With its wide range of supported hardware platforms, NetBSD runs well on
many embedded systems, including ARM, XScale, MIPS and PowerPC CPUs.
The image shows a (real) toaster that was modified to include a TS-7200
board equipped with an ARM cpu to control the toaster's heating coil,
toasting time, and to also play MP3s and run Apache all at the same
time. Click here for
information on
and
pictures of
the NetBSD Toaster!

With pkgsrc, all of
your favorite applications run on NetBSD. Here you see NetBSD 5.0
running GNOME 2.26, Firefox 3.5, OpenOffice 3, GIMP, Rhythmbox, and Pidgin.
Thanks to its Linux compatibility layer, NetBSD can make use of Adobe's
Flash plugin for Linux.

The screenshot shows a Xen "domain0"
virtual machine, with four other virtual machines started (see
domain overview in the lower right corner): on the left side are
two domains running NetBSD, with two xterms showing the console of
the VMs, and VNC clients used to access the Xvnc servers running
in those VMs, providing a GUI to them. A similar setup is shown
on the upper right corner, which has booted Debian Linux, both with
console in xterm and a VNC client to access the Xvnc server, too.
The last VM runs FreeBSD as console only, with no X(vnc) started.

This image shows NetBSD development being done on Cygwin 1.7.0 / Windows XP.
NetBSD can be compiled on many POSIX compatible operating systems, such as
Solaris, MacOS X, and Linux.

Interested in trying out NetBSD? It's easy to give NetBSD a test drive
in a virtual machine using software like VMware.

These images show NetBSD used in embedded development. The upper image
shows a TS-7200 board equipped with in ARM9 CPU, 32MB RAM, flash drive,
10/100 Ethernet, Compact Flash, USB keyboard, WiFi-USB and serial (COM)
ports. The parallel ports are connected to a numeric keypad and a HD44780
display, on which a login can be run, as shown in the lower image. All the
code for this is in the main NetBSD distribution, no extra patches required!

The item of interest in this picture is the horizontal grey box in the
middle of the hi-fi cabinet. It's a diskless MP3 jukebox,
running NetBSD/shark. The Shark is
completely silent due to having neither disk drives (it NFS mounts its
file-systems, including '/') nor fans (as it is based on the StrongARM
processor, it generates negligable heat). The machine uses one of the
S-video inputs on the TV for display purposes, and an infrared
keyboard/mouse for input purposes. The Shark's audio output is of
sufficiently high quality that it takes a discerning ear to tell the
difference between the original CD and MP3 recording on this setup.

which, naturally, runs NetBSD.
