Is it known not to run, or merely untested? It looks like every Pine device needs a different configuration. At $200 it is tempting to get one to experiment on. Maybe after my current time sink ends in a few weeks. The original message (subject line) reflects a misunderstanding of what "Tier 1" means. It means the FreeBSD team will try hard not to break rack mount servers. Tier 1 status doesn't make FreeBSD any more suited to phones than Tier 2 status. It doesn't add device or CPU support. See all the difficulties with Raspberry Pi. It doesn't add a UI for a small screen. The potabi PinePhone project by its own admission hasn't accomplished anything but starting a UI design. But maybe by end of year we can have something that works when plugged into a power supply. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-arm To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
