List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 02 Dec 2020 02:32:45 -0000 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) recovery.elf not found (6) Read start4.elf bytes 2775076 hnd 0x00001ebc hash '0797505a72b169c3' Read fixup4.dat bytes 6193 hnd 0x00001c06 hash '5945fb04d1ba9299' 0x00d03114 0x00000000 0x00000000 start4.elf is not compatible This board requires newer software Get the latest software from https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/ 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! - - Dave Rivers - -- rivers@dignus.com Work: (919) 676-0847 Get your mainframe programming tools at http://www.dignus.com
