Historically I know of 2 things potentially blocking there being a sysutils/u-boot-honeycomb (UEFI+FDT style) that would be effective: A) Until recently, mainline U-Boot's UEFI was not sufficient for SolidRun to classify U-Boot UEFI+FDT as supported. (Not a FreeBSD specific issue.) B) FreeBSD has not had all the kernel FDT work done to support the LX2160A(?) --or it is little tested(?). As I understand "sysutils/u-boot-master: Update to 2024.04" should mean that (A) is no longer true (but is was true for the prior 2024.01 usage). This should leave (B) as the primary issue for allowing a U-Boot based UEFI+FDT style of HoneyComb use. (B) could well involve things not involving dpaa2 usage via FDT. === Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com
