Perhaps the better USB dongle I have used is the EW-7711UAN. It uses the if_run(4) driver which is very stable and effectively is just one big antenna. That said, I would recommend using a USB extension cable to pull it slightly further away from the shielding of your metal PC tower itself...

By a quick glance at the product's webpage you linked and I'm not mistaken, this keyboard doesn't provide BT at all, but SPI Interface So besides the webpage also says it's sold out, and you need to find out if it's available elswhere or anyhow, you better look for if FreeBSD and your board...

I highly doubt that you will be able to wear out a USBed Optane on a Raspberry Pi even if you tried. It really depends on what you are doing. A firewall can be run readonly trivially (in fact I ran one on write-protected a 1.44 MB floppy). A mailserver I would estimate is not a wise thing to...

I have been running Raspberry Pis as firewalls for 10 years. Older ones boot from SD. But they have all run from a USB stick. In 20 Pi years, I have had one USB stick die. Admittedly they run Raspbian, not FreeBSD. I think the answer depends on the duty cycle and quality of the storage...

In general: configure your system to run from memory (it boots from flash, copies stuff needed into RAM, then runs from there), do not write log files to the flash device (if you need logs, look into remote syslog). Raspberry Pi 1's was / are notorious when it comes to eating SD / microSD...

What are some best practices for configuring a FreeBSD host to maximize media lifetimes when using inexpensive flash devices for the base system & pkgs? Backstory: for about 4 years, I've run 2 Raspberry Pis and 1 amd64 machine using (at different times on different machines) UFS-formatted USB...

The public documentation has been updated to include this known issue and this can now be closed as a result https://wiki.freebsd.org/action/login/arm/Raspberry%20Pi#Known_RPi_4_Issues Thank you all!

My main server at home has been running FreeBSD since about 2012. It has been installed 3 times: Once the original installation. Then I decided to reinstall it since I had skipped all upgrades from roughly version 8 to version 11, and a full install was going to be more efficient than a long...

I should just mention the behavior is the same on both Raspberry Pi serial console and the pinephone pro.

Is it possible to use PPP (point-to-point protocol) over UART, for example to connect a Raspberry Pi to a desktop computer by using UART to USB (FTDI) cable? I am trying to do something like this with my pinephone pro project: - From desktop, connect to USB serial using sudo cu -s 115200 -l...

By pure happenstance I read this (old) article on theregister.com about Chimera, a Linux that is not GNU/Linux. A quote from the article read: It is not exactly what you have in mind, but it is a mix between the two operating systems. The article is from 2023 and I do not know the current...

Is this something similar to this ? ---> View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TuDrmq4RQzU Im kinda having a hard time to understand this - but for me sounds like you just want Proxmox style of thing ?

Not that I'm aware of. I'm still using a USB to ethernet dongle.

Did freebsd allow drivers for the wifi versions of raspberry pi yet? That, to me, would shift my os. I am tired of debian influxing that embedded device.

I'm thinking something like having the Linux host on a RPi and having the raw data from devices as-is over to FreeBSD would be way-higher bandwidth than Ethernet could provide (Pi iirc is Gigabit); I'm not too sure if that's possible :p Remote desktop from the Pi to a different FreeBSD host...

Is the absolute number of drivers important? Or the type of driver? What kind of driver are you hinting at? For what sort of device? So wifi? A basic wifi/ethernet bridge is pretty cheap. Works with any OS. Probably works better than wifi on a pi too.

I have been thinking about the old problem of Linux having more drivers than BSDs. The drivers are, however, locked to the Linux kernel. Then I thought, has it been explored that one would run GNU/Linux just for the drivers using, for example, something like a Raspberry Pi (specifically, an x86...

Working sound, WiFi and a hardware accelerated graphics driver for Raspberry Pi 5. (A tier 1 platform, btw)
