Companies and business are building on top of RBPI. The board has a good = price/performance=20 for a number of tasks and recently has started to be adopted even more = for industrial usage.=20 That means paying jobs. We should grow our support by directly using = FreeBSD on RBPI boards=20 on commercial space. We should as well move ARM64 (aarch64) to Tier 1 = supported OS, at some=20 point of time. At Kronometrix Analytics Finland we have selected FreeBSD as our main OS = for ARM and x64=20 and left Debian. www.kronometrix.com =20 Stefan
