I am going to setup a new system on a BeagleBone Black, and I am wondering whether I want to stay with the 12-CURRENT-ARMv6 like my other setups, or whether it would be a good idea to install a 12-CURRENT-ARMv7. > > Questions: > would the ARMv7 flavor of FreeBSD run on a BeagleBone Black? Yes, Glen (gjb@) already made the switch for the releases snapshot for that. > if yes, will snapshots of 12-CURRENT-ARMv7 be available for the BeagleBone in a foreseeable future? See above. > can I expect any advantages (disadvantages) from the ARMv7 architecture compared to the ARMv6 one? Maybe not right now but with packages/ports stuff dealt by Mark Linimon, mmel@ and miki yes probably. > if there are no plans for BBB ARMv7 snapshots, would it be worth the efforts to build a ARMv7 BBB system from sources? > Please don't take this as a demand, I am only curious. > > Many thanks for any advise. > > Best regards > > Rolf > > _______________________________________________ > 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" -- Emmanuel Vadot
