Greetings,
I have recently acquired some hardware based on Cavium Octeon III (CN70XX - ITUS Networks Shield), and I would like to try and install FreeBSD on it
I am new to FreeBSD (and kernel compiling in general) so apologies if this is a stupid question, but I have read the parts of the handbook which have got me this far.
* Is there any support for Octeon III processors in the kernel?
* I have attempted to build an image using the standard OCTEON1 kernel config, just using the auto-detect at runtime for a test and when it boots from uboot I get the following error.
* I have looked in the sys/contrib/octeon-sdk/octeon-model.h to see if there is a specific value for the CPU model I am using but the closest matches are as follows
* None of these are exact matches, is there a particular one I should try and use?
Any tips much appreciated.
