Re: How to boot FreeBSD installed on the sd card on the Khadas Edge-V instead of Android

It happens mostly because the necessary source of informations that could
help me to make progress don't work on the khadas website :

1) https://dl.khadas.com/Firmware/Krescue/system/ : broken

2) docs.khadas.com : broken

3) https://youtu.be/ml2e6w8msfk : broken

--> follow the instructions of your vendor to get into Mask Mode : where ?

--> 1. Delete the SPI flash or install the u-boot port on it. (Instructions
in the pkg description) : where ?

--> 2. Delete the emmc or install FreeBSD on it : no idea about how to do
this

--> In short: if you have the u-boot port flashed onto the SPI, deleted the
emmc, and FreeBSD on the uSD, FreeBSD will boot : too generic.

--> so I don't want to reveal the trick for shorting the SPI pins to
interrupt detection during boot.

If it is about to touch some pins with a tweezer, I will not do it. I see
different methods to achieve this result. Why have you suggested the most
dangerous for a newbie ?
