Hi Michael, I just started using some Arduino devices with FreeBSD in the last couple of weeks. I encountered two issues using them in FreeBSD (7.4-RELEASE i386): 0) The automatic reset for programming generally didn't work for me. However after judicious experimentation I was able to time a manual reset of the board being programmed by waiting for the "Binary sketch size:" message to appear in the Arduino IDE and timing a reset from that (about 2-3 seconds in my case). 1) Initially I found with the first two boards I worked with that I was unable to program them from FreeBSD until I had successfully programmed them from a system running Windows. It seems too bizarre to be true and it seems more likely that I hadn't latched on to some key element of successfully programming from the FreeBSD environment. Nevertheless in both cases having programmed them from the Windows machine I subsequently had immediate success from FreeBSD. Two of the boards I'm using are clones made by Freetronics. I'm also using some "Pro mini" boards made by SparkFun programmed via an FTDI breakout cable. I am now programming all of the boards successfully from FreeBSD.
