The future for support of BeagleBone Black and its variants

[George Abdelmalik]

Hi all,

For a long while now CURRENT has not been working on the BBB due to 
incompatible upstream changes in vendor DTS files. I know there are some 
patches available which at least get FreeBSD running but those have yet 
to be incorporated into the project's repository.

This leaves me with the feeling that BBB support in FreeBSD is on the 
path to being dropped. Is there someone from the FreeBSD project that 
could speak directly to this?

As a user it would be helpful to know if I should be searching of an 
alternate SBC platform or another OS for my projects.

If it still remains the plan to keep supporting BBB into 14.0 and beyond 
then I'd like to know what work is missing to make that happen. I'm 
willing and able to help.

Regards,
George.
