What could be done to get some pro= gress at this topic ? >=20 FreeBSD is getting close to releasing 10.0, so right now we can't make major changes to the source base, only fixes and changes that tend to stabilize things for the upcoming release. Overall it's a great way to get a solid release on existing platforms, but it's a bit hard to work with right now in the ARM world where we have a lot of innovation happening and suddenly we can't check in anything for a few weeks. I've got USB up and running on my solo, btw, and I'm working on some clock-and-power support that's a bit less of a hack than the ugly stuff I did to get the board to boot at all. In a few days I think I'll be able to publish a patchset anyone can use, even if I can't check it in for a while. =20 I also ordered a wandboard quad, so in a couple weeks I'll have figured out what things I've foolishly done in a imx6-solo-specific way and rework them to work right on the whole imx6 family. -- Ian > >>> My second question is, is there developing planned for the new / co= mming > >>> Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 edition) with the Exynos 5420 > >>=20 > >>=20 > >> As for Exynos, iirc we have basic support of Exynos 5250 (arndale bo= ard), I > >> don't know how that is different than 5420. > >> But please note that if I'm correct we don't have FreeBSD with graph= ics > >> running yet on any tablet. > >>=20 > >> Correct me if I'm wrong here. > >>=20 > >> Ganbold >=20 > The product is not out now but sounds interesting. When is it expected = to have FreeBSD with graphics on a tablet (if ever - same question as abo= ve, what could be done) ? The graphic part is not the topic for now ... I= do at the moment many XeLaTeX and Haskell / Hakyll stuff in the terminal= with Vim ... the other things could be done on a second machine. >=20 > Regards, >=20 > C.
