There is no official commercial support for the standard distribution, but there are many companies that develop embedded solutions with FreeBSD. Most likely these companies offer support for their FreeBSD-based products. > - Do freeBSD drivers for ARINC 429 exist? > - > - Do freeBSD drivers for the CAN bus exist? > - > - Do freeBSD drivers for ADFX exist? Maybe somebody out there wrote such drivers. Probably closed source. I don't know. At least they are not part of the standard distribution. Regards Björn
