freeBSD is booted on pinephone pro with console output - zetabeta - 01-06-2025

freeBSD is booted on pinephone pro with console output.

this is very initial achievement, but i welcome this move. i think pinephone models should have other operating system options than linux based ones.

This is awesome!

It's kind of embarrassing that NetBSD isn't already working but I can only assume that's because nobody has tried. I wish I could afford one. I'd sure try it.

I was about to post here but you beat me to it @zetabeta ! I'm the one working on this port. For those interested, the repo is here:

https://codeberg.org/Honeyguide/freebsd-pinephonepro

Still need to support WiFi and USB keyboard or some touchscreen interface before it's actually usable on it's own, so I'll be working on those. Testers/contributors are welcome to get in touch with me.

Awesome, I keep waiting BSD run on PinePhone, Pinebook, and Pinetab2 device for a long time. Now finally starts happening.

A video of someone running NetBSD on the original Pinebook was what brought me here. I'd otherwise never heard of Pine 64.
