FreeBSD on VisionFive2 board with RISC-V RV64GC StarFive JH7110 SoC

Hello world :-)

I have also posted this message on the Forum as this may be better
search / reference point for the others:

I just got my VisionFive2 board (powerful rPI like with RISC-V CPU)! :-)

Here are the details: https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/VisionFive2

Onboard RV64GC ISA Quad-core 64-bit JH7110 SoC, operating frequency up
to 1.5GHz, VisionFive 2 supports OpenCL 3.0, OpenGL ES 3.2, and Vulkan
1.2. It is available in 4GB/8GB LPDDR4 RAM options and an optional
wireless module. Also, it has multiple onboard interfaces, including
M.2 / CSI / DSI / HDMI / eMMC / USB 3.0 / 40PIN GPIO / RJ45 Gigabit
Ethernet port / TF card slot, etc. Supports 4K@60fps and H264/H265
multi-stream video decoding, 1080p@30fps and H265 multi-stream video
encoding. Onboard 40PIN GPIO header, VisionFive2 is compatible with
Raspberry Pi series boards.

I got the variant with 8GB RAM, 2xGbit Ethernet, 4xUSB3.0 + 16GB eMMC module.

I have made some Debian Linux run on it quickly from SD.

Flashed the generic 13.1-RELEASE to the SD card from:

https://download.freebsd.org/releases/riscv/riscv64/ISO-IMAGES/13.1/FreeBSD-13.1-RELEASE-riscv-riscv64-GENERICSD.img.xz

OpenSBI shows up, boots off the SD card, FreeBSD loader shows up, then
kernel stops at [icode]CPU(0): Unknown Implementer Unknown
Processor[/icode]. Also RAM amount does not seem to be detected
correctly (4GB instead 8GB).

Anyone else interested in running FreeBSD on that CPU / Board? :-)
