Thank you Bernd I did not know this one, will take a look :-) I have zfs pool sliced into system, less important, and more important stuff. For the important stuff I have cron set to snap everyday, and weekly for the rest :-) Before system modification I usually snap by hand. But I do some stuff everyday so that would be lost :-) In addition to standard Linuxlator (using Centos packages) I was playing once with LinuxJails (using Ubuntu Bionic packages) that is supposed to support all Open-Source-but-Linux-Only multimedia stuff. I wanted to mount my BSD home and use it with LinuxJails with newly added user, but Linux's adduser staid "I can see some home directory but with no user so I will happily remove it without asking". Luckily /home/user was symlink to /usr/local/home/user to nothing was lost, but the /home/user was really gone goodbye. Since then I started periodic snaps ;-) > > kconfig-frontends port for FreeBSD is ready: > > > > https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=259256 > > Amazing work as a whole, not just the single port. > I did a few local hacks to get things running and only for arm. Thank you :-) I did here MCS51, AVR, ARM and Xtensa (ESP32), bare metal, FreeRTOS, ARM MBED, Zephyr RTOS, even HAM RADIO :-) Now its time for RISC-V + NuttX ROTS.. and it works already! :-) As a rule I use FreeBSD only as my system of choice for over 10 years, even if this required some additional work, this pushes things forward. Recently I gathered some information on FreeBSD WIKI feel free to edit :-) https://wiki.freebsd.org/electronics The only thing I did not run with success so far on FreeBSD are the FPGA tools (Xilinx, Altera, Lattice, etc), they partially work but its more distraction than real work. Enforced changes and each Linux is different, forget about maintenance and compatibility (there are still libc/glibc problems there like it was 1998). Recently Open-Source FPGA Foundation showed up, and the Yosys makes some interesting stuff, so maybe things will change in upcoming years. Lattice for instance released cheap small FPGA family that may be used for dedicated high-speed control for a few $ :-) When you want to get GPIO above several MHz FPGA is essential. Also the RISC-V is a game changer in the MCU/CPU/FPGA world. Lots of cool diy devel boards are also available now to play with below $100 or even $50 :-) https://osfpga.org/ https://github.com/os-fpga https://github.com/YosysHQ Have a good day folks :-) -- CeDeROM, SQ7MHZ, http://www.tomek.cedro.info
