FreeBSD for Clusterboard (V1.1) [*WIP]

[paradise]

manu@FreeBSD here.

You talk about patches, where are they ?
For SD boot I know that andrew@ booted some sopine module from sdcard on the clusterboard so it should definitely work.
Framebuffer works (well EFIFB work), on pine64-lts and Pinebook.
USB should work, it work on Pine64/-LTS/Book so I don't see why it doesn't here.

eMMC boot you need the patch or it will crash.
Thermal patched so it works (needed for our cluster)
CPU Freq also fixed needed more then 800Mhz and need it for stats and monitoring/thermal control. 
DMA and SRAM patched a little so it works with the ethernet controller and get more speed
Famebuffer don't need it on the cluster so currently removed from the DTB because of errors at boot and early fitting issue with the DTB in the SPL version of the kernel but that's on hold until more bugs are fixed. (Kernel gets placed into SPL and almost instant boots the kernel when you power up the node)
USB on clusterboard I tested 2 nodes can plug-in stuff but nothing happens, didn't check into it that much, don't need USB.

Just inserted USB key in this node;

Code:

# usbconfig list
ugen0.1: <Allwinner EHCI root HUB> at usbus0, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=HIGH (480Mbps) pwr=SAVE (0mA)
ugen1.1: <Generic OHCI root HUB> at usbus1, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=FULL (12Mbps) pwr=SAVE (0mA)
ugen3.1: <Generic OHCI root HUB> at usbus3, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=FULL (12Mbps) pwr=SAVE (0mA)
ugen2.1: <Allwinner EHCI root HUB> at usbus2, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=HIGH (480Mbps) pwr=SAVE (0mA)

* Looks like nothing to me * :-)
