# What works
 - Boots multi-user on [[!template id=man name="ld" section="4"]] @ [[!template id=man name="sdmmc" section="4"]] root and [[!template id=man name="com" section="4"]] console.
 - Ethernet ([[!template id=man name="cpsw" section="4" arch="evbarm"]])

# What needs work
 - EDMA3 (perhaps at first for [[!template id=man name="sdhc" section="4"]])
 - USB (host)
 - SPI
 - I²C
 - GPIO
 - Framebuffer/graphics with LCD or DVI/HDMI capes
 - Touchscreens on LCD capes
 - USB (device)

 - Growing the root file-system
   - During the partitioning process, do not delete or format the
     first MSDOS (FAT) partition, as the Raspberry pi firmware is
     hard coded to boot on the SDCAD / 1st MSDOS partition / Firmware
     updates and boot loader.
   - Reboot, and at the prompt to enter the passname of shell, press
           return for the default (/bin/sh).
   - At the # prompt, type

        "disklabel -i ld0" and press return.
   - At the partition> prompt type "A" and press return.

           Adjust disklabel sector from 4194304 to 62333952 [n]?
           Type "y" and press return.
   - partition> prompt type "a" and press return.

           Filesystem type prompt, press return to use the current value (4.2BSD).
           Start offset prompt, press return to use the current value.
           Partition size prompt, type "$" and press return to grow the
           partition to use all available free space.
   - partition> prompt type "W" to save the changes to the disklabel.

           Confirm this choice by typing "y" at the Label disk prompt.
           Type "Q" and press return to quit disklabel.
   - At the # prompt (shell), type

           fsck -fy /dev/rld0a
           resize_ffs -y /dev/rld0a
   - This may take a few minutes, be patient!

           fsck -fy /dev/rld0a
           mount_msdos /dev/ld0e /boot
           reboot
    - When the system comes back up, the root file-system will have been expanded to
           fill the SD card.
