[-- Attachment #1 --] That's interesting. As I have already said,I haven't bought the pinephone pro,because it is expensive for me. So I'm working on a parallel project. I've bought this phone,instead : https://www.hdblog.it/schede-tecniche/samsung-galaxy-a6_i3655/ That's cheaper. Between the specs I read that it has a mali gpu,too : Mali-T830MP2 so,eventually,I can use the Lima and the PanFrost driver even for my samsung galaxy A6 ? I've started planning to install FreeBSD on top of the Android Kernel,using a specific patch,but now I'm thinking that maybe,I can install FreeBSD there natively. Can someone tell me if it is doable,giving a look at the specs of that phone model ? thanks.
