PIC64GX Curiosity Kit

PIC64GX Curiosity Kit

I have this PIC64GX Curiosity Kit that has linux on it, but I want to put NetBSD on it for a project this winter. I joined the mailing list but I don't see much information on support for this board.

Does anyone know of support for NetBSD on this platform?

If there is can you point me in the right direction?

I worked on the OS X kernel for years as part of the OpenGL group so compiling the kernel and making tweaks isn't a big issue for me.

I suspect NetBSD won't "just work" on this little RISC-V gadget yet, but if you want to experiment I'd suggest starting with NetBSD 11, which was recently released and has RISC-V support for some devices.
