Pinephone Pro

Hey there folks - I recently acquired a Pinephone Pro as well as the 
Keyboard/Battery case option they sell:

I especially like the Keyboard as it will probably make my on call 
rotations easier while I'm out running errands.  That's the theory at least.

I've gotten Linux (postmarketOS) up on it, and it seems OK and will 
probably be my daily driver OS.  It certainly has quite a few warts to 
be honest, which is surprising because I assumed things would be a bit 
more polished with all the attention linux gets.

Regardless, I would be keen to test out and help if possible getting 
FreeBSD support on it.  My plan is to start with the PINE64 image on a 
flashed memory card and see how it goes. Hopefully by finding what the 
quirks are on Linux will be helpful resolving issues on the FreeBSD 
side.  Not expecting a fully featured device out of the gate, but will 
probably focus first on getting the keyboard and wifi stack up first if 
possible.  There even a userspace keyboard driver here which may be 
better than the linux-kernel driver:

So my question is - is the PINE64 the right image to use?  Anyone else 
tried this and able to share tweaks or docs they used to get things moving?

Cheers!
