There is no such image for the RPi4. Looking at: = https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-snapshots/2020-May/000698.html= shows: o 13.0-CURRENT aarch64 GENERIC o 13.0-CURRENT aarch64 RPI3 o 13.0-CURRENT aarch64 PINE64 o 13.0-CURRENT aarch64 PINE64-LTS o 13.0-CURRENT aarch64 PINEBOOK o 13.0-CURRENT aarch64 ROCK64 o 13.0-CURRENT aarch64 ROCKPRO64 Treating an RPi4 as a RPi3 is not going to make everything work: it does not have the right variant of u-boot, for example. The following lists installed files from ports: sysutils/u-boot-rpi[34] sysutils/rpi-firmware The installations of the 2 prots only puts the files someplace so they (or some) can later be copied to the msdos file system involved. # ls -ldT /usr/local/share/u-boot/u-boot-rpi[34]/* -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 124 Apr 25 00:16:57 2020 = /usr/local/share/u-boot/u-boot-rpi3/README -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 37 Apr 25 00:16:55 2020 = /usr/local/share/u-boot/u-boot-rpi3/metadata -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 499824 Apr 25 00:16:54 2020 = /usr/local/share/u-boot/u-boot-rpi3/u-boot.bin -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 124 Apr 25 13:28:34 2020 = /usr/local/share/u-boot/u-boot-rpi4/README -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 37 Apr 25 13:28:34 2020 = /usr/local/share/u-boot/u-boot-rpi4/metadata -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 506360 Apr 25 13:28:34 2020 = /usr/local/share/u-boot/u-boot-rpi4/u-boot.bin If you replaced the u-boot.bin in the msdos file system with the rpi4 one the memory might well show correctly. There is also: # ls -ldT /usr/local/share/rpi-firmware/* . . . -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 89 Jan 30 13:26:19 2020 = /usr/local/share/rpi-firmware/config.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 147 Jan 30 13:26:19 2020 = /usr/local/share/rpi-firmware/config_rpi3.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 135 Jan 30 13:26:20 2020 = /usr/local/share/rpi-firmware/config_rpi4.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 110 Jan 30 13:26:19 2020 = /usr/local/share/rpi-firmware/config_rpi_0_w.txt . . . where you would need to copy the config_rpi4.txt content to the config.txt in use on the msdos file system. There are other files for the RPi4 from the list as well. I've not checked a rpi3 snapshot do know if the snapshot has copies of RPi4 specific files: -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 5888 Jan 30 13:26:31 2020 = /usr/local/share/rpi-firmware/armstub8-gic.bin -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 40659 Nov 22 09:06:45 2019 = /usr/local/share/rpi-firmware/bcm2711-rpi-4-b.dtb -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 6193 Nov 22 09:06:45 2019 = /usr/local/share/rpi-firmware/fixup4.dat -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 3089 Nov 22 09:06:45 2019 = /usr/local/share/rpi-firmware/fixup4cd.dat -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 9181 Nov 22 09:06:45 2019 = /usr/local/share/rpi-firmware/fixup4db.dat -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 9183 Nov 22 09:06:45 2019 = /usr/local/share/rpi-firmware/fixup4x.dat -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 2775076 Nov 22 09:06:45 2019 = /usr/local/share/rpi-firmware/start4.elf -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 775872 Nov 22 09:06:45 2019 = /usr/local/share/rpi-firmware/start4cd.elf -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 4582664 Nov 22 09:06:45 2019 = /usr/local/share/rpi-firmware/start4db.elf -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 3536680 Nov 22 09:06:45 2019 = /usr/local/share/rpi-firmware/start4x.elf in the msdosfs file system. Note (where config.txt is a copy/variant of config_rpi4.txt by content): # more /boot/efi/config.txt=20 arm_control=3D0x200 arm_64bit=3D1 dtoverlay=3Ddisable-bt dtoverlay=3Dmmc device_tree_address=3D0x4000 kernel=3Du-boot.bin armstub=3Darmstub8-gic.bin So, without armstub8-gic.bin being present in the msdos file system, the RPi4 config.txt content would then specify a missing file. Similarly for u-boot.bin . =3D=3D=3D Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com ( dsl-only.net went away in early 2018-Mar)
