Solved Pkg broken after upgrade to 10.0.4 on aarch64 (RPI)

[Spartrekus]

I don't know what mistake you're doing but upstream pkg doesn't have the libarchive.so.6 dependency (it's libarchive.so.7)
Are you still setting the ABI to FreeBSD:11:aarch64?

To fix your problem, execute the following:

fetch http://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:12:aarch64/latest/Latest/pkg.txz
pkg-static add -f pkg.txz


This is hopeless.

RPI 3 is not made for FreeBSD. Tier 2, there is a meaning.

Thank you anyhow

FreeBSD works fine on the rpi3, you're doing something wrong.

I know that it does not work, because I try.

You may try to bring the image on SD from the official image?

xzcat  FreeBSD-12.0-CURRENT-arm64-aarch64-RPI3-20180110-r327788.img.xz   | dd of=/dev/sdc

Run: pkg

Hello,

Currently the best working version of FreeBSD for Raspberry is the following according to my testings.

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/arm64/aarch64/ISO-IMAGES/12.0/FreeBSD-12.0-CURRENT-arm64-aarch64-RPI3-20180131-r328637.img.xz (Luckily that I have a backup).

The Raspberry RPI 3 model b hangs while running those two:
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/arm64/aarch64/ISO-IMAGES/12.0/FreeBSD-12.0-CURRENT-arm64-aarch64-RPI3-20180514-r333606.img.xz (not working, ethernet issue and issue hangs at boot)
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/arm64/aarch64/ISO-IMAGES/12.0/FreeBSD-12.0-CURRENT-arm64-aarch64-RPI3-20180509-r333409.img.xz (not working, ethernet issue and issue hangs at boot)


My experience is that r328637 is currently the only working FreeBSD on PI.
Do you maybe experience same issue?
