Hi everybody,
First, let me start with saying that I'm not really a unix
hacker, but a hardware designer having a little trouble
All my questions are related to my hardware development
project, an AMD SC520 based minimum network appliance, for
details, see http://www.soekris.com/net4501.html
Sorry everybody, I have to express my opinion now.
Dennis, it seems like that you keep repeating yourself here
And you keep being wrong. As a hardware designer myself, I can
assure you that there is no connection between hardware quality
and level of documentation.
And having fought with In
Hi Everybody,
I would like to inquire about what it would take to make a driver for a specific
ADSL board with direct PCI interface to FreeBSD
First, lets assume that I will supply boards, and that all necessery
documentation will be available.
How good is FreeBSD current structures for run
Louis,
Thanks for your reply.

Hi,
There has been some talks earlier about importing the OpenBSD code for
encryption hardware support.
As I now has prototypes avaliable of low cost PCI and MiniPCI boards,
moving to production in a couple of weeks, I would like to check up on
the work, as I would really like to see FreeBSD sup
Hi,
Thanks for the responses so far. First, let me say that I'm a hardware
guy, and don't know all the details of FreeBSD's network stack.
There is two common kind of hardware encryption acceleration, and I
think they're being mixed a little here.
SSL is for secure web access, and the main need

'm just starting with a low end chip to complement my 133 Mhz 486 based

Hi,
Btw, did I say that I'm planning to sell the 7951 based crypto board for
around $80 in single unnit volume, both for the PCI and MiniPCI
version
And Mike, if my answer is just a sentence, I like to keep it on top, so
people don't have to scroll all the way down to see what I'm writing...
Hi,
Bryan, again you're missing the point :-) You're working out from just
processing power, in the embedded world you usually start from somewhere
else
In the case of my products, the requirement are small size, low cost, no
moving parts (no fans or disks), long life, low power, meaning a p

Hi,
I'm trying to do some testing on my boxes with 3 ethernet interface. But
it seems like that FreeBSD gets very confused. Can somebody please tell
me what's going and, and preferable, help me out ?
I basically want to connect those 3 interface to the same hub, and then
use them all from one wi
Hi,
Thanks for the responses, the long delay was because that I didn't have
reverse lookup for the 192.168.x.x private IP's in my DNS setup, I just
thought it was related with the arp problem
Things seem to work fine now, but I still get a lot of those:

Hi,
Aren't operating systems supposed to use the PCI BIOS calls for finding
devices ? So the scanning order would then be controlled by the BIOS,
and then always follow the intent of the hardware manufacturer ? Or is
there problems with their intent ?

Hi Everybody,
I've been working like a madman on bringing up a new Geode SC1100 based
embedded board, but are stalled right now, and need help for debugging
with FreeBSD
The hardware basically seems to be working just fine, and I can boot
both MS-DOS and OpenBSD 2.9 from a CompactFlash. Bu
works great and are actually kinda fun....

Hi Everybody,
I'm looking for information about what you can expect in regarding to
hardware interrupt latency in FreeBSD
Assuming that you run without swap, and turn off whatever services that
would otherwise complicate things, do anybody have any idea how long you
can expect the worst case
