--lCAWRPmW1mITcIfM Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi, I'm configuring an Olimex A20 micro with FreeBSD 11 r306420, it's the offic= ial image for the CubieBoard2 where I just changed the CB2 DTB for that of the A20micro compiled from kernel sources. Basically it boots fine, USB and ethernet seem to work and I can access it = by serial console and ssh; the problem is that I can't get virtual terminals o= n the VGA monitor, also the usb keyboard doesn't work, it doesn't even light the = Caps Lock key, however USB works because I connect to internet with a usb 3g mod= em. So I have the doubt if maybe there is no support at all for VGA output in t= his board, or if I should load any module, use some option some place or recomp= ile the kernel with some specific driver support. When booting it says: VT: init without driver. and: kbd0 at kbdmux0 (I guess this is the serial console keyboard?) When doing conscontrol, it says: Configured: ttyu0 Available: ttyu0,ttyv0 Muting: off Then " sysctl kern.console=3Dttyv0" returns: kern.console: ttyu0,/ttyu0,ttyv0, -> ttyv0,ttyu0,/ttyu0,ttyv0, And after that conscontrol returns: Configured: ttyv0,ttyu0 Available: ttyu0,ttyv0 Muting: off But no output in the VGA monitor and the usb keyboard doesn't work either. Then if I set kern.console=3Dttyv0 in /etc/sysctl.conf it hangs in the boot process just here: Starting file system checks: u It shows that "u" for 5 seconds or so and then reboot and does the same aga= in and again. I tried to enable ttyv[1-7] in /dev/ttys, but after booting it just says: getty[581]: open /dev/ttyv1: No such file or directory I was trying to set up X with the scfb driver, but it seems the driver is n= ot in the kernel, and I don't see a module for it, it should be "sc.ko" isn't it? If I could just get a 80x25 text console in the VGA monitor it would be gre= at, I guess it shouldn't be so difficult, isn't it?
