Hello, I saw the first ARMv7 snapshot images (Pandaboard and Hummingboard) = arrived on the FreeBSD ftp server. AFAIK, the BBB is ARMv7 as well. 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? if yes, will snapshots of 12-CURRENT-ARMv7 be available for the = BeagleBone in a foreseeable future? can I expect any advantages (disadvantages) from the ARMv7 architecture = compared to the ARMv6 one? 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
