Hey there folks - I recently acquired a Pinephone Pro as well as the Keyboard/Battery case option they sell: https://www.pine64.org/pinephonepro/ https://pine64.com/product/pinephone-pinephone-pro-keyboard-case/ I especially like the Keyboard as it will probably make my on call rotations easier while I'm out running errands. That's the theory at least. I've gotten Linux (postmarketOS) up on it, and it seems OK and will probably be my daily driver OS. It certainly has quite a few warts to be honest, which is surprising because I assumed things would be a bit more polished with all the attention linux gets. Regardless, I would be keen to test out and help if possible getting FreeBSD support on it. My plan is to start with the PINE64 image on a flashed memory card and see how it goes. Hopefully by finding what the quirks are on Linux will be helpful resolving issues on the FreeBSD side. Not expecting a fully featured device out of the gate, but will probably focus first on getting the keyboard and wifi stack up first if possible. There even a userspace keyboard driver here which may be better than the linux-kernel driver: https://xff.cz/git/pinephone-keyboard/about/ So my question is - is the PINE64 the right image to use? Anyone else tried this and able to share tweaks or docs they used to get things moving? Cheers! -Pete -- Pete Wright pete@nomadlogic.org @nomadlogicLA
