Hi List:
I have been using FreeBSD current on amd64 for many years. I now have a
project that I want to try to run on FreeBSD. I'm trying to boot a
FreeBSD image on a BeagleBone Black Rev C without success.
FreeBSD-11.0-CURRENT-arm-armv6-BEAGLEBONE-20140903-r270990.img
FreeBSD-arm-10.0-BEAGLEBONE.img
The above images fail to boot.
Here is info from the Beaglebone that is currently running Arch linux
booted from the sd card:

I saw discussion on the list previously discussing: Re: [RFC] Add and
armv7hf TARGET_ARCH (Andrew Turner)
So, would someone please explain the status of FreeBSD on the BeagleBone
Black REV C, does it work now, are there plans to make it work, what is
the general timeframe?
I would appreciate any feedback. If there are any testing versions
available I would be happy to try and report the results and try to help debug. I
look forward to hearing your responses. Thanks in advance.
Andy
