[-- Attachment #1 --] ---> Pete Wright said : certainly a long way to go before this could be a useful mobile device... I agree with that,for this reason I'm trying to follow another route. Enabling KVM on a semi-old android phone (I've just found the right one) or even on my old ARM chromebook or my old tablet Nexus 10 and I will try to virtualize FreeBSD on top of Android or Linux installed there with qemu + kvm. Furthermore,I can't buy the pinephone pro,it is too expensive for me. Maybe I could buy the pinephone (not the pro version) later,but I've read that it's not good enough to do experiments with FreeBSD. And therefore there is a small group of developers who are making experiments with the pro version. If I buy the "normal" version I may be cut out from their results. It's not a good idea to remain alone.
