Raspberry pi 5 status

PD: I didn't post the results for `openssl speed` as it seems it wasn't compiled with those extensions and I don't even know if it supports them. Maybe when I have time I'll figure out.
 
openssl speed -elapsed -evp aes-256-cbc

most run of the mill a53+ (even a35) socks support crypto accel, rpi4 is the outlier

I'm not so sure about openssl because of this bug:

Click to expand...

I just gave that a go and was pleasantly surprised how easy it was.
  1. Downloaded the most recent FreeBSD 15 aarch64 RPI image
  2. Put it onto a microSD card (I used the Raspberry Pi Imager on my mac, but I assume that dd would do the same)
  3. Tried booting that, didn't work, as expected
  4. Got out a USB flash drive, download the firmware image from the rpi5-uefi githib repo (the zip file from the link below "2. Download the firmware image")
  5. Extracted the 3 files from the zip file to the USB drive
  6. Plugged in the USB drive and booted.
Presto, FreeBSD.

OK, no ethernet, no wifi, fan at full speed.
 
Ethernet over USB works.

I need to get another USB C to A adapter so that I can use both keyboard and my ethernet to USB adapter. In the small world of the RPi everything seems to need an adapter.
 
on pi zero i have this
hw.usb.template=8
in loader.conf
no idea if it works on 5 and you need rndis on the peer
 
Will someone use the 3 patch files to modify your /usr/src source code on FreeBSD and test with the Raspi5 single board computer to verify HDMI Audio sound works on a TV Monitor?

  2. Code: 
    make installkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC-VCHIQ
  3. shutdown -r now
  4. cd /usr/src

I ask for your help to test Raspi5 hardware HDMI audio. It is working on FreeBSD/GhostBSD for my tests on Raspi 4B and 400 or 3B. Balls in your court.
 
1.) Has anybody tested extra serial uart ports on the Raspberry Pi 4B with 40 pin header. Uart0 and Uart1 exist. Missing Uart2, Uart3, Uart4, Uart5. When rreading and writing to the serial uart. Do you check that setting of the GPIO Block enable to still be setup as a uartX before writing s character to the TX register?

2.) Has the couple I2C or the couple SPI ports been tested to funtion properly?

Yes, not on your Agenda, Paul. I am glad for your postings about creating the boot files needed for Rpi5. Thank you for sharing those details that work for you in booting the Rpi5.

Maybe some others will find those details about 3 patch files to enable HDMI Audio helpful.

Just curious if any headway has been made with running FreeBSD on the Pi 5. I have one, running Raspberry OS Lite (Debian) as a server... So as soon as I can have decent stable networking I'd like to give FreeBSD a go on it.

From what I've read here, with minimal efforts a FreeBSD image can be written to a memory card / USB device, the boot firmware slipped in and you're up and running.

No accelerated graphics, audio, or Ethernet. All I care about of those three would be the ethernet. I'm considering getting a USB3 gigabit NIC though, I'd like to have the option of having it around regardless.
 
Paul Floyd I tried the above, it boots and asks for a password, what is the default?

EDIT: Never mind found it: root/root or freebsd/freebsd ...
I found my USB2->Ethernet adapter so ethernet worked that way ...

I noticed that `pkg` is not present, and when I tried fetching errored out, hoow do I fix that?
Is the base system good enough to run something like `KODI` ?
I also notice that the HDMI display (TV) is overscanned, is there a quick fix for that in some config file ..?
 
Regarding the "pkg" error:

The error is: " certificate verification failed for /CN=pkg.freebsd.org"
I am running the latest snapshot of Version 15 .. (I did setup my timezone and enabled ntp, to see if that was the issue. I am in New Zealand )
Any idea's? Thanks

No idea. I use my Pi almost exclusively headless, connecting by ssh and using X forwarding. I'm only using tools like meld and qtcreator so no heavy use of video.

Exact same error. You did say about setting up the time, but was it definitely set correctly? Might be worth double-checking.

It wasn't set correctly the first time I used "pkg". Then I ran tzsetup and did the ntpd stuff and my time is now correct.
Is there any other local timezone stuff I need to setup?
 
Ok, update, it was the clock, the next boot it was out again, I had to set it correct with "date", then "pkg" worked.
How do I fix this, what makes the date/time stick ... is there a command to update the RTC or something else?

I have "ntpd_sync_on_start="YES" set in /etc/rc.conf .... do I also have to put "ntpdate_enable="YES"?, or is it one or the other.

Thanks, I am fairly new to FreeBSD .. :)
 
Ok, my data/time is all good now.

Another quick question: I have kodi started by openbox and openbox by startx, how do I get startx to run on boot from my normal user?
I have managed to autologin my user by changes to tty's, but it alludes me how to run startx when my user has auto logged in ....

EDIT: Ahh, found it: Placed "startx -- -nocursor" in ~/.profile, now Kodi boots from poweron .... yah!

By the way, anyone know how to get rid of the 10sec coundown on boot, and mute the text on bootup? boot_mute="YES" in loader.conf ?
Thanks, I want it to act more as a Kodi Kiosk machine ..
