Mostly my time is focused on the pkgbase project since that represents the best way to update ARM devices and is really important for FreeBSD on ARM.
I have a "working" Crochet for 11-Stable that will build on the RPI2, if you need it.. .I could make it available. It's a bit older, but functional and is what I use for the RPI2 series.
I haven't built on it for the last couple of months but it certainly should still work...
Hi,
I can download 11.1 from freebsd repo, thx.
I have a list of packages and configs that I bake into my image with crochet. If i go with clean install then it takes too long time to install the packages.
I believe there is a migration from u-boot-rpiX to rpi-firmware package, but I cannot say for sure, I didn't find any official information.
Just to be sure. Is necessary to run crochet on -current or can it run on -stable? I do run it on -stable with a -current source and so far that is ok.
Also I have used a union mount to merge rpi-firmware over u-boot-rpi2 which works fine. rpi1 needs different approach
Nope, building on -STABLE is fine. Assuming you are only one major version number behind as FreeBSD only guarantees that.
I have built a new image from head branch with a copy of rpi-firmware to u-boot-rpi2 folder under /usr/local/share.
When booting uboot doesnt load the kernel it stops with boottp.
thx
FYI: Building on 11.1-RELEASE and earlier fails due to absence of the whole /usr/src/stand tree in the source code. So crocket is not useful even on the latest RELEASE version of FreeBSD which is quite sad...
11.2 it works, you will have to create a symlink to dst file in src tree
@PetruGarstea why 'arm' folder is missing? Not needed? Maybe:
# mkdir -p /usr/src/sys/dts/arm
# ln -s /usr/src/sys/boot/fdt/dts/arm/rpi2.dts /usr/src/sys/dts/arm/rpi2.dts
@DenisPolygalov in 11 and 12 versions the path is different and crochet is targeting only with the head, the above small changes allows to build 11.2 release with crochet
Greetings,
I haven't touched crochet for over 6 months, I wanted to build a new image and during debugging I found that
Please update the status of the project or where I can find the future plans, changelogs and other news.
Cheers, Petru
