Thank you Greg for the reference point! :-)

I bought rPI0-2W as only the 2W variant has support for 64-bit OS and
supports running FreeBSD.. this is second generation of rPI0 (and uses
different SoC than predecessor rPI0 or rPI0-W/WH).. but there is a
problem with DTS files that needs to be by-hand updated with specific
setup and specific versions.. so I did not even manage to run this
board yet on a quick 5 minutes check from a GENERIC pre-built FreeBSD
image.. thus my question to Matteo on DTS files experiences mine are
poor :D

I found these sites useful for comparison of models and rPI CPUs:
1. https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/processors.html
2. https://raspians.com/raspberry-pi-models-comparison/

It seems this rPI0-2W is closer to rPI3 rather than rPI4. Anyways it
is very nice to see NuttX going step by step towards big CPU/SoC like
ARM Cortex-A and RISC-V RV64 :-)

The common problem with all those modern SoC are the low-level
peripheral drivers - vendors does not really seem to care to provide
OS/RTOS agnostic license free drivers that could be easily integrated
to different projects so each OS/RTOS need to develop their own code
from scratch..
