Which type of RPi2B? (There was a technically confusing marking-naming used for a significant technical change.) RPi2B v1.1: a cortex-A7 implementation of armv7, no aarch64 support RPi2B v1.2: a cortex-a53 implementation of aarch64, plus aarch32/armv7 You did not supply enough information for me to tell which. > So, after > dd'ing the 13.2 (release) SD image v1.1 would need: FreeBSD-13.2-RELEASE-arm-armv7-GENERICSD.img.xz instead of FreeBSD-13.2-RELEASE-arm64-aarch64-RPI.img.xz v1.2 would need : FreeBSD-13.2-RELEASE-arm64-aarch64-RPI.img.xz instead of: FreeBSD-13.2-RELEASE-arm-armv7-GENERICSD.img.xz You did not supply enough information for me to tell which *.img* file you downloaded and tried to use. FYI: FreeBSD-13.2-RELEASE-arm-armv7-GENERICSD.img.xz has just the one .dtb file: bcm2709-rpi-2-b.dtb (the one for the v1.1 RPi2B). (If it also had bcm2710-rpi-2-b.dtb, then both variants would boot. Similarly for other bcm2710-rpi-*.dtb files enabling some other RPi* variants to boot as armv7 instead of aarch64.) By conttrast, adding bcm2709-rpi-2-b.dtb to FreeBSD-13.2-RELEASE-arm64-aarch64-RPI.img.xz would not make it work for a RPi2B v1.1 . > and connecting the serial USB, I got no > output at all. =46rom the HDMI interface, I see a colourful screen, = but > nothing else.
