FreeBSD Desktop for PineBook Pro

[maxwell79]

Hi. I recently bought a Pinebook Pro. I have installed TowBoot on the SPI. Can anyone advise what is the best FreeBSD IMG to install to the MMC?

I used the IMG given here: https://freebsdfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/FreeBSD-on-the-Pinebook-Pro.pdf - which boots fine but there were many issues with incorrect libraries e.g. libssl.so.30 - pkg was completely broken.

Thanks.

Anyone here still using RK3399? I have working external display via usb-c, as a not yet shared proof of concept, also I did a dtbo overlay to stop the screen flickering on boot for the Pinebook Pro. the usb-c dp works both on rockpro64 and Pinebook Pro. (with some caveats and license issues for now)

i don't have a board but somehow not quite offtopic
i have rk_iommu working on rk356x for the framebuffer part (move rk_gem out of gem_cma stuff)
now to do the panfrost part

I can't seem to get FreeBSD 15 to boot with TowBoot using the ROCKPRO64 img on SD card. I get a scrambled display.

You need an overlay for u boot to set the vop clock at half the speed of what the kernel sets it to. https://github.com/jsm222/drm-subtree/blob/15-CURRENT/rk3399-vopclock.dtso. I also have gpl support of the external display in the usb dp. Not public yet though. It is the next thing on my to do to publish it on github.
