Hello guys, I have an Odroid C2 that I'm not using right now with SD card (without eMMC). but I have basically no skills right now about recompiling FreeBSD for arm. So if you want to send me your experimental images and test them for you, just drop me a line, I will be glad to help you. Regards, Giovanni 2017-04-26 15:00 GMT+03:00 O.
