Re: Beaglebone Black/Green/Blue support (volunteering)

"Suley", that's new! : p

yea, nbsd was already mentioned. as was obsd. as was linux... as possible alternatives. but hell eh

this is not all about all ancient hw either. 486 machines. isa cards. pcmcia. things like this. those indeed go to nbsd

but more recent. one could argue about recentness of 32bit arm tho

it was at least fun to help to push to support all hw in bbb.  now it's dead. i mean yes, it's old now. h3 is blazing fast compared to this. unless it's just code optimizing issue

but yeah, i can continue this. could still test bbb if needed

could do new hw too. in my limited knowledge

i don't likely become fbsd dev. not me. as in write c. "actually" do hw. but could do other things

at least aarch64 embedded hw would be bit longer lived in fbsd, no?

right now i have this h618 but need help getting current fit for it so i can test and report how it goes. boards for that are cheaper than rpi too sometimes, depending on config

then, lot of people have even been confused what i search for, even as a hobby. as somehow, os-independent even, common usage would be home router or desktop. and almost all rpi. if it's bigger, it's server, if smaller, it's uc. weird too

on the other hand, other type of users arent that hidden either. or maybe they are?

so i can't see myself bringing that h618, like on orange pi zero ... something board, into tree on my own, but it's good to to have that or something similarly configd/priced/available with fbsd support

hell knows what to think of, of all this anyway

of course getting wifi there is like pipe dream too i see. sdio doesn't get anywhere, there is whole one driver there iirc which basically does nothing?

and then there was this linux kernel compat for drivers in hope to extend hw support. maybe affects stability but maybe it's acceptable in some cases

so yeah fbsd is kiiiiind of difficult isn't it. in that area
