Hello, fellow open source fans. I am attempting to install FreeBSD on a =0A= new Raspberry Pi 4 8GB, but I simply cannot get the device to boot. The =0A= latest Raspberry Pi OS (Raspbian), NOOBS, etc. all work. The Pi's =0A= firmware and BIOS are up-to-date. The SD card is new, stable, and passes = =0A= verification tests.=0A= =0A= Tried: 13.0-CURRENT from Dec-10, 13.0-CURRENT from Dec-03, 12.2-RELEASE, = =0A= 12.2-STABLE, and 12.1-RELEASE images for the Raspberry Pi 3 (RPI3 images = =0A= are recommended in the FreeBSD Wiki: =0A= https://wiki.freebsd.org/arm/Raspberry%20Pi)=0A= =0A= FreeBSD 12-series does not show a boot screen at all, but I more-or-less = =0A= expected as such, since the RPI4 8GB is known to be WIP in 13-CURRENT. =0A= With 13.0-CURRENT, I reach the boot screen, but I am greeted with the =0A= following 2 error messages:=0A= =0A= Error 00000044=0A= =0A= This device requires newer software.=0A= =0A= I have read in the FreeBSD subreddit that this has to do with the =0A= FreeBSD SD card image's bootloader being out of date.=0A= =0A= Does anyone have FreeBSD working on the RPI4 8GB?=0A= =0A= Other: The only advice about this that I have read involves rebuilding =0A= the FreeBSD SD card image. That is above my knowledge. Moreover, of =0A= course, I am sure that the aim of everyone here is to bring FreeBSD to =0A= this popular testing and learning platform :)=0A= =0A= Thank you in advance, everyone. Cheers,=0A= Corey=0A=
