Bug ID: 272792
Summary: Both FreeBSD 13.2-RELEASE and 14-CURRENT are unable to
boot on the Raspberry Pi 4B 8GB v1.5.
Product: Base System
Version: 13.2-RELEASE
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Only Me
Priority: ---
Component: arm
Assignee: freebsd-arm@FreeBSD.org

Both FreeBSD 13.2-RELEASE and 14-CURRENT are unable to boot on the Raspberry Pi
4B 8GB v1.5.The firmware is up to date.I am using a USB flash drive.The
official Raspberry Pi OS is running normally.
I have tested the following systems with an external HDMI monitor, but none of
them can boot successfully. During startup, a rainbow screen appears.
FreeBSD-13.2-RELEASE-arm64-aarch64-RPI.img.xz
FreeBSD-14.0-CURRENT-arm64-aarch64-RPI-20230713-510fd8313800-264135.img.xz
FreeBSD-14.0-CURRENT-arm64-aarch64-RPI-20230727-474708c334a7-264358.img.xz
I have used Rufus to burn the mentioned image and attempted to boot, but the
rainbow screen persists.
I have tried downloading sysutils/rpi-firmware and sysutils/u-boot-rpi-arm64 on
FreeBSD, and then copied them to the FAT partition.
I found that the version of sysutils/rpi-firmware is still from 2021, and some
files have 2021 dates. As a result, I downloaded firmware from the official
Raspberry Pi firmware repository to replace them. However, the rainbow screen
issue persists, and I'm still unable to boot the system.
In general, regardless of whether I replace the firmware from the FreeBSD
sources or the official Raspberry Pi sources, it results in the rainbow screen
issue, and the system remains unable to boot
I suspect that the current firmware version provided by FreeBSD is too old, and
there might be an issue with U-Boot as well.
