Creating a custom FreeBSD build for Raspberry Pi
The default FreeBSD kernel for Raspberry Pi can be found here in the FreeBSD source browser. It’s everything you need to boot FreeBSD on a Pi, and includes GPIO support. However, the Pi is a nice small computer, so it’s likely that you’ll want it to include options such as Wifi, and pf. In my…
How does the Crochet-FreeBSD ARM boot work?
Introduction This is my 3rd blog posting on the topic of the Crochet-FreeBSD ARM boot process. The other two are here and here. At long last, I have the Crochet-FreeBSD build for Wandboard working properly, with U-boot and ubldr. This article will serve, I hope, to document the entire process and give others a…
Beaglebone Serial Console on OS X
I recently got a Beaglebone Black. I was very excited; it’s similar to a Pi, but has 60 GPIO ports! Getting a serial console up on it was not quite a simple as I thought, since the BeagleBone uses FTDI. Following the instructions here I installed the OS X serial driver for FTDI. After plugging…
Cross-compiling NetBSD on FreeBSD-10
I was curious to see how difficult it would be to compile NetBSD on FreeBSD 10. Once you have the source, there is a build.sh script which is very helpful. The build is as simple as: ./build.sh -m i386 tools ./build.sh -m i386 kernel=GENERIC release In my case I have both clang and gcc installed. I…

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.
