TO DO: Add support for building images for the Raspberry Pi family

Since the Raspberry Pi platform is a good application area for a live system, adding support for building RPI images would be great.

@mrclksr, thanks for assigning a task to me. FreeBSD provides images for RPi already, but I'll try to figure out how to prepare them in case of NomadBSD first.

[mrclksr]

Great. Thank you, @dsalychev :)

was any progress made wrt nomad-pi ?

Unfortunately, no.

[dubiouscript]

any hints on what would be required for this to progress ?

i guess the starting point would be to see the aproprate arch ?

as the readme mentions

set ARCH= in build.cfg.

..and if it is posible to produce a rpi image , then ..i guess it woud hopefuly not be to much to add nomadBSD to pinn

USB boot works really well for linux now Is there any ARM build we can work with? or a pi-gen of sorts for NomadBSD?

Any status update on building Raspberry Pi images?

Actually any ARM support would be awesome. IMHO RPi is pretty bad choice for initial ARM support as it has a lot of proprietary drivers. It makes it harder to port.
