--_000_PSAP153MB0536ABA1A82461F1474A3389CCD79PSAP153MB0536APCP_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi, I am trying to get the virtual serial console to access via putty while boo= ting FreeBSD 13 arm64 bootonly on Hyper-V. Setting console=3D"efi" is not helping to have the virtual serial console a= ccess using putty for ARM64. It is before any kernel module loaded. I can get the loader output in vmconnect.exe but not in the putty. Though I can see VM is getting connected to Hyper-V virtual COM1 console. B= ut no output is coming to putty. I have following question : Any specific support from EFI firmware, is required for virtual serial to w= ork in EFI loader in this phase of loading? I can see FreeBSD EFI loader is able to read the ConInDev and ConOutDev var= iables. With set console=3D"efi" or set console=3D"comconsole,efi" or set console= =3D"efi" , nothing in getting redirected in putty in arm64. But in X86 that is not the problem. Without this debugging the bring up of FreeBSD on arm64 Hyper-V is quite di= fficult. Any help or pointers are really appreciated.
