There's an industrial computer chip using ARM9 (aka: ARMv5 !!!!), let alone ARMv7. https://www.microchip.com/en-us/product/sam9x60 https://www.microchip.com/en-us/product/sam9x60 This was released in the year 2020, for example, the latest Atmel SAM Microprocessor. While ARM9 / ARMv5 is abnormally out-of-date (lol Nintendo DS was ARMv6), its still getting new chips even today. ARMv7, consisting of Cortex-A5, A7, and similar chips, is also similarly widespread today. I don't know how much FreeBSD support there is but I can think of multiple chips that have been made in the past 5 years that are still 32-bit ARMv7. In an embedded world that still buys 8-bit computers, 32-bit is a luxury and 64-bit is just too much. ---------- I'm only familiar with these chips from a Linux perspective however. But I have to imagine that some FreeBSD fanboi is hard at work porting FreeBSD to them! EDIT: Lets see.... https://www.freebsd.org/platforms/arm/ https://www.freebsd.org/platforms/arm/ Oh snap, Xilinx Zynq7 family. Yeah, that will do it. That's an extremely common chip (FPGA + ARMv7 / Cortex-A9).
