Re: FreeBSD on the Framework Laptop (AMD Ryzen 7 7840U w/ Radeon 780M Graphics)

Hello all,

I just finished publishing some new updates to the page. Since the last update I’ve switched from14.2-RELEASEto14-STABLEto better help with development and get a better look at the state of the branch and help prevent regressions. So far everything is still working fine. I also switched back to myIntel AX210card and can confirm that it’s working fine as well and can connect to 2.4 and 5 ghz networks in my home. Lastly, I’ve also expanded the scope of my documentation on this laptop to start including typical things people would normally want. I’m currently usingsway(wayland) so all of my instructions are from that perspective, and have added (or currently have) easy instructions for getting the following things to work (assuming you are using the same hardware as me):

- Touchpad (Tapping / Scrolling / Right Click)
- Volume and Brightness Management
- Lid Control
- Locking and Idle Management
- Wifi
- Bluetooth
- GNOME Keyring Integration (Thunar/GVFS/SAMBA/CIFS) and ssh-agent

and even optimization settings for an easy and relatively basicpourdrieresetup, which can be found in the “Compiling ports via poudriere” section.

I hope this can help more folks out there get and nice, smooth, and minimalistic FreeBSD setup. Please customize to your taste!

I've been maintaining the FreeBSD on the Framework Laptop (11th Gen) blog post since 2022 (I got my 11th gen on Dec 2021 - Batch 6). Last year around November I upgraded from the 11th gen Intel to the AMD Ryzen 7 7840U), at that time I wasn't able to get FreeBSD working on it so I have to switch to another OS in the meantime. A few weeks ago I was able to successfully come back to FreeBSD on this AMD Mainboard after some folks poked me a bit ;D.

Here you will find the latest hardware support for the AMD Ryzen 7 7840U on 14.2-RELEASE-p2. I have stable/14​ built as well and most likely will run that as my daily to help with development. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
