If your silicon vendor supports BSD's, of course. From my (little) experience most vendors SDK will be available to Linux and vxWorks but not BSD. This limits companies that are building equipments based on third parties ASIC to use anything but Linux.
You are right, of course, since the silicon vendors customers decide what they want the device to support, and that is (currently) Linux and VxWorks. Some BSD folk are trying to change that, by investing their time in the patches/ports needed to support additional embedded processor types/derivatives and make it a viable platform. There is even a Raspberry Pi port now available for FreeBSD as I recall. Ideally those efforts will produce a viable ecosystem for BSD in this space. Gary
