Hi, I am looking for a solution capable of running FreeBSD that I will be able to add an LCD or OLED display to. The project spec is fairly simple: - Use an embedded SoC solution - Fit inside a DIN enclosure eg. https://eng.italtronic.com/products/embedded_box_en/ - Have an LCD or OLED display with or without keypad eg. https://www.crystalfontz.com/product/cfa633rdiks-rs232-alphanumeric-lcd-display-16x2#undefined Currently I am thinking about an Odroid C1+ with a Crystalfontz display as they are well supported by Lcdproc. Already I have gone through: https://wiki.freebsd.org/FreeBSD/arm/Odroid-C1 https://www.freebsd.org/platforms/arm.html https://wiki.freebsd.org/FreeBSD/arm but just wanted to see if anyone has any experience with this type of setup or could offer some advice? I guess connection to the LCD would be another question as the most common two options would be GPIO or USB. In the case of GPIO is there a way to simulate an serial connection or are there better supported boards with serial or usb headers on them already? There are LCD modules made specifically for these boards which do sit on top of the GPIO however, do these work with Lcdproc? http://www.lcdproc.org/hardware.php3 Thanks. Kaya
