i've had this pinephone pro for a few months now and finally got around
to attempting to boot FreeBSD on it. Here's the phone:

I needed to get this serial console adapter which works flawlessly with "cu"
(USB TTL Serial Adapter Converter Cable 3.3v/3v3 3.5mm Stereo Jack Cable):

then i just downloaded the latest CURRENT snapshot and put it on a
microsd card and it booted into multi-user mode. here's the dmesg:

i am working on building a new image now to include the pinephone pro
DTB file from Linux to see if that improves some of the hardware
detection. certainly a long way to go before this could be a useful
mobile device, but i'm very encouraged that i can actually boot the thing.
i suspect we'll need to use iwlwifi to get the AzureWave AW-CM256SM wifi
and bluetooth card working...
But, once i get the linux DTB for this guy into a disk image i'm going
to see if i can get the display up next, but would love to hear any
input or pointers from folks with more ARM porting experience than me.
thanks!
