FreeBSD- any progress?

#1

I am considering purchase of the Orion O6.
What is holding me back is lack of information on software progress. I noticed back in January 2025 that some attempts to make FreeBSD run. Then silence.

On the FreeBSD arm email list in January:
https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-arm/2025-January/

There have been no further email posts or any indication of progress.
Is their some information about how FreeBSD is working on O6?

I was able to install FreeBSD-CURRENT on a USB-SSD with ZFS root and run make buildworld.
PCIe is not working yet, but there is a patch.

As soon as the patch is merged, I will build the environment on the NVMe SSD again.
