The FreeBSD Project

NanoBSD has long provided a reliable framework for building embedded FreeBSD images, but its legacy pipeline remains monolithic and resource...

This project introduces a network abstraction layer to libkboot, enabling boot artifacts to be fetched from remote sources without disrupting the...

Problems to solve: - Porting and stabilizing Arduino CLI for FreeBSD - Fixing USB and serial communication workflows for reliable device interaction...

This project aims to add a livepatch subsystem to dynamically update kernel code. Having a way to patch bugs or security vulnerabilities without...

This project improves Netlink support in FreeBSD tracing tools by enabling structured decoding of Netlink message payloads. Currently, truss(1) shows...

fts(3) is the file hierarchy traversal library used by nearly every recursive utility in FreeBSD like find, rm, ls, chflags, du, and others. It...

Currently, Bluetooth HID support in FreeBSD is limited to the bthidd daemon. The daemon, while functional, uses its own custom userspace drivers...

This proposal lays out plans to bring native MPLS support into the FreeBSD kernel. MPLS—Multi-Protocol Label Switching—is a fast packet-forwarding...

This project introduces a firmware-backed persistent boot counter into the FreeBSD base system to address the early-boot entropy problem. During...

This proposal aims at implementing the following quality-of-life improvements to FreeBSD's Zoned Storage support: NVMe ZNS support; Zone-aware...

This project aims to implement the udmabuf (User DMA Buffer) driver on FreeBSD, a crucial mechanism for zero-copy memory sharing between userspace...

This project aims to add VMM acceleration support to QEMU on FreeBSD, bridging the gap between QEMU’s userspace emulation and FreeBSD’s kernel-based...

The current FreeBSD environment lacks robust automated testing for Rust kernel modules and officially maintained Rust drivers. Past projects for Rust...

FreeBSD currently lacks a tool to manage partitions and manipulate file systems like GParted does in Linux. The proposed project aims to use sade, a...

mkimg(1), a FreeBSD tool used for creating disk images in various formats, currently lacks support for creating compressed QCOW2 images. This project...

Problem Statement: Sockstat is a useful FreeBSD utility for displaying active sockets, but its current output format is rigid and lacks flexibility....

Intel™’s Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) is an industry standard specification that revolutionized power management by putting it...

This proposal aims to accelerate FreeBSD’s boot process by using the TSLOG framework to identify and target specific delays. Initial profiling...

This project aims to build a CLI and TUI utility for easy WiFi and network management on the FreeBSD operating system. The base features for...

This project aims to implement Linux-compatible journaling within FreeBSD's ext filesystem, which is a standard feature in Linux's ext3 and ext4...

FreeBSD previously lacked process-level power profiling, relying only on ACPI whole-system statistics. To address this, I built a FreeBSD-native...

The FreeBSD mac_do(4) and mdo(1) utilities enable controlled transitions of user and group credentials without relying on inherently risky setuid...

QEMU microvm is a lightweight virtual machine environment designed to run operating systems quickly with few hardware dependencies. This project...
