I don't really have any kernel experience. I took interest in some basic
electronics, but I'm a sysadmin, I want to do it only for fun. I know
how to program, but didn't do anything related to kernel programming
(neither on OpenBSD nor any other OS). But since I've wanted to learn
OpenBSD for quite some time, I figured I would connect both (embedded
device programming and OpenBSD). But if there are no sources to learn
from (apart from source code), I guess I will stay with FreeBSD.
