The best people can afford without being in ARM's R&D centers.
Let me tell you what is going to happen. ARM11 has been around for years, it will take you a year or two to complete the project, nice, hacker thrill, you did it. However, by the time you release it, the Raspberry Pi will be sold-out and will be replaced by an ARMv7 core, smaller, faster, eventually cheaper. By that time, the current technology will be a 64bits MP-core ARMv8, And you will be in the exact same situation as today, FreeBSD lagging one or two generation behind Linux, keep up. Now, I agree, no battle is lost if there one fool to fight for it. - Arnaud _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
