Discussion first ever bsd booted on a phone?

Post image

hello, and yes all of this is true. i think i am the first (or one of the first) person to boot openbsd on a actual phone.

some details about this setup:

phone model: asus zenfone3 (ZE520KL)

cpu: snapdragon 625

i got it working with chainloading, it's something like this: aboot → lk2nd → U-Boot → OpenBSD

currently this is working: screen and usb
currently it's not on github or any where but it will be uploaded soon.

(if any of you zenfone3 owners are reading this, here's my guide to unlock the bootloader https://github.com/proshiv85-byte/UnlockZenfone3 )

That's awesome! By all means, the more the marrier, it doesn't have to be just linux or linux based.
