Hello everyone,
I'm looking at getting FreeBSD (a pretty stable version) running
on a 4B 8GB... I haven't stumbled over a "how to" write-up, and
thought I would sign on to freebsd-arm to see where things stand.
I took a gander thru the past 3 months archive postings and I see
things might not be working too well in on a Raspberry PI 4B 8GB?
But, I'm kinda suddenly swimming-in-the-deep-end here without
too much context.
I downloaded and imaged the latest (2020-Nov-26) 13.0 image,
but it just tells me "This board requires newer software".
I haven't gone the UEFI route yet - since I'm just booting an SD
card (don't need USB boot from a disk drive.)
My PI 4 - 8GB says:
Raspberry Pi 4 - 8GB
bootloader: c305221a Sep 3 2020
config: 86697050
so the bootloader is pretty new.
It's getting
Read config.txt bytes 147 hnd 0x000003e3 hash '0370b4dfaea0caaf'
recover4.elf not found (6)

0x00d03114 0x00000000 0x00000000
start4.elf is not compatible
This board requires newer software

ERROR: 00000044
Insert SD-CARD
I'm guessing there's some obvious step I'm missing here; so perhaps
someone already has a write-up about this I just need to look for,
if there are any pointers.
Or - do I need to switch to a UEFI boot? Or is a Pi 4B-8GB just
not supported yet?
- Many thanks! -
