Just tried the latest FreeBSD on RPI image on my rpi4-4GB system. Here's what I experienced in case anyone else is interested: - Install method - I just dd'd the unxz'd image from the download site onto a new microSD card. - used a serial port connected RPI to another RPI using a ttl to usb cable. - powered on, freebsd booted up just fine. root@generic:~ # uname -a ; df -h ; sysctl hw | grep physmem FreeBSD generic 13.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 13.0-CURRENT #0 r361019: Thu May 14 09:12:43 UTC 2020 root@releng1.nyi.freebsd.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/arm64.aarch64/sys/GENERIC arm64 Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ufs/rootfs 29G 2.6G 24G 10% / devfs 1.0K 1.0K 0B 100% /dev /dev/msdosfs/MSDOSBOOT 50M 25M 25M 50% /boot/msdos tmpfs 50M 4.0K 50M 0% /tmp hw.physmem: 973434880 I pluged in a USB connected SSD and it was not recognized on either USB2 or USB3 ports. And the memory size is not reporting the full 4GB as can be seen above. Ethernet is working without any changes (dhcp kicked in by default) and seems to work. Not sure about the on-board WiFI. That's it, if anyone knows the status of the USB support or how to get the system to see all the memory, let me know :-) Dan
