I ordered one from element14 this morning. No ETA when it will arrive. =46rom= what I've read recent versions of NOOBS or Raspbian will run on it. So I t= hink you can run a 32-bit OS on the RPI3, which would mean you could run the= current version of FreeBSD on the RPI3. It's not entirely clear to me. I q= uote from the website: "At launch, we are using the same 32-bit Raspbian userland that we use on ot= her Raspberry Pi devices; over the next few months we will investigate wheth= er there is value in moving to 64-bit mode." They only talk about userland and not the about the kernel. But from my lim= ited knowledge of ARMv8, I think it's possible. I doubt that FreeBSD would support WiFi and Bluetooth out the gate.
