Solved Where to find a fresh code to install FreeBSD on my Arm Chromebook

[ZioMario]

Hello.

I would like to try to install FreeBSD on my ARM Chromebook following this tutorial :

arm/Chromebook - FreeBSD Wiki

but I'm stuck to this command,that does not exists between the packages and the ports :

# svnlite co http://svn.freebsd.org/base/head@269385 /usr/src

where I can find it or what can I use as alternative ? thanks.

I think you need to use git today.

# git clone http://svn.freebsd.org/base/head@269385
Cloning into 'head@269385'...
fatal: repository 'http://svn.freebsd.org/base/head@269385/' not found

devel/subversion exists however, as unitrunker advises, use of Git is appropriate.

SVN revision 269385 found in cgit: <https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/?id=d440ef2d7314a383e299ef86144b2879d80569e7> is, in GitHub:

Rename files: keep codename only to make it shorter. · freebsd/freebsd-src@d440ef2

Let's assume that the wiki page (2019-09-06) is outdated; it can't be appropriate to check out source that's more than nine years old. Postscript: sorry, I didn't pay proper attention to the wiki.

Unfortunately that's the last and only source code that can be used to install FreeBSD on the ARM Chromebook. If you know where to get something newer,please share it.

Re: <https://www.freebsd.org/platforms/>, which of the platforms is a match for the hardware?

 

[ZioMario]

ArmV7 / Cortex A15,so maybe I can read here : https://people.freebsd.org/~cognet/arm.html

svn still works.
pkg install subversion
svn co http://svn.freebsd.org/base/head@269385 usr/src

usr/src

Care with the path, there.
