I'm using at this moment an Rpi4 B 8G rev 1.4. The only way I can run this board no matter of using 13 release, stable or current is with the EDK2 uefi firmware, in acpi mode only, and only with the ram limit. I didn't expect this limitation after reading the wiki. The xhci dma bug has been corrected in netbsd and openbsd. Could someone share the state of this issue in freebsd? Also with acpi the ethernet interface is not detected, I'm using RTL8152/3 usb cards. I'm impressed with the performance (without overclocking the cpu), really impressed. And the usb subsystem looks more stable. I had problems in the past (and in the present with other bsds), like the system crashing when attaching or detaching some devices. Apart from the loss of ram and the inconvenience of not be able to use the ethernet interface, I'm feeling very comfortable right know. Regards, adr.
