 unsungNovelty | Hi all,
Quick question. Can I load wifi driver in FreeBSD using Linux compatibility layer for raspberrypi5? | 15:19:53 |

Hi all,
Quick question. Can I load wifi driver in FreeBSD using Linux compatibility layer for raspberrypi5? I doubt it will work like That | 02:00:39 |

Hi all,
Quick question. Can I load wifi driver in FreeBSD using Linux compatibility layer for raspberrypi5? No. It's for userland emulation only | 08:21:33 |

Hi all,
Quick question. Can I load wifi driver in FreeBSD using Linux compatibility layer for raspberrypi5? Possibly. LinuxKPI allows Linux Intel WiFi drivers to run in the kernel. Otherwise you might have better luck with the WiFiBox package, which runs a hacked Linux in userspace and uses its drivers to do WiFi | 11:15:30 |

If raspberry pi doesnt support, which SBC can I buy? Which one is fully supported and is equivalent to rpi5?
Any suggestions? | 12:12:12 |
 Keijø | Get a used thinkcentre or a dell wyse 5070 arm is a mess | 12:13:39 |
 think ~ $ | Based. My M720q costs pretty much the same amount as RPi 5 | 12:22:27 |
| Keijø changed their display name from Keijø -> offline to Keijø. | 12:30:34 |

| Keijø | The boot chain and firmware implementations are | 11:03:22 |
| Keijø | Heck, the whole GL/GLX stack is a hack. Least it was up to RPi4. Idk if it conforms to DRI on RPi5 on Linux now, let alone on BSD. | 11:06:32 |
| Keijø | I once had a talk about this and 10 years later not much changed | 11:03:54 |
| Keijø | The architecture itself is great, it’s just that hardware vendors are as clueless as ever and there is no real standard for anything. | 11:09:29 |
| Keijø | I don’t know about current gen raspberry pi support, I’ve only checked out Raspberry Pi Model B support, the original one.
It was very picky about the SD card you used and it wasn’t very great, not many packages were precompiled back then either. Overall both Linux and BSD are a terrible experience on Raspberry Pis if you want to run anything other than Raspbian. Even on Linux there are hax on top of hax on top of hax which are not upstreamed. | 11:05:50 |

Get a used thinkcentre or a dell wyse 5070 arm is a mess arm is a mess is ARM architecture itself a mess,
or are *BSD on ARM a mess,
or both? | 10:59:27 |
| Keijø | Like the raspberry pi brings up the GPU first and then it brings up the CPU cores which is pretty fucking weird (even in the ARM world) if you ask me but hey nobody cares.
It’d be easier if everything just had UEFI. It’s easier to handle broken UEFI implementations than with so many boot chains at once. | 11:16:16 |
|  Sphinx666 changed their display name from rimpossible to Sphinx666. | 20:06:24 |
 abyxcos | RasPi itself is a mess with that GPU boot to prevent Broadcom from having to open up any CPU firmware. ARM isn't so bad, but there's basically negative documentation around it. I prefer it to EFI/UEFI though. | 23:11:03 |

 yifei | RPi 4 is different and you put UEFI on it. I do that for booting OpenBSD. | 03:06:20 |
