About the panfrost driver (kernel module) for DragonFlyBSD...

[Michael Neumann]

Hi,

Dragonfly is x86_64 architecture only, so you won't have any luck with most mobile devices which are based on ARM architecture. You might want give NetBSD (or OpenBSD) a try, though graphics is usually where things start to get messy.

If you can afford Intel/AMD architecture, there are a few hardware options for embedded systems, though usually they are significantly more pricy than ARM. Dragonfly might not be the best choice for mobile platforms anyways as it is not optimized for power-saving. FreeBSD might not be the perfect choice either.

Regards,

Michael
