Building my own wireless point
I got interested in building my own wireless point after seeing some of the wireless firmware issues like this. Besides, I’ve always been interested in embedded devices and FreeBSD. So, the first step was a device. I chose to use a Wandboard. I’m a committer to Crochet-FreeBSD, so I built out the device support for…

Writing a FreeBSD loadable module
In preparation for writing a device driver, I thought I would firstly write a module. The resulting source code is here. Firstly the Makefile: SRCS+=bus_if.h device_if.h examplemodule.c KMOD=examplemodule .include <bsd.kmod.mk> The first line defines the sources. examplemodule.c is my module source. I needed to include bus_if.h and device_if.h since I’m writing my module…
Identifying unknown hardware a Pi running FreeBSD
I’ve been building FreeBSD-CURRENT images for my Pi, and I’ve noticed I have this: ugen0.5: <vendor 0x7392> at usbus0 So, it turns out I have one of these plugged in, and it seems likely that the unknown USB device is ugen0.5. So firstly, there is the question of “ugen”. You can read about it here….
Securing FreeBSD with Ansible
My preferred server OS is FreeBSD. Each time I install it, I have to go through numerous steps to secure it. So, to avoid that effort, and to make sure I get it right each time, I’ve created an Ansible playbook to automate the entire process. You can learn about it here. Some of the…
The skeleton of a FreeBSD driver
It’s been a goal of mine for a while to understand how FreeBSD device drivers work. So, firstly I wrote a simple module; it’s here. The next step is to write the skeleton of a device driver. That is, a device driver that does nothing. The resulting source code is here. The Makefile is very…

Hi!
I DL:ed the RPI FreeBSD 10 from the files section and “dd” it to my sd-card. I see all pre boot stuff, but the freebsd kernel won’t load. Any ideas?
Regards Jonas
Got a boot log?
No, it doesn’t come to that. It stops right after checking for kernel and when it enters kernel arg…nothing happens. The normal FreeBSD boot doesn’t appear. I think it’s right after the bootloader or what it’s called. I don’t have FreeBSD to mount the sd-card on at home. I’ll check the sd-card and for some logs at work under this week. There’s no errors or messages that the boot is problematic.
Could you get a screen shot?
no, but i took some bad, bad pix of my tv-screen 🙂

Sorry about that 🙁
ok, I don’t actually know if the video output is fully supported. I’ve never tried it. Have you tried using a serial console?
No, i do not have tested a serial console. I’ll bring aone from work and test later. You mean a usb-serial console-cable? I no that the earlier images that you provided (10-alpha/beta) work on this screen/video through HDMI.
No, I mean a USB-RS232 serial cable.
Yes, we mean the same type of cable. The one i got, doesn’t work with my macbook. I’ll get a windows-machine and test again.
