FreeBSD on pine64
#11
It's been about a month since the last update to this thread. So, as a new owner of an A64 and a Rock64, I'm kinda wondering: Have the issues with mainline FreeBSD been worked out yet?   Huh

e.g., The information on these two pages...


  1. https://wiki.freebsd.org/FreeBSD/arm/Allwinner
  2. https://wiki.freebsd.org/FreeBSD/arm/Allwinner/A64
...gives me hope!

A table on one of the pages posted https://wiki.freebsd.org/FreeBSD/arm/Allwinner  indicates that FreeBSD lacks support for HDMI output on AllWinner chips A31,A31S,A64,A83T, H3.  Am I misinterpreting this?  If this is the case, how hard would it be for someone to add it?  I am using a A64-OLinuXino board which is mainly the same as the Pine64,  as noted above my monitor displays the boot information but cuts out at some point through it.   I hooked up the serial debug console today and surprisingly the FreeBSD boot process apparently continues properly and eventually gives the the login prompt so FreeBSD is running on the board.  I used the image FreeBSD-13.0-CURRENT-arm64-aarch64-PINE64-20190531-R348447.IMG from the FreeBSD website Downloads page.

Armbian (Linux for Arm chips)boots properly with full monitor support.  I used the image provided by Olimex.

My question is, does anyone know how to get FreeBSD to boot with monitor support on the Pine64 (boards with Allwinner A64 chips)   
I have provided the boot info and have noted by bold text approximately where the HDMI output dies.

If anyone has any additional information or ideas they would be appreciated.
