My curiosity was if the frost and lime drivers may be compatible or not
with the mali gpu of the samsung  Galaxy A6 even it is a little different.
Thanks.

Any reply to the list to your material would be off<br>
subject for the thread. That may make it less likely<br>
that you would get a reply.<br>
<br>
You might want your own thread with samsung-galaxy-a6_i3655<br>
in the subject for the thread. It would not guarantee any<br>
activity but it would be less confusing than messing up<br>
a thread about the PinePhone Pro.<br>
<br>
I will note that I do not remember any prior discussion<br>
about booting FreeBSD on a samsung-galaxy (any model). It<br>
could be that no one has any experience with the phone that<br>
you picked or the SOC in the phone. A hint might be if there<br>
is a sysutils/u-boot-* port for the SOC involved vs. not. If<br>
not, then it is less likely that anyone will have any<br>
experience with what all is actually involved. (But it would<br>
not be a guarantee of the status.)<br>
