Indeed. SBCs come and go. They are EOL before we even have a boot prompt. Personally I would like to see a joint effort focused on one board and make that work really well. Maybe an incentive would be the foundation throwing money at it in the form of rewards for well defined sub projects. The one most likely to survive longest is RPI but there might be other valid alternatives as well. Thanks to Emmanuel's efforts maybe Pine64 is a good alternative? I'm happy to help with graphics if we would do such focused effort but as long as we're all over the place I don't see much point in contributing with the limited time I have... Please note, this is not criticism in any way and I'm not trying to diminish the work developers do on these boards. Everyone is free to work on what they want. Question is, do we want a single board computer that's actually usable for something or only as tinker toys? Without direction, I'm afraid they will always be half working tinker toys due to the limited amount of developers we have. If anyone disagrees, I welcome your point of view. > > Disclaimer: I'm already grossly overcommitted, but of course if someone= > handed me a board, a set of specs, and a large check, anything could > happen :-) > > mcl > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-arm@freebsd.org mailing list > https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-arm > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-arm-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
