The BCM2835 is the actual SoC that contains the ARM processor and a bunch of auxiliary components. I'm not sure if the specifications are "open" enough so you can download them but you do seem to be able to request it: http://www.broadcom.nl/products/BCM2835frybsd said:I was searching for details on bcm2835 and bcm2708, but couldn't find anything.
Debian's bcm2708 module supports the hardware random generator of the Raspberry Pi, so it is open enough. I was wondering if FreeBSD's module uses the random generator as well. There seems to be no file dedicate for it in the repository (https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd/tree/master/sys/arm/broadcom/bcm2835), but I didn't look into the code.SirDice said:I'm not sure if the specifications are "open" enough so you can download them but you do seem to be able to request it
