I thought about buying one, but that SoC is from another architecture
team at NXP which means that we'd need to another stack of drivers just
to support the SoC used there.  Though with ACPI some things might get
easier.

So, as of now, I don't think there's a chance OpenBSD runs on that LX2K
hardware, unless someone from us gets such a machine and starts writing
support for it.

For future reference, the more specific place to ask is a...@openbsd.org
and the places to see before asking are:

For now, the LX2K looks less likely to run OpenBSD than any of the
documented targets of OpenBSD/arm64, there is one offering from SolidRun
which is a good sign:

Solid-Run's HoneyComb LX2K for OpenBSD

2019-12-06 Thread VanL


Hello,

How good are the chances of the 'HoneyComb LX2K' running OpenBSD?  [1]

Noone has uploaded an entry for '*BSD dmesgs' to NYC*BUG [2].

A result from searching for OpenBSD and 'HoneyComb LX2K' misses the mark
by landing on the pine64 forum.  [3]


Thanks in advance.



-VanL.
