Hi folks,
[ Sorry for dropping in like this -- I'm a FreeBSD weenie, happy with the
i386 platform, and little uneducated when it comes to other platforms.
After reading http://www.netbsd.org/MailingLists/index.html I think this
is the best place to send this too -- apologies if it's off topic ]
I'm considering buying the Empeg in-car MP3 player (http://www.empeg.com/).
However, I'd rather it didn't run Linux. Partly because I just prefer the
BSD way of doing things, and partly just for the hack value of using the
hardware on another OS.
The technical info at http://www.empeg.com/tech.html says that the unit
uses a 220MHz StrongARM S-1100-DA. The NetBSD ARM page says that NetBSD
is compatible with the ARM processor, which is great. I just wanted to
double check that it's compatible with this particular ARM processor.
Thanks,
N
