They use Linux as operating systems but it shouldn't be pretty hard to port FreeBSD on it (the cpu core itself is already supported by FreeBSD), and the work was going to bring FreeBSD on it AFAIK. The hard part will be to implement drivers for various peripheral devices like keypad, LCD screen, codecs, etc. Currently FreeBSD don't support any LCD screen controllers or keypads as far as I know. -- Stanislav Sedov ST4096-RIPE
