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

indeed seems that Khadas provides some equivalents to
rkdeveloptool ( standard tool for Rockchip)
..so,yes, in short :

-connect the board to your other machine where you have rkdeveloptool(or whatever tool) installed
-put the board into MaskRom mode
- erase/flash spi/emmc as you wish & as described by your chosen tool/vendor

that`s it…

—example: —
assuming the current unwanted u-boot currently sits  on the spi & you want to erase the spi …:
the Command is : 'rkdeveloptool ef‘
.. and so on and so forth
