If I'm worried about energy usage, I doubt I had to follow your suggestions. If this data, I found on the web is correct, an idle P4 consumes more than a Raspberry Pi 5 at full power: 70W vs 10W. During compilation a P4 will consume 130W, and the compilation times will be longer than on the...

Sure, since the most impactful open-source projects are old and evergreen. Such as SDL, busybox, Vim, etc. Lindy's Law tends to predict open-source lifecycles quite well. It also suggests that the oldest software in use today will be the most likely to remain alive for another 20 years. A...

Then a P4 ?

I tried now to compile SDL3 and vim, under FreeBSD quarterly ports, on a cloud host, using some unspecified shared AMD Epyc CPU. I limited the jail to one single CPU. SDL3 required 55 seconds (only the build, the configure part was probably longer). vim required 118s. Using all the 4 cores...

I don't believe a legacy platform has any bearing on open-source development. Much of the code underlying open-source is much older than a P4. A P4 would still provide a stronger development environment than a modern Raspberry Pi. Especially since C long ago solved the gap between porting to...

I was Arch for many years. I liked AUR for the availability of Linux kernel modules for many materials that where not in the default kernel of the Arch but, I became tired of the intrusif Systemd and migrate to VoidLinux and Runit that I find simple to understand as unit 1. In plus I have...

Does aarch64 have a FreeBSD-kernel-generic-nodebug pkg available? I like running CURRENT, but on a RPi4 didn't notice a nodebug pkg available on 16.0.

ArduPilot does not require an Arduino. For my testing I used a SPEDIX F405 flight controller. One thing that is nice about ArduPilot is that the same hardware can be used for different vehicle types. The firmware determines whether the controller operates as a copter, plane, rover, etc.For...

Seeming pretty good! Was trying Linux earlier, but ran into a systemd timer firing after reboot because of RTC (OS update script with reboot, so it'd run the timer after reboot, reboot in a few mins, and loop); I heard cron handled no RTC better :D Still working good days later, and now...

# freebsd-version ; uname -a 15.0-RELEASE-p9 FreeBSD S3RV3D85D 15.0-RELEASE-p9 FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE-p9 GENERIC arm64 I'm new to BSD, but I've used linux off and on since ~2003. I'm trying to build a headless NAS with the Pi4, using ZFS, which requires me to get away from Linux, to do it...

I understand that. Just wanted to share my extremely bad experiences with Realtek. No so much with Mediatek, but Mediatek issues are alsmost always caused by higher operating temperature. If the cooling is sufficient, it will work fine. Understandable. I would go with Intel based device even if...

This device will be used for experiments only. A Raspberry Pi with 16GB (plus case and SSD) costs 3x and this AMD box is 4x faster. It also has 2 2.5G Ethernet ports.

I have been using rtl_433 to for years to get data from 433 MHz sensors (mainly temperature and / or moisture) into Home Assistant. It does so by sending the sensor data to a mqtt server (running on the same machine as Home Assistant). Both have always been running on small SBCs. The Home...

What do you see from the interface counters ? $ sysctl hw.rp1_eth.mac_drv.stats

The network interface is not working. I have a raspberry pi 5 D0 16GB EEPROM update from 2026.05.11 root@core:~ # freebsd-version 15.0-RELEASE-p9 Setting up the UEFI System table mode: Both The bcm2712_pcie.ko rp1_eth.ko modules load normally. DHCP does not work, the address is not assigned...

Here's the kernel config I'm testing against, built with FreeBSD-CURRENT pulled early April some time. My guess is your kernel is missing FDT support or maybe FreeBSD-15 and that's missing something FDT critical. # # RPI5 -- Raspberry Pi 5 optimized kernel configuration for FreeBSD/arm64 # #...

Thanks, tingo, your RPi's bootcode size looks similar to my newly built loader.efi, so I used that one (under the name bootaa64.efi). The DTBs are lokated in /boot/efi/dtb here, rather than in a separate partition. This is a RockPi board. Tell you what, the newly copied (smaller :-)) loader...

I think your EFI partition looks good. This is from my Raspberry Pi 5: root@devpi5:~ # ls -l /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/ total 848 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 853788 Dec 7 20:16 bootaa64.efi which is running root@devpi5:~ # freebsd-version -ku 14.4-RELEASE-p3 14.4-RELEASE-p3 Some of the non-x86 boards...

I use (actually, used, the dongle died) a cheap RTL2832U dongle with rtl_433 to read all my wireless 433 MHz sensors (mostly temperature and moisture). I ran this under Linux on an old Raspberry Pi 3B+ for a long time. I have ordered a new dongle, when it comes, I shall reinstall that Raspberry...

ethernet, not wifi. But still cool.
