FreeBSD 14.0 RELEASE does not support the RK3588 SoC, but thanks to Tianocore EDKII UEFI it is possible to use different operating systems, including FreeBSD. It was necessary to add a USB 2.0 driver for ACPI mode and fix the operation of the UART driver in this mode.
And now FreeBSD can be run on OrangePi 5 Plus from an SD card. The OS itself does not yet have a driver for an SD card and eMMC, but the system can be installed on a USB FLASH or NVMe SSD.
HDMI, USB 2.0, USB 3.0, NVMe, Ethernet will work.
You can try installing FreeBSD on OrangePi 5 Plus.

Pine64 initially operated as Pine Microsystems Inc. (Fremont, California), founded by TL Lim, the inventor of the PopBox and Popcorn Hour series of media players sold under the Syabas and Cloud Media brands.
In 2015 Pine Microsystems offered its first product, the Pine A64, a single-board computer designed to compete with the popular Raspberry Pi in both power and price. The A64 was first funded through a Kickstartercrowdfunding drive in December 2015 which raised over $1.7 million. The Kickstarter project was overshadowed by delays and shipping problems. The original Kickstarter page referred to the Pine64 Inc. based in Delaware, but all devices for the Kickstarter campaign were manufactured and sold by Pine Microsystems Inc. based in Fremont, California.
In January 2020, Pine Microsystems Inc. was dissolved while Pine Store Limited was incorporated on December 5, 2019 in Hong Kong. As of late 2020, the standard form contract of pine64.com binds all orders to the laws of Malaysia, while the products are shipped from warehouses in Hong Kong and Shenzhen, PRC.
