Hello FreeBSD team,

We have upgraded our FreeBSD kernel from 12 to main branch and with latest main branch one of our boxes with
Broadcom iProc Northstar2 BCM5871X SoC (Quad-core ARM Cortex-A57 64-bit 2GHz ARMv8-A CPU architecture) is crashing at mtx_spin_lock_flags(), with data_abort exception.
Sometimes the exception is raised at DPCPCU_PTR() functions.

Has anyone tried to boot freeBSD14 on the above mentioned BCM SoC?

Please share your inputs and comment

I don’t know of any issues with either of these, and don’t know of anyone running FreeBSD on this SoC.

Can you provide more details on what is failing, e.g. the boot log?

Andrew
