+
+A new project trying to make FreeBSD usable on the Pinephone Pro has been started during August.
+
+The current FreeBSD RELEASE images already boot on a Pinephone Pro, but no screen output or other devices are supported.
+The aim is to step by step support additional components so that the device one day might be usable as a highly mobile FreeBSD device.
+
+Over the last few weeks, the groundwork has been implemented like getting used to the device, cross-compiling and booting a 15.0-CURRENT custom kernel as well as toggling the LEDs (red/green/blue in the front).
+Also, the LCD backlight can be turned on already and the USB-C hub is enabled even though it is not yet functional due to missing power management support.
+
+The next step is to write a driver for the RK818 power management chip.
+Without it, most of the hardware will not power on like the USB-C port above. This will be done by trying to modify the existing RK808 driver.
+RK818 support should then make it possible to access a lot more of the devices, e.g. allowing to enable the screen, USB peripherals or WiFi.
+
+Additional feedback and testers are welcome.

+=== Containers and FreeBSD: Pot, Potluck and Potman

+Pot is a jail management tool that link:https://www.freebsd.org/news/status/report-2020-01-2020-03/#pot-and-the-nomad-pot-driver[also supports orchestration through Nomad].
+Potluck aims to be to FreeBSD and Pot (and potentially one day also Podman) what Dockerhub is to Linux and Docker: a repository of container descriptions and complete container images for usage with Pot and in many cases Nomad.
+
+During this quarter, there were two bugfixes to link:https://github.com/bsdpot/pot[Pot] that will be released soon.
+
+Potluck images saw some updates again.
+All images have been rebuilt again to include the latest fixes and quarterly packages. Additionally, some images like link:https://github.com/bsdpot/potluck/tree/master/loki[Loki] or link:https://github.com/bsdpot/potluck/tree/master/vault[Vault] have also received additional updates and bugfixes.
+
+Also, we have done some research regarding potential future support of OCI, Buildah and Podman images in Potluck.
+Two blog posts, one describing link:https://honeyguide.eu/posts/build-own-containers-buildah-podman-freebsd/[a basic Buildah and Podman setup] and one describing link:https://honeyguide.eu/posts/micropod-blog-post/[how to orchestrate Podman containers with Nomad and Consul] have been published.
+
+As always, feedback and patches are welcome.
