I am looking into installing FreeBSD on an armv7 device and am looking for official guidance on how to install FreeBSD on an armv7 device. I went to the FreeBSD/ARM Project page and the only page I could find about installing FreeBSD on arm is called a "Mini-install guide" and it takes me here: Setting up FreeBSD/arm on IQ31244/IQ80321.
After a look at the page https://people.freebsd.org/~cognet/ I found out the Mini-install guide that the FreeBSD/ARM Project page links to was last updated in 2009, 14 years ago. It seems unlikely for that 14-year-old Mini-install guide to be valid for modern versions of FreeBSD. So I must ask, is that page valid for FreeBSD 13.2 or the newly released FreeBSD 14.0 in 2023?
If the 14-year-old Mini-install guide is not valid for modern versions of FreeBSD that are supported in 2023, I politely ask that the FreeBSD/ARM Project page be updated to point to an installation guide that is valid for modern versions of FreeBSD on arm that are supported in 2023. Also, I am sorry if this is not the appropriate place to make a request such as this.
I also discovered how anyone, including me, can contribute an updated link for the FreeBSD/ARM Project page in the FreeBSD documentation project. I will propose an updated link if my experience of trying to install FreeBSD 13.2 or 14.0 on my armv7 device indicates the 14-year-old link is outdated and should be replaced and no one else updates the link before then. Thanks!
