"Suley", that's new! : p

yea, nbsd was already mentioned=2E as was obsd=2E as was linux=2E=2E=2E as=
 possible alternatives=2E but hell eh

this is not all about all ancient hw either=2E 486 machines=2E isa cards=
=2E pcmcia=2E things like this=2E those indeed go to nbsd

but more recent=2E one could argue about recentness of 32bit arm tho

it was at least fun to help to push to support all hw in bbb=2E  now it's =
dead=2E i mean yes, it's old now=2E h3 is blazing fast compared to this=2E =
unless it's just code optimizing issue

but yeah, i can continue this=2E could still test bbb if needed

could do new hw too=2E in my limited knowledge

i don't likely become fbsd dev=2E not me=2E as in write c=2E "actually" do=
 hw=2E 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 c=
an test and report how it goes=2E 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 h=
obby=2E as somehow, os-independent even, common usage would be home router =
or desktop=2E and almost all rpi=2E if it's bigger, it's server, if smaller=
, it's uc=2E weird too

on the other hand, other type of users arent that hidden either=2E or mayb=
e they are?

so i can't see myself bringing that h618, like on orange pi zero =2E=2E=2E=
 something board, into tree on my own, but it's good to to have that or som=
ething 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=2E sdio doesn't =
get anywhere, there is whole one driver there iirc which basically does not=
hing?

and then there was this linux kernel compat for drivers in hope to extend =
hw support=2E maybe affects stability but maybe it's acceptable in some cas=
es

so yeah fbsd is kiiiiind of difficult isn't it=2E in that area
