Unexpected XHCI event TRB, = Skipping > 6a0 000000004 01000000 01008401) That output looks like U-Boot output, before FreeBSD's UEFI loader has been loaded. (I'd be more sure if there was more context.) Of course the RPi* firmware and .dtb starts being involved before U-Boot starts and, so, is involved. I actually use my own U-Boot build, in part because some of my USB3 boot media require something like a usb_pgood_delay for U-Boot to tolerate them. My in-use build is based on 2023.01 : # strings /boot/efi/u-boot.bin.2023.01.arm64 | grep "U-Boot 20" U-Boot 2023.01 (Feb 06 2023 - 08:06:49 +0000) (My config.txt references that name.)

I avoid the development versions when I can. I had no trouble with the firmware-1.20230405 materials, the most recent tagged release available. The RPi4B context is the 8 GiByte Rev 1.5 with the "C0T" part number label on the top of the SOC. The tagged versions are available via: https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/tags/ The most recent there is: https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/releases/tag/1.20230405/ I downloaded: = https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/archive/refs/tags/1.20230405.tar.g= z and did: # tar -xf 1.20230405.tar.gz firmware-1.20230405/boot/ = firmware-1.20230405/README.md # rm ~/firmware-1.20230405/boot/kernel*.img to extract the relvent material. I updated one of the RPi4B USB3 boot media to have this firmware (and .dtb's) in its msdosfs file system. It booted the 8 GiByte RPi4B Rev 1.5 just fine (based, in part, on my U-Boot build, however). The media I picked to test with has not had its FreeBSD updated in a while: # uname -apKU FreeBSD CA72_UFS 14.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 14.0-CURRENT #90 = main-n261544-cee09bda03c8-dirty: Wed Mar 15 20:25:49 PDT 2023 = root@CA72_16Gp_ZFS:/usr/obj/BUILDs/main-CA72-nodbg-clang/usr/main-src/arm6= 4.aarch64/sys/GENERIC-NODBG-CA72 arm64 aarch64 1400082 1400082 =3D=3D=3D Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com
