How to run FreeBSD on new boards built on Rockchip 35XX..

ZioMario · Jul 7, 2025

I've deleted the files rk_iommu.c and rk_iommu.h and I've got this error :

Code:

make[2]: don't know how to make /mnt/zroot2/zroot2/OS/BSD/FreeBSD/arm64/img/Radxa-3W/Stuff/covacat/DRM/_cheri142-userland143/src/sys/arm64/rockchip/rk_iommu.c. Stop

covacat · Jul 7, 2025

remove rk_iommu from kernel config file (GENERIC-DRM)

ZioMario · Jul 7, 2025

Done. And I also gave a # make clean.

But It gives this error :

Code:

covacat · Jul 7, 2025

try to remove ita from sys/conf/files.arm64

ZioMario · Jul 7, 2025

ita ? what is this ?

Like this one it does not work :

covacat · Jul 7, 2025

should be rk_iommu.c
in sys/conf/files.arm64 under the use/src you build from

ZioMario · Jul 7, 2025

I have removed all the rk_iommu.c words,but it didn't work.

I've got a NanoPi R5C which I would like to set up as an internet router. Ideally, I would like to run OPNsense on it, but FreeBSD would be great for a start (maybe I'll learn pf instead!).

I would really like to run the bootloader from the eMMC or SD card, and boot FreeBSD from an external USB 3 SSD.

I went to https://personalbsd.org/download/UEFI-RK356x/ and downloaded the following files:

NANOPI-R5C_EFI.img
NANOPI-R5C_EFI.itb
idblock.bin

Unfortunately, I'm not sure exactly what to do with them!

I started by writing the img file to an SD card, but unfortunately gpart shows the partition table as corrupt:

Code:

=> 34 67517 mmcsd0 GPT (7.2G) [CORRUPT] 34 30 - free - (15K) 64 16320 1 linux-data (8.0M) 16384 16384 2 linux-data (8.0M) 32768 32768 3 linux-data (16M) 65536 2015 - free - (1.0M) => 34 67517 diskid/DISK-13A380FE GPT (7.2G) [CORRUPT] 34 30 - free - (15K) 64 16320 1 linux-data (8.0M) 16384 16384 2 linux-data (8.0M) 32768 32768 3 linux-data (16M) 65536 2015 - free - (1.0M)

If I put the SD card into my NanoPi, the SYS light is solid, but there is no HDMI output, and the CAPS or NUM lock keys don't do anything

Looking at the crochet-setup.sh I also downloaded, it creates a partition layout on the disk and then writes the itb and bin files to it.

So I did the following:

Code:

gpart create -s gpt /dev/mmcsd0 gpart add -t linux-data -l loader -b 32k -s 16320 /dev/mmcsd0 gpart add -t linux-data -l uboot -s 8m /dev/mmcsd0 gpart add -t linux-data -l env -s 16m /dev/mmcsd0 gpart add -t linux-data -l resource -s 16m /dev/mmcsd0 dd if=idblock.bin of=/dev/mmcsd0 conv=notrunc bs=512 seek=64 dd if=NANOPI-R5C_EFI.itb of=/dev/mmcsd0 conv=notrunc bs=512 seek=20480

Unfortunately, I get exactly the same behaviour when I put the card into the NanoPi (although the partition table is not corrupt).

Please could someone give me some steps to get this working, or point me towards a guide?

Hi,

sorry for the long delay.

Have you solved your problem? I saw there were not more messages from you.

With those img files I think I you can make it work with opnsense.

Hi,

has anyone got an Orange Pi 5 Plus to boot FreeBSD using sdcard?

I got ok from nvme, but not sdcard.

Here is my log:

Phishfry many thanks for your advice. Apologies I have not had time to try it out yet as I currently have a lot going on with some family issues, but I hope to get back to it as soon as I can.

should be rk_iommu.c
in sys/conf/files.arm64 under the use/src you build from

I should be honest : the panfrost driver crashes less times in the board rockpro rk3399 that in the radxa zero 3W. I'm thinking to disable it in this board ; here it crashes so hardly that even the data structure is corrupted very often.

The kernel panic happened again. A corruption of the sd card partition table comes after it. This time I had the panfrost driver enabled and I tried to watch some youtube videos. I suspect that it needs 8 Gb or RAM. I will try soon. If it will happens also with 8 GB or RAM,then there is a bug that needs to be fixed.

The Radxa Zero with 8 GB of RAM came to me. I've suddenly tried it with FreeBSD 14.2 + panfrost driver ported by covacat and I'm really sad,because at some point I see the screen goes white and nothing work anymore. For some unknown reason,it does not accept 8 GB. Because the same image works with the Radxa Zero with 4 GB of ram. Maybe covacat knows why and he can fix something inside the code. Regarding the stability of the panfrost driver enabled on the board with 4 GB,in my case,it crashes very often. It's not usable at all. This is the reason why I've bought the version with 8 GB. Because I hoped that it worked better,but at the moment its not true.

which build are you using the cheribsd one or the older one ?

covacat said:

Cheribsd without the unfinished iommu code. The older one is more stable for me (with the radxa zero 4 GB).

note that it is total random, since it depends on memory fragmentation

Is there a way to fragment the memory in a different combination of parts ? maybe I'm more lucky

covacat · Jul 23, 2025

rk_vop and rk_vop2 hardware can only access a 32 bit bus space (so 4GB)
our drivers have no provision to allocate the fb in the first 4GB so they need either iommu support or other hacks (like bus_dma) to force the frame buffer in the first 4GB
so it can be that it writes a truncated address to the vop register and shit happens

A developer told me that frequent crashes happens when there are 4 GB of RAM. I supposed that with more RAM the problem could have gone away.

if anyone cares I have u-boot with efi framebuffer for rk356x, can post / patch / binary / both
tested to work on radxa zero 3e.
