@bedreddinsahbaz So I have no chance to install bsd due to network card incompatibility

You have a chance to use freebsd bhyve linux VM with pci-passthru!

Thanks for your advice, but I prefer to stick with debian as everything works.From what you tell me to use (vm) I understand that it is a virtual machine

You can run the Linux driver for your card in a VM and "give" that to your FreeBSD system.

And how do you do that?

Hi folks

Anyone knows where I can find the correct dtb (device tree blob) to use with FreeBSD on my ARM card ?

Plus, the forums are down atm and I just crashed an install. But anyway...

(The installer crashes obviously because I am using the 14-current version)

Ok, so... where is that ?

I mean, which package, if any

In openbsd all the dtb's are in the dtb package

Well, I have searched this way without success

https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/blob/master/boot/overlays/README

https://wiki.freebsd.org/arm/Raspberry%20Pi#DTB_Overlays

The default location for DTS files in the FreeBSD source repos- itory is sys/dts directory.

The textual device tree description (DTS file) is first converted (compiled) into a binary object (the device tree blob) i.e. the DTB, which is handed over to the final con- sumer (typically kernel) for parsing and processing of its contents.

https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=FDT

from my reading of the man page, looks like you take a DTS and compile it into a DTB?

Indeed that's how you do it. There is a dedicated tool. But then I'd have to find a dts...

Default locations sys/dts sys/gnu/dts

Thanks ! Oh and I figured out dtc is the package I need

However, I don't really understand how I am supposed to get the dts from the directory you gave? Isn't there a more proper way than downloading it from github ?

Yes there are other ways

I've found it for you, done lots of goggling for you. I'm not going to teach you how to download a file.... that's beyond basic.

Yeah, well, got it with lynx but dtc gives me an error... going to install 12.2-RELEASE

doh!

You were trying 14 or 13?

12.0 the only one I had atm

Same error with 12.2...

Isn't 13 still only beta ? Should I try it ?

I don't know if it will help you at all. 13 is nearly released as stable. It's pretty stable here on my daily driver workstation. I upgraded a few weeks ago. (Actually GhostBSD, but based on 13 instead of 12.2 of FreeBSD)

Actually I don't see why I couldn't use the dtb from openbsd. But yet another problem is that FreeBSD doesn't seem to recognize my sd card.

:( Are you just testing FreeBSD, since OpenBSD works?

:( Are you just testing FreeBSD, since OpenBSD works?

Well, I am interested in both... I want to use FreeBSD on my arm board for now

And indeed seems the sd card reader isn't yet supported :( http://bsd-hardware.info/?probe=17ed006376

I haven't even tried it on my pi 3 yet. :O

I have a little usb adapter for my sd cards, works fine.

I am gonna have to try force-writing it from Linux... I don't like that. Anyway. Cross fingers for me 😝

🤞

Oh, no, just figured a safer way

I can edit the img by mounting it locally from the filesystem :)

All this because Xubuntu kernel is compiled with ufs read only haha

Hmmm, can't access that ufs2 slice yet, using mdconfig(8). Seeking further

Yeah sorry, I forgot smh I'm not on the forum where messages/contributions can be useful and read as messages later... anyway, carrying on

I opened a thread here : https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/using-booting-freebsd-on-the-firefly-rk-3399-soc.79180

Anyone up?

yes

I'm confused which ISO to download. In amd64 there are many ISOs

I want to boot using USB stick

Anyone who can tell?

I only see one pr. branch.

There's 12.2, 13 and 14. and 11.x. Depends on how on/off the dev edge you wanna live.

↑ is —CURRENT

In 12.2,there are cd,dvd,memstick and more. Which one should I go for

Go retro!... Chose CD!
