Btw, it has almost nothing to do with the FreeBSD itself, but I recently
received PineTime (both sealed one and a devkit) as a gift and can say
that it's quite good in terms of PCB/assembling quality. Their FreeRTOS-based
OS works surprisingly good as well. If the PinePhone Pro is similar,
it's worth bringing FreeBSD there.

+1 for notes kept at wiki.freebsd.org
