Bootable image for Macchatobin Double Shot?

Sat Apr 25 12:22:01 UTC 2020

Hi

Apologies for not responding to this earlier. Things got disorganised before I got organised.

Thanks for this response; I was able to make progress, but now I'm stuck.

This worked for me, thanks! I had to tell UEFI to use ACPI not Device_Tree, and I was
able to boot a recent FreeBSD-13 MemStick image off USB. With this I could install onto
SATA HDD with GPT volumes and ZFS filesystem.

So far so good! :-) - but see the dmesg(8) output at the end of this; there is a lot missing.

I have a PCIeX4 Intel dual ethernet card installed, and it doesn't appear on the booted
OS. NO PCi is visible, in fact, according to "pciconf -l".

I suspect that the lack of DTB is to blame, so I built a kernel with a modified
src/sys/modules/dtb/mv/Makefile to add armada-8040-mcbin.dts to the existing
armada-3720-espressobin.dts in the DTS.

At boot time, I loaded the resulting DTB (transcribed by hand):

OK unload
OK load boot/kernel/kernel
boot /kernel/kernel text=.... (etc)
OK load -t dts boot/dtb/marvell/armada-8040-mcbin.dtb
boot/dtb/marvell/armada-8040-mcbin.dtb size=0xb970
OK boot -v
Using DTB from loaded file 'boot/dtb/marvell/armada-8040-mcbin.dtb'.
******(nothing else)

... where the "*****" chars are my terminal's "unknown character" symbol. I can't
get any attempt to boot with DTB loaded to work; it always ends up with that short line
of garbage and nothing else.

Is the FDT stuff in CURRENT out of sync with the device drivers? I know Jacques
Schidt about FDT. :-)

I had similar problems to the folks in this thread, and I tried some of the same things.

I tried building a DTB (see above).

I tried using UEFI DTB - hang similar to above.

I tried a FreeBSD-12 image - boots with ACPI, but PCI not present. With UEFI DTB
I get the same hang.

Any ideas?
