this is OpenBSD 7.9 installed to an USB stick on RK3588-powered MNT Pocket Reform. the display was set up by the @barebox bootloader for which i commissioned @ailurux to port the RK3588 DSI etc display drivers. the framebuffer is passed to OpenBSD via EFI GOP, the rest it can do itself. there's no GPU acceleration, but the CPUs are strong enough for oldschool 2D desktops and it's quite snappy to use.

some interesting tidbits:

- CPU performance can be manually adjusted, i.e. using "apm -H"
- there's no audio yet, maybe missing driver for TI TLV320AIC3100. could use USB audio?
- it doesn't see the NVMe yet, but the Intel AX210 Wi-Fi on PCIe works fine!
- mainboard RTC doesn't work yet (pcfrtc0 failed to read reg2)

but it's a lot of fun to explore this system and i'm happy that we have an alternative to Linux now. i hope some OpenBSD community members can help sanding off the edges.
