It's still June isn't it??? Working from home for so many weeks I've lost a= ll sense of time, but I'm pretty sure it isn't July yet :-) (I haven't tried this branch but presumably it has whatever fixed the 8 GB = model.) > Could you provide a u-boot binary and/or your modified armstub8-gic.bin f= or the wiki? I'm using the armstub8-gic.bin from /usr/local/share/rpi-firmware/armstub8-= gic.bin. I don't believe the upstream Pi Foundation code has changed for th= e 8 GB model. I'll mail you the u-boot.bin directly. > Afaik u-boot 2020.07 has new patches for genet and pcie(!)=E2=80=A6 do yo= u know details about that? Don't see either working here, but I haven't investigated more than mashing= the keyboard on boot. :) (Also, if it were fixed, presumably the xhci cont= roller would have the right firmware loaded before FreeBSD started.) =E2=80=90=E2=80=90=E2=80=90=E2=80=90=E2=80=90=E2=80=90=E2=80=90 Original Me= ssage =E2=80=90=E2=80=90=E2=80=90=E2=80=90=E2=80=90=E2=80=90=E2=80=90 On Saturday, 6 June 2020 19:41, Klaus K=C3=BCchemann <maciphone2@googlemail= .com> wrote: > Thanks Robert, > can I or can you transfer your information into the wiki? > My 8GB model was not bootable under UEFI. > I didn't know that u-boot had a current patch. > Could you provide a u-boot binary and/or your modified armstub8-gic.bin f= or the wiki? > I could upload that to a server and make it available for download . > Do you know whether sysutils/u-boot.xx- port(not pkg) could be targeted t= o 2020.07 > to fix any issue with u-boot? > Afaik u-boot 2020.07 has new patches for genet and pcie(!)=E2=80=A6 do yo= u know details about that? > > > Am 06.06.2020 um 20:15 schrieb Robert Crowston via freebsd-arm freebsd-= arm@freebsd.org: > > What works: > > > > - FreeBSD SMP (see below) > > - All 8 GB of memory (less video RAM). > > > > What does not work on the 8 GB model (but does work on the 4 GB model): > > > > - xhci (with my driver, there has been a change in the way the firmwa= re is loaded) > > - ethernet (genet0 is detected fine, appears to be up, but no packets= go over the interface) > > - JTAG debugging (urgh) > > > > dmesg: https://dmesgd.nycbug.org/index.cgi?do=3Dview&id=3D5534 > > You will need the latest u-boot.
