I followed felix's instructions on this post and now have a working FreeBSD 13-RELEASE-p3 (arm64) system on my Orange Pi R1 Plus with one of the ethernet ports functioning fine.
However, the USB (2.0) ports are not working - neither the built in port, nor the ones on the add-on board that came with the Pi.
These were the files I used to write the SD image:
OS image: FreeBSD-13.0-RELEASE-arm64-aarch64-ROCK64.img.tz
U-Boot: linux-u-boot-current-orangepi-r1plus_21.05.1_arm64.deb
I do not believe that this is a hardware issue as I have an identical Pi at my parents' place which has the same issue.
Does anyone have any idea what might be wrong? Is this simply not supported by FreeBSD at the moment, or could it be a U-Boot issue resolved by writing a different version to the card?
It is quite important to me to have USB working as I use USB memory sticks for swap (the Pi only has 1GB of RAM) and I am trying to minimise writes to the SD card.
Thanks in advance,
SanPollo
