On: FreeBSD 14.0-RC1 Now Available

[torcete]

I have an old beaglebone black that I like to use with FreeBSD. Last time I tried, I was unable to make it book with the armv7 generic version.

Has anybody any successful experience running FreeBSD on the beaglebone?

I didn't have any problems installing it, though it was not very zippy in installation. What part failed for you?

It didn't even boot. However, I did a bit of research and I probably confused the proc type. Under Linux it claims to be:

model name : ARMv7 Processor rev 2 (v7l)

Which is a 32 bit processor. If I go to the download page: https://download.freebsd.org/releases/arm/armv7/ISO-IMAGES/1...

That made be believed it is for my processor, but no, that's a 64 bit version.

I guess I just need to find a 32 bit version image.
