Raspberry Pi 3 img?

I tried 2 x times but I can't get it to work. Only I get color boot screen. Not any sign of freebsd FreeBSD.
 
I can get raspbian to load with this Raspberian pi 3, but not this freebsd FreeBSD image.
 
So inside the OpenBSD topic on the maling list, it was a post about FreeBSD booting pi3.

Will you still need usb console?
 
I got raspberry pi3 to somewhat boot on Freebsd FreeBSD :)

Any idea to get further?

It works. But how can I get network? Does wired or wireless network work with FreeBSD?

FreeBSD/arm64 (rpi3) (ttyu0)

login:
 
I would imagine with this being a brand new platform the ethernet might not be supported yet, but I would bet that wireless networking works.
The RA-Link USB sticks are dirt cheap and work at 802.11G. Range is not so great but for basic usage it works. I have had net/hostapd running a home AP on my BBB.

https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?run(4)

I am not recommending you go buy one but if you have one I would have to try that option personally.
 
I tried the image but can't get FreeBSD booted on pi3.
dd'ed the img to SD-card but got only the rainbow screen.

Someone an idea?

Test FreeBSD on RaspberryPi3 with https://people.freebsd.org/~andrew/arm64/rpi3-20160306.img.xz or build your own from source

Hi,
me too i try to setup my raspberry PI3, i download the image (/rpi3-20160306.img.xz) but it doen't boot !
I use the command dd on SD card UHS class 1, may be there are issue about creating the table partition:
1/ MSdos
2/ BSD
Where found a good distribution ? because i download a lot of image and try it !
I've tested my raspberry with debian64 and it work fine.
some one can tell me the solution, for use FreeBSD with 64 bits instruction ?
*
Regards
Philippe

Please, take a look to this article written by s_mitu.
 
I had been trying both the rpi2 and rpi3 images on my rpi3 the last few weeks. Last week. Built the rpi3 image from source without difficulty. I still didn't see anything on console. I read that it only works with the serial debug console. So I bought the FTDI serial cable. Tried it today and nothing. I tried the rpi2 image too and also nothing on serial.

As a basis to just make sure the serial interface works I tried booting Raspbian. At first I got garbage. Then I saw a comment to add force_turbo=1 to config.txt and Raspbian boots fine and I get a login prompt over serial. So the basic serial interface works.

I have no idea where to go from here. I really would like to work with FreeBSD on the raspberry Pi but I can't seem to get any version to boot.

I just ordered a raspberry Pi 2 to check as a basis whether the Pi 2 version boots on that. After that I've got nothing up my sleeve.

Can anyone help get me unstuck?

I just bought a RPI2 as I am learning GPIO's and they are the most common board used in examples..
Everything works out of the box including HDMI. The RPI2 is only supported via FreeBSD -CURRENT. So you have some spurious error messages associated with using a testing version. The most recent version works as expected for me.


You should be able to see the boot text of the RPI2 via UART console -with no storage media installed.
Start there and then try FreeBSD Arm build once you see screen output working..
 
Arm64 is the future I would not be surprised if 10 years from now the norm is many cored arm desktops/laptops with only SSDs and everyone will forget disks and disk drives.... and windows could quite possibly be dead
 
I bought 4 different ARM board variants before I really asked my self 'what was I doing'. The first board a Beaglebone is the most capable of the lot and it is very well supported all the way down to a LCD touchscreen supported in FreeBSD.

The newer better faster philosophy might be fine for desktops but for experimenter boards speed is not really a consideration. They are not made to provide a desktop but can pull it off if needed. The current focus seems to be an embedded computer and not a desktop from what I can see. GPIO's and IoT and the such.

Until ARM64 gets a PCIe bus or some real fabric I see no real improvement for my needs. A USB bus is not what I see for the future. Problem is there is no one company pushing for standardization and it's a hodge-podge of 40 dollar boards. Intel might be evil but compared to mayhem they look better.
 
I asked this question to arm about fragmentation, got this answer:

"
Thanks for your interest.

You are quite correct that there is always room for improvement.
I can understand that having over 400 companies building ARM-based SOCs can seem like fragmentation, and can be frustrating when trying to navigate.
However, we see this as differentiation and choice for end customers. You may have to hunt around a bit, but you will find a supplier who meets your requirements and help you do what you want to achieve.

And I do not agree that "choice" is hurting the ARM ecosystem.
In 2015 there were 15 billion ARM based chips shipped.
ARM's customers had an over 99% market share in smartphones. And more than 90% share in tablets.
There are over 100 low cost development boards enabling 100,000's developers to create new applications from games to internet of things.
The latest Raspberry Pi 3 now comes with a Cortex-A53 and costs only $35.
