Yes. > Is there any need for hardware donations to implement support? That always helps. > E.g. of ITX-3588J (https://www.firefly.store/goods.php?id=161 , > https://en.t-firefly.com/product/industry/itx3588j ). > > Should it be trivial to make OpenBSD work on it considering RK3399 > is already supported? Trivial no, but it should help. Often the biggest stumbling block is proper u-boot support for these boards. The vendor-supplied firmware is often based on some ancient fork that can't boot OpenBSD. Some board vendors are better about this than others. > https://www.cnx-software.com/2022/03/12/249-rockchip-rk3588-8k-mini-pc-16gb-ram/ > > https://www.cnx-software.com/2022/01/09/rock5-model-b-rk3588-single-board-computer/ > > https://ameridroid.com/products/rock5-model-b > > https://www.tomshardware.com/news/quartzpro64-board-rk3588 >
