Re: System-On-Module
How about GPU 2D & 3D support for Vivante GC2000? There seem to be some open source driver out there but its GPL GPU acceleration for 2D and 3D is a must for us and if it is only a matter of a few programmers time and effort we can invest in it. Can there be any blocking things like proprietary software/hardware etc? -- Johannes Lundberg BRILLIANTSERVICE CO., LTD.

I think you can check some open source implementations for those GPU related things (only for linux maybe): For Vivante: https://github.com/laanwj/etna_viv/wiki For Adreno: http://freedreno.github.io For Mali: http://limadriver.org I guess they are mostly based on reverse engineering effort. I think you can even ask about the statuses directly from the authors/maintainers on some irc channel. Not sure about Tegra or PowerVR.

On the other hand people still struggle when it comes to CPI on RPi, because it is handled by the GPU. I'm still not so sure about this Broadcom SoC. This is the reason why I like that the RPi Camera header is also used on the Hummingboard and the BanannaPi. The Hummingboard is an iMX6. The BanannaPi unfortunately is an Allwinner and their datasheets are AFAIK chinese only and IIRC also under NDA. The Novena crown funding included iMX6 2D/3D driver development for Linux as a met stretch goal: https://www.crowdsupply.com/kosagi/novena-open-laptop/stretch-goals https://www.crowdsupply.com/kosagi/novena-open-laptop I don't know how much of the results will be useable for us, but at least some people seem to have access to enough documentation. > Andrew > > [1] > http://www.broadcom.com/docs/support/videocore/VideoCoreIV-AG100-R.pdf -- B.Walter http://www.bwct.de Modbus/TCP Ethernet I/O Baugruppen, ARM basierte FreeBSD Rechner uvm. ___ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

If you use a prebuild module then you don't get much in touch with the freescale chip fropm the hardware side. On the other hand, there are countless iMX6 boards out there with schematics online. My recently bought Novena even came with printed schematics and they open sourced the HW design files as well.

The one I already got are board only (with some FPGA breakout, ...). They have HDMI though. But I'm also awaiting for the one with case and LCD panel. Not to forget that I have a fairy EDM carrier with LCD already. That said I'v always wondered how much work is it to get the camera interface running, since the Hummingboards can connect to the RPi camera modules. > Some audio support was recently committed, but I don't know much about > it yet. > > -- Ian > > -- B.Walter http://www.bwct.de Modbus/TCP Ethernet I/O Baugruppen, ARM basierte FreeBSD Rechner uvm. ___ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

The imx6 manuals include an errata list, so it would be good to check that for anything specific that would matter to your projects. For the devices we use in our products everything is good so far with the hardware. That's emmc, sdcard, ethernet, i2c, uarts, usb, and lots of gpio (inputs and outputs). The ethernet is gigabit but has a known limitation of 40MB/s due to the bus it's connected to in the chip. (But hey, it's documented so it's not a problem, right? :) You mentioned video, and we don't have that working on freebsd imx6 yet, but there's not a ton of work to do. There's a framebuffer driver for imx5 and it has pretty much the same framebuffer hardware. Getting video output to a TTL LCD is probably just hours of work.

That's similar to the EDM module that wandboards use: http://www.technexion.com/products/edm/edm-som/edm1-cf-imx6 You can buy the EDM modules directly from Technexion if you're willing to buy quantity, or through resellers like Digikey.

Don't get confused with the wandboard module+carrier board, which is the normal offer (and in small volumes often cheaper than the 10x module pack). The Wandboard module alone is extremly similar to the Kontron modules in your link. They don't have eMMC (maybe some of the TechNexion have), but they do have a micro-SD on the module itself, plus SDIO on the module header. eMMC can have a higher transport speed because it allows for 8bit instead of 4bit and as soldered chip it has different issued than a socketed card, but otherwise they are very similar in design. The 2 and 4 core Wandboards have BT/WLAN on module, but it is done by SDIO, for which FreeBSD (to my knowledge) has no support yet. -- B.Walter http://www.bwct.de Modbus/TCP Ethernet I/O Baugruppen, ARM basierte FreeBSD Rechner uvm. ___ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Re: System-On-Module
Thanks a lot guys. I can specify a bit more details. We don't need any sd-card, sata or external storage. Just the internal eMMC is enough. Display output can be DSI, LVDS or something that can easily be serialized to transfer over 2 wires. If WiFi and Bluetooth 4.0 is on the board that'll also be great. And of course, it would be helpful if the said board also is available as development kit... If the first tests are ok (tests can be done using Linux if FreeBSD doesn't run out of the box) we're looking to buy a larger amount, at least >1000 to start with. We are flexible about prize and size of the board. Atom is preferable over imx6, but I'll check out what you recommended. Thanks again! Ps. Hopefully we can also provide development boards for anyone who wants to help with porting out of own interest. -- Johannes Lundberg On Thu, Jan 29, 2015 at 5:14 AM, Bernd Walter wrote: > On Wed, Jan 28, 2015 at 12:27:31PM -0700, Ian Lepore wrote: > > On Wed, 2015-01-28 at 19:32 +0100, Bernd Walter wrote: > > > On Wed, Jan 28, 2015 at 06:52:52PM +0900, Lundberg, Johannes wrote: > > > > Hi > > > > > > > > Of all the low power, high-spec system/computer-on-modules out there > which > > > > have best support for FreeBSD? > > > > > > > > MEN > > > > Variscite > > > > Technologic system > > > > Adlink > > > > etc. > > > > > > > > What I am looking for is a system with roughly this specs > > > > ARM or x86, 64bit if possible. > > > > 2-4 cores > > > > 1.5-2.0 GHz > > > > 2 GB RAM > > > > ~16 GB Storage > > > > USB 3.0 > > > > PCB size about one to two credit cards. > > > > > > In that range I would go for a Wandboard. > > > They are 1, 2 or 4 core iMX6 32bit with 512M, 1G or 2G RAM. > > > The 4 core has SATA, which to my knowledge we don't support yet. > > > They come with 2 useable SD-card slots - one on the module and one > > > on a carrier board. > > > Clock rate is 1GHz only IIRC and they only have high speed USB, > although > > > the newest carrier boards have some super speed wiring for future > modules. > > > > > > TechNexion, the originator of that module system also has some > > > x86 boards - some may fit your requirements, but those are at > > > a higher price and bigger form factor. > > > Tech Nexion also has iMX6 boards similar to the wandboard with > > > different featuresets, but also at a higher price. > > > > You do get more for that higher price with the Technexion EDM modules, > > namely 1.2ghz chips instead of 1.0, and parts that are industrial and/or > > automotive temperature-rated rather than consumer grade.

You do get more for that higher price with the Technexion EDM modules, namely 1.2ghz chips instead of 1.0, and parts that are industrial and/or automotive temperature-rated rather than consumer grade. On the other hand, you generally can't buy Technexion modules one at a time. Last time I checked they were minimum order 10 pieces even from resellers like Mouser and Digikey. Another small-board imx6 possibility is the Hummingboard from SolidRun. I now have freebsd running on a SolidRun Cubox-i4, so I expect no large drama in getting it working on other SolidRun imx6 products.

In that range I would go for a Wandboard. They are 1, 2 or 4 core iMX6 32bit with 512M, 1G or 2G RAM. The 4 core has SATA, which to my knowledge we don't support yet. They come with 2 useable SD-card slots - one on the module and one on a carrier board. Clock rate is 1GHz only IIRC and they only have high speed USB, although the newest carrier boards have some super speed wiring for future modules. TechNexion, the originator of that module system also has some x86 boards - some may fit your requirements, but those are at a higher price and bigger form factor. Tech Nexion also has iMX6 boards similar to the wandboard with different featuresets, but also at a higher price. > I wish to minimize the amount of porting needed so I am very grateful if > someone has good insights in this area.
