Hi,

Nice project. Just to mention that FreeBSD was apparently successfully
installed in a pinephone (https://mastodon.social/@tobykurien/113779792572310611)

All the best

Hello to everyone.

I'm trying to create a mobile phone with the look and feel of the Black Berry and with FreeBSD as an OS. This is the tutorial that I want to use as a base :


as you can see he used this display :


As soon as I saw it,I fell in love. I want to use that display for my DiY phone. Problem is that I don't know if some code has been written as a driver to turn it on. To be honest I'm not even sure about which board to use. FreeBSD does not work well with the Arm low end boards.

I know that I want a slim phone. Do you have a board that you would recommend me to use ?

Furthermore,the display should "match" well with the board,because I'm not able to write a single piece of code.

I can accept a not finished piece of code,because if there is not much work to do is not much,I can start a crowdfunding campaign to raise the money and finish the job.

Everything is geared to linux so you must translate. I want to understand if I have all the pieces needed.

Starting here:
github.com

hyperpixel4/src/hyperpixel4-overlay.dts at pi4 · pimoroni/hyperpixel4

I would like to know if some FreeBSD developer is working on these compatible chipset :

compatible = "brcm,bcm2835";
compatible = "goodix,gt911";

Can someone share some relevant information about some useful piece of code,links,that I can explore to understand if it is worth investing my time and money on that display ?

Anyway,I don't want to use the oblong displays used by the Android smartphone. That form factor is abused.

If the display that I found is not good,I will continue searching for displays that have the same squared form factor.
