--- Comment #16 from Joerg Wunsch <joerg@FreeBSD.org> ---
Just to add here, I'm using SleepWalker's privately patched u-boot port, bo=
th
on a RockPi 4A as well as on a RockPi 4SE. I started using it because I nee=
ded
SPI flash support (to be able to boot from NVMe SSD). The very same u-boot =
also
booted the 4SE without problems.

I'm going to work together with him to see what needs to be done to update =
the
official FreeBSD u-boot port for these devices. Besides SPI flash support (=
and
obviously, solving any issue with the 4SE), it also adds support to boot fr=
om
an USB stick.

Regarding the documentation, I'm not sure whether there is even a single pe=
rson
who fully understands all that. :-) I have been doing u-boot stuff at a
previous job (including adding things like failover capabilities and so), so
maybe I can dig again a bit into it, and remember enough to describe that.
However, so far I have yet to find someone (beyond maybe Linus Torvalds) who
fully grasped that device tree stuff. Everyone I met so far operates on a
copy&paste level there. :-/
