FreeBSD begins porting efforts to the PinePhone Pro |
 |
When people think about FreeBSD they usually picture servers or massive network-attached storage pools. It's not often the venerable operating system is associated with mobile devices. At least one developer is working to change this. In FreeBSD's latest Quarterly Report one of the key areas being worked on is porting FreeBSD to the PinePhone Pro: "The next steps are to enable UEFI-based framebuffer support to enable output to the screen, and to enable USB on-the-go functionality, which might allow for plugging in a USB keyboard and/or Ethernet. Porting the Linux driver for WiFi will also be looked into. Any developers wanting to assist are encouraged to get in touch. Additional feedback and testers are welcome." The report also dicusses improvements to the package manager, updates to several key ports, and efforts to better supports laptop computers. |
