an embedded project that is coming up.
The architecture is Xilinx Zynq, which is an ARM Cortex-A9 (ARMv7-A).
Would FreeBSD be a good choice for this project? This is a professional project and the OS needs to be rock solid when we release.
I downloaded a SD-Card image and was able to boot FreeBSD on a development board:
http://www.skibo.net/zedbsd/
But there seems to be very little information or discussion about this platform that I can find.
Any thoughts or opinions on this topic? How mature is the ARM port of FreeBSD?
Also, I was wondering, can I generate ELF files with the Vivado SDK, and run them at the FreeBSD command line?
Thanks!
