It was mentioned that support for armv7 was being dropped (or at least it was a consideration) in the current version(s) of FreeBSD. I've built 12.4 and have it running on a BBG; I'm currently building 13.4 to see where it breaks -- I've been told moving to current would be the best way to "revive" support for this board. I'd like to do what I can to help keep them included as a viable and supported platform. Bare-metal/VxWorks/FreeRTOS C coder by day, so the real challenge is learning the build environment. Not many hours/wk to dedicate to it, but I'll do what I'm able. Thanks to FUZxx on freebsd.dev for pointing out this list. --- Zach (__sbrk)
