Sorry, i reply it directly to gnn, not to the list. At 05:23 12/05/2006, you wrote: >Hi, > >I gave the following short talk at the BSDCan DevSummit.

Is this really possible:? Sorry for be a bit unoptimist, but in the embeded space the o.s.must follow some rules that freebsd (nor linux, *bsd, windows, etc..) can't: - size: The o.s. must be minimal. Freebsd kernel, now, is a bit huge. - realtime: The o.s. must do some tasks at fixed times, this tasks can't wait for nothing. The size one can be fixed, but the realtime not. It needs a new scheleude, irq manager,...; so a great kernel rework. Also, you forget the PowerPC chips. They are in a lot of embedded devices and now freebsd has support for them (6.x). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Useful Acronymous : FAQ = Frequently 'Answered' Questions _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-small To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
