Re: Radxa Zero and FreeBSD : happy marriage ?

The Waveshare SIM7600G-H 4G HAT. The IoT SIM provider I've used before now sells a '12 month' flat rate SIM. I had tinkered with a prior model SIM that allowed 64kbit/sec continuous bandwidth, and the newer model is rated for 750kbit/sec instead. The project idea is to see if this data rate would allow for a general communications device, allowing that phone service and SMS are excluded from the data plan.

For a start it's ok. Even though there aren't so many alternatives at the moment. Are you a developer ? Tell me something more about your technical choices. Which display do you want to use ?

Have you looked at the Waveshare boards as an easy way to get a prototyping system pulled together?

I'm planning to buy this soc : Radxa Zero Specifications : CPU : Amlogic S905Y2 quad-core Cortex-A53 RAM : Up to 4GB LPDDR4 (4GB option available) Ports : Mini HDMI Micro USB OTG Micro USB power Wireless : Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth 5.0 because I'm trying to assemble a mobile phone powered by FreeBSD. This soc seems to be the only option available given its performances and slenderness. But what I want to know is how compatible it is with FreeBSD. Are there some huge unfixed bugs ? Problems with HDMI or whatever ? thanks. -- Mario. Hi, I stumbled with Orange Pi SoCs for IoT / mobile phones though FreeBSD does not support it but only Linux and Android. http://www.orangepi.org/html/hardWare/computerAndMicrocontrollers/details/Orange-Pi-2G-IoT.html http://www.orangepi.org/html/hardWare/otherAccessories/details/orange-pi-Touch-Screen-For-2G-IOT.html http://www.orangepi.org/html/hardWare/computerAndMicrocontrollers/details/Orange-Pi-3G-IoT-A.html http://www.orangepi.org/html/hardWare/computerAndMicrocontrollers/details/Orange-Pi-3G-IoT-B.html http://www.orangepi.org/html/hardWare/computerAndMicrocontrollers/details/Orange-Pi-4G-IoT.html orbit -- Mario.
