Hi there :) My name is Stan from Germany, I'm 45 y.o. and experienced/advanced FreeBSD admin/user since 2019. (Previously admin/user of several Linux-Distros, until "systemd" occured.) So I'm familiar with UNIX-like systems... I'm working with FreeBSD workstations and servers since Version 12...

I bought a new SBC because I want to use SBCs as a daily driver. I picked the Orange pi 5, how do I go about installing Freebsd with GPU acceleration for cool retro term and other apps. Any help will be greatly be appreciated.

I'm having a problem getting poudriere to cross compile ports when using a 13.1 jail. 13.0 works fine. The error was "No working C compiler found. Tried /nvb-bin/usr/bin/cc and gcc." I create the jails with the following: poudriere jails -c -j 130aarch64 -v 13.0-RELEASE -m http -x -a...

Hello BSDler, my first post here in the BSD area at all. Please be patient. O:‑) I used FreeBSD before in some virtual environments, compiled simple applications / driver. But not that much. Instead, I have several years of experience in linux. Just as a sideinfo about me. I want to use...

Hello, I have acquired a Firefly RK-3399 SoC ARM board. I see there is an official u-boot in the ports for this board, however I am unable to build the dtb from /usr/src/sys/gnu/dts/arm64/rockchip/rk3399-firefly.dts (using the dtc utility) (I'm using another machine right now, I'll edit in a...

Hi, i have installed FreeBSD 13.0 ALPHA2 ROCK64 on Orange Pi R1 Plus but RTL8153B is not loading. When i typed ifconfig there is only dwc0 interface(RTL8211E) and also FreeBSD is recognizing double RTL8211 phy devices so that what is the my problem? any help would be appreciated root@generic:~...

Hi, I am trying to boot FreeBSD 13.0-CURRENT on RK3328 based new OrangePi R1 Plus (seems like clone of NanoPi R2s) So I tried @ganbold 's FreeBSD image and official aarch64 images on it but I had kernel panic all of them. I could not find u-boot for FreeBSD supported OrangePi r1 plus rk3328. I...

Because the version in ports is ancient as a rock and doesn't support SAM4 Processors, I need to build a more recent Version. As usual for Linux- and Windows-centric software, documentation is near to non-existent, especially on how to build it, let alone on FreeBSD.... Apart from some commits...

This driver supports mali gpus commonly found on arm boards. Porting it will make it easier to work on arm architecture.

Heads up: Fujitsu tips its hand to reveal exascale Arm supercomputer processor – the A64FX.

Hi, Yesterday i tried to install ffmpeg in a FreeBSD-11.1 in a BeagleBone Black. The package is missing, this is a bit of a problem because BBB are very small manchines. Anyhow, I am tring to compile it from ports. Now, the question is, supposing the compilation of the port will succeed how...

Hello all, I have been experimenting with running a project that works great on AMD64/X86 on an RPI3 B, and have had some hiccups with jails, and I am wondering if anyone has experienced anything similar, and has any idea as to the cause. I've noticed the standard method of NATting jails on a...

Hi, I've got a raspberry pi 2b running Freebsd 11.0. Works fine (except keeping world up to date is a pain for a non-tier-1 architecture), but given that 11.0 is EOL I need to upgrade to 11.1. So I built a new image with crochet from branch releng/11.1 in git. However, this image fails to boot...

Hello, I want to create a mini-distribution for MIPS or ARM based low-RAM low-ROM devices based on FreeBSD. It will be like pfsense. I will provide a way people to use FreeBSD's features without knowing much about FreeBSD. Still they will be able to reach the command line if they want to. But...

Hello, I'm looking for a higher (than R-Pi) powered devboard to do some tinkering with FreeBSD. I have set my eyes currently on the DragonBoard 410 (or 810 if money allows). Do any of you have experience with these? Or any ARM-based devboards that come (somewhat) close to the performance...

Hello Folks. I have built both kernel and world for the Odroid C1 on a FreeBSD 11 guest in VirtualBox. Unfortunately I don't have a usb to microsd and VirtualBox does not have a option to share a sdcard reader. I tried creating a .vmdk file that points out to the sdcard on the HOST and shared...

Figured out how to get RPI2 running at 900mhz at boot versus default 600mhz To survive reboot I had to add to sysctl.conf and config.txt echo hw.cpufreq.turbo=1 >> /etc/sysctl.conf echo force_turbo=1 >> /boot/msdos/config.txt reboot root@rpi2:~ # dmesg | grep cpufreq bcm2835_cpufreq0: <CPU...

I have the DS3231 module running on an BananaPi. Here is how: Add this to/src/sys/arm/conf/ALLWINNER device ds3231 This adds it to the kernel. Then add the device to the device tree source /src/sys/boot/fdt/dts/arm/bananapi.dts Insert this at the bottom: &i2c0 { rtc {...
