Hello Tim, today I am building an image with crochet from FreeBSD 11 source, previously I was working successfully with FreeBSD 10 source set, I would like to explore the work of Xuebing Wang trying to include his patches to increase the CPU frequency. I will try to patch u-boot 2014.01. I had some trouble before trying to = use sysutils/u-boot-beaglebone-eabi.=20 Thank you for valuable work, until now. cheers, Fabio On Apr 20, 2014, at 18:27 , Tim Kientzle <kientzle@freebsd.org> wrote: > I just pushed a couple of changes to Crochet that I thought folks = would be especially interested in: >=20 > * All boards: Corrected instructions for building xdev tools. >=20 > The instructions printed out by Crochet now include the right > flags for building a correct GCC cross-compiler.
