Just got a Pinebook, and I'm interested in experimenting with it, and potentially BSD. Since the sources I've found seem to be scarce - shat's the current status of hardware support in May 2019? This post - https://blog.netbsd.org/tnf/entry/pinebook - states that not all cores are useable, and ifi requires an external dongle. Is this still true? Also - where can I find more info?
And - if these problems still persist - where and how could I start contributing to a potential fix? I have some interest in OS dev, and this might be an interesting project. I have little experience as of yet with it (have mostly done some web dev), but am willing to start learning.
Check out the port-arm mailing list https://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-arm/ and search for "pinebook status update" threads.
