CURRENT: ARM64 support: Odroid-C2

[O. Hartmann]

I have a quick question about using FreeBSD 12-CURRENT on an Odroid-C2 SoC.

I tried the most recent image found on the repository provided by FreeBSD.org, but neither
on SD card nor on USB drive the image boots. I just dd'd the image to the appropriate
memory device, so I didn't investigate much.

It didn't work.Googling around poped up some notes on this Odroid-C2 device from October
this year and it stated, that there is boot capability via TFTP, others state that USB is
working to boot off the Odroid-C2, but not from SD, another comment states, that after
some console command isuues, TFTP boot is possible. But it seems not to be possible from
the onboard NIC.

Well, I have already utilised NanoBSD and managed with some home-brewn patches to create
EFI/GPT images as well as as the historical MBR images. The question is, wether it would
be possible to create an AARCH64 image (I never cross compiled with NanoBSD and I doubt
it will be possible so easily since QEMU is/seems broken on 12-CURRENT) which will bott
off at least from either USB or SD card.

Thanks in advance,

Oliver
