I have a working Linux setup, but wanted to look at FreeBSD. The process has been fraught with problems. 1) U-Boot. The board has u-boot and despite the 'suggestive' tool titled = 'ubldr', this does not seem to work, unless the u-boot has been = 'enabled' with the U-boot API. Did that but other than some number of diagnostics, the ubldr fails = to present a command interface or seemingly try to 'bootp' via the = network interface. 2) Using a DTS file that 'works' with Linux, there are a number of = 'holes' in the DTS structure which the boot firmware seems to be = expected to 'fill in the blanks'. I've plugged many holes, an rearranged elements in the 'tree' that = seem to allow for the kernel to be loaded, and get to the point of = attempting to initialize the network drivers to perform a 'bootp' NFS style root mount. I did get some assistance in April from someone working on a similar = board, but those 'hints' have not yielded a bootable setup. It would appear that this board, and perhaps most of the P1020 (and = other recent Freescale boards) do not have many people, if any, working = on getting FreeBSD up on them. The questions are=85=20 1) is there anyone with a working P1020Wlan setup? 2) Anyone with working P1020xxx boards, and using the 'as found in = sys/boot/fdt/dts' DTS files? Any help would be appreciated, John Clark.
