Ahh, what I meant was that it uses same CPU etc as the rockpro64, so I = assumed (wrongly ?) that they are at least somewhat similar. >=20 >> However, it does not like the stock 13-arm64 image, so before I dig = in, has anyone else gotten this cutie to boot ? >=20 > What image are you refering too ? What do you mean by "it does not > like" ? I just tried the latest current image = "FreeBSD-13.0-CURRENT-arm64-aarch64-20191226-r356085-memstick.img", and = it just seems to hang without any output to the console, but alas if it = needs a new u-boot/dts that=E2=80=99s to be expected. I also grapped a pinebookpro.dts from some site I forgot, they look more = or less identical. > I've been able to boot to multiuser using mainline u-boot + mainline > atf with this patch for u-boot : > https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1194525/ Hmm, OK, going to look into that one, does that still boot the ahem, = linux its born with ? > I have some weird issue on the console like weird char are drawn from > time to time (looks like it's when there is a lot of output from the > console).

Yeah, getting 1500000 baud is a pain, I had to try several picks from = the bunch of cheap Chinese adapters here as well, settled on a FT232 = clone that seems to work. > USB Doesn't work.

OK; I=E2=80=99l get at build evn setup here so I can play with it, lets = see how far I get then. >=20 > There is, of course, no video support for now. Endeed, that would be one of the really nice things to get working. Anyhow its actually a nice piece of kit, amazing what you can get for = 200$ nowadays. -S=C3=B8ren=
