New to FreeBSD. Build images for Arm Devices.

[Furkan Salman]

Hello Everyone,



I am new to FreeBSD and I have started to look into building FreeBSD images for arm64 devices, Like Khadas Edge-V, Radxa RockPi E and Khadas VIm1.



Sir Ganbold and Sergey have been helping me with testing and troubleshooting issues on getting an existing image built for Pine64-Rock64 to boot on RockPiE as both are similar SOC.



I have a working Khadas Edge-V on FreeBSD, Thanks to Sergey for his hard work for supporting this device. Next he is working on Khadas VIm1 which is Amlogic S905X SOC.



I have good understanding with uboot build process on linux side and it is almost the same for bsd, Though I cannot write any driver I can only build and package stuff.


Currently I understand on how I can build uboot and build kernel with device specific config, next I need to understand how the kernel is connected to vendor dts/dtb.


If anyone can help me understand this then I can try to build some test images for the devices that I have.



Regards,

Furkan K.
