Hello to everyone. I was going to build a custom u-boot for my project (I want to use the Radxa 3W for building a FreeBSD based smartphone) and look at what I see in the ports tree… sysutils/u-boot-radxa-zero3 <http://www.freshports.org/sysutils/u-boot-radxa-zero3> So for u-boot I tried : pkg install -y u-boot-radxa-zero3 > Then ` cd /usr/local/share/u-boot/u-boot-radxa-zero3` > Then ` cat README` > dd if=idbloader.img of=/dev/daX seek=64 bs=512 conv=sync dd if=u-boot.itb > of=/dev/daX seek=16384 bs=512 conv=sync So,I tried to “burn” the bootloaders file inside the official FreeBSD image for the RockPro64,doing something like this : # dd if=idbloader.img of=FreeBSD-14.2-RELEASE-arm64-aarch64-ROCKPRO64.img > seek=64 bs=512 conv=sync,notrunc # dd if=u-boot.itb > of=FreeBSD-14.2-RELEASE-arm64-aarch64-ROCKPRO64.img seek=16384 bs=512 > conv=sync,notrunc # dd if=FreeBSD-14.2-RELEASE-arm64-aarch64-ROCKPRO64.img > | pv | dd of=/dev/sdh My goal is to be able to have the HDMI working on the 720x720 screen that I’ve bought : https://it.aliexpress.com/item/1005008099495351.html to be able to use it as a component in the phone that I’m trying to create. If I "dd" those files to the RockPro image file,the screen remains black. I cannot boot a rockpro64 image (FreeBSD-14.2-RELEASE-arm64-aarch64-ROCKPRO64.img / rk3399) on a rk356x based board, they are way different. So,I want to ask you which image file should I use to install those bootloader files. Thanks. -- Mario.
