Apologies if I missed someone else answering. =E2=80=8BSolid-Run has some documentation specific to FreeBSD on the ClearF= og, including build instructions for FreeBSD=E2=80=8B https://wiki.solid-run.com/doku.php?id=3Dproducts:a38x:software:os:freebsd =E2=80=8B That URL above has a link to pre-built images that Solid-Run has made if that's what you're after.=E2=80=8B http://images.solid-build.xyz/A38X/freebsd/ =E2=80=8BI booted pfSense 2.4.1 (not released, but based on FreeBSD 11.1) f= rom USB on a ClearFog Base (with eMMC) yesterday. =E2=80=8BClearFog Pro works as w= ell. =E2=80=8BWe use a customized toolchain that started off as crochet, but the instructions on that page should serve to get you to freebsd -HEAD running from microSD. Getting from there to FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE is simple. Since arm32 isn't a tier-1 architecture in FreeBSD, I don't know what it takes to have RE make images for these boards. I know I've given Glen Barber a selection of boards (arm and non-arm) to use in his efforts to make FreeBSD images for various boards, and if it's as simple as sending him a ClearFog, he only needs to hold his hand up. I have about 20 of them sitting in my office. Since Brett mentioned "mass storage", I haven't tried the m-sata on ClearFog, but the m.2 SATA ports on our product based on the Armada 385 work, so presumably the m-sata on the ClearFog also works. The Marvell 8040 stuff is further behind. It boots, but no interfaces, etc= . I'll be trying the espresso.bin board (Armada 3700) next. Jim
