I know there are some patches available which at least get FreeBSD running but those have yet to be incorporated into the project's repository. This leaves me with the feeling that BBB support in FreeBSD is on the path to being dropped. Is there someone from the FreeBSD project that could speak directly to this? As a user it would be helpful to know if I should be searching of an alternate SBC platform or another OS for my projects. If it still remains the plan to keep supporting BBB into 14.0 and beyond then I'd like to know what work is missing to make that happen. I'm willing and able to help. Regards, George.
