Fantastic, congratulations and big thanks to all that made this happen.
I was outspokenly grumpy when the news came out that this wasn’t happening, now I’m so pleased it is.

I remember when it was x86 only. Free=best x86, open=crazy security and docs nuts, net=runs on university toaster.
Times have changed!

Wait, so does this mean FreeBSD will work better on a raspberry pi without having to hack on your config files just to get it to recognize all available RAM? I’ve got FreeBSD running on a rpi4—took some doing. It would be nice to just slap an image on it and have it work.

What does this mean for the different devices? Will more be supported? I’ve got a cubietruck and a pinebook pro...

I’m glad to see this b/c I had a good experience with the RPI3 on FreeBSD but a terrible experience trying to get the RPI4 running on FreeBSD. I think I will still have to use a dongle to run the RPIs on FreeBSD which isn’t great but hopefully the overall setup will be easier

so awesome seeing freebsd adapting.

It'd be nice if this was a stepping stone towards (the BSD-based) TrueNAS (formerly known as FreeNAS) coming to arm64/AArch64.

semi-kinda blob and blob-like exterality depending on rpi4, black magic to make things work with 8gb, nothing insurmountable but I kind of wish in the future some rpi8 doesn't inherit this risk. Absolutely awesome news and welcome news.
