+=== FreeBSD Driver Development for BananaPi-R64
+
+Contact: Martin Filla <freebsd@sysctl.cz>
+Wiki: https://wiki.freebsd.org/arm/Bananapi
+
+==== Introduction
+The Banana Pi R64 is a MediaTek MT7622-based development board (ARM Cortex-A53, dual-core ~1.35 GHz) featuring 4× Gigabit LAN, 1× Gigabit WAN, Wi-Fi (4×4n), Bluetooth 5.0, and multiple peripheral interfaces (UART, SPI, I²C, GPIO, SATA, mini-PCIe, eMMC, etc.).
+
+==== Current State of FreeBSD Support
+- Implemented so far:
+ * **UART driver**
+ * **Clock management (clocks)**
+ * **Pinctrl/gpio driver** – in active development gpio part
+
+Other essential components—Ethernet, USB, SATA, Wi-Fi, etc.—are not yet implemented.
+
+==== Technical Context and Significance
+Support for Banana Pi R64 in FreeBSD is in the early stages—UART and clocks drivers exist but ppl clock is under development, gpio is under development -- while most critical subsystems remain unimplemented.
+
+==== Development roadmap
+* Implement missing drivers
+ - Ethernet (GMAC ports)
+ - USB (XHCI/OTG)
+ - SATA / AHCI
+ - Storage controllers (eMMC/SD/MMC)
+ - Wi-Fi (likely MediaTek MT7615)
+ - GPIO subsystems
+
+==== Conclusion
+Support for Banana Pi R64 in FreeBSD is in the early stages—UART and clocks drivers exist but ppl clock is under develoment, gpio is under development—while most critical subsystems remain unimplemented. Publishing working code and artifacts, plus active collaboration with the FreeBSD community, will be essential to bring this board toward usable status under FreeBSD.
