Re: Support for rockpi-s (rockchip rk3308)

i wish i could use fbsd phone. but that's like pipe dream. for any moder
phone that is. some people have tried hacking it on pinephone iirc?

as for rk3308, that's built for smart speakers, hence the 8 channel
microphone array with hw offloaded processing that noone has driver for (?)
it has SOME video is see but

i think allwinners are good here. they are basically meant just for that.
custom phone is hell of a crazy idea

What's missing ? Personally I prefer a physical keyboard,like the
blackberry one. And I think there is the need to find a proper hardware
with the driver supported by freebsd. I don't know if it's easier to use a
physical keyboard or a touch screen with the driver attached freebsd
compatible. What still misses is a GSM / CDMA / HSPA / EVDO / LTE module
for place phone calls.sms and internet. What about the GPU ? Does your
rockchip rk3308 have a good GPU module integrated with the mobo ?

so largest is 1gb in size. it's slc though. and therefore small and
expensive. but with some squeezing, fbsd will do fine in that. even dual
rootfs and config partitions fit in. although it's more freedom in 8g emmc
sizes
