I like what you have got. I'm interested in building a custom phone,powered
by FreeBSD. Most of the components have been found by you. What's missing ?
Personally I prefer a physical keyboard,like the blackberry one. And I
think there is the need to find a proper hardware with the driver supported
by freebsd. I don't know if it's easier to use a physical keyboard or a
touch screen with the driver attached freebsd compatible. What still misses
is a GSM / CDMA / HSPA / EVDO / LTE
<https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_note_3-5665.php#>; module for place
phone calls.sms and internet. What about the GPU ? Does your rockchip
rk3308 have a good GPU module integrated with the mobo ?
