For a l= ong while now CURRENT has not been working on the BBB due to incompatible up= stream changes in vendor DTS files. I know there are some patches available w= hich at least get FreeBSD running but those have yet to be incorporated into= the project's repository.

This leaves me w= ith the feeling that BBB support in FreeBSD is on the path to being dropped.= Is there someone from the FreeBSD project that could speak directly to this= ?

As a user it would be helpful to know if I= should be searching of an alternate SBC platform or another OS for my proje= cts.

If it still remains the plan to keep s= upporting BBB into 14.0 and beyond then I'd like to know what work is missin= g to make that happen. I'm willing and able to help.
