Get my right, I've used FreeBSD-current often to enable some features that I needed on a specific machine, and yes, it's not unlikely to get in trouble with that, at least at specific time points. I know that, but that isn't a complaint from me about that, it's just to explain why I not getting any results at all.
The same again..I've tried for a week to get it sorted out myself, After that time I've asked a question and the answer was just silence. Even an answer like "please use the 5.15 kernel, 6.1.33 has to many bugs currently" is helpful, even if you have almost no time. 2nd, I don't think that you are the only one that reads here Igor..
It's clear, you tried to answer in detail and I'm happy with that. You shouldn't do any work for me, I only expected a hint where to begin.
As an example I couldn't find any syntax definition for the overlays, I tried this..and found out that the environment wasn't loaded at all.
I still don't know where to put changes, but I'll look what I get when I changed the build environment to somewhat with a stable kernel release.
(armbian-config .. have tried..nothing happened, same problem with the boot environment mit the device tree)
That with the not supported hardware... 🙂 nice try. You know exactly as good as I do that this isn't related to any specific HW, this problem exists exactly in the same way on any armv7 device... 2nd thing is that Cubieboard2 has "community support" regarding the website..not "no support".
The wife and the kids..it seems that you are in a similar age as I'm, why do you think things may different here?
At the moment I have the FreeBSD SD card in the Cubieboard and will try to figure out how I get the HW flow control enabled on the 2nd uart. When this is cleared, I'm trying to get another Armbian build environment and will try again.
I'll report here, ok?
..fully agree. I'm not happy every time with FreeBSD that I use since version 2.0, when it was available and usable on peecees. Previous experience was
with BSD2.9 on a russian PDP11 (SM1420) and with BSD4.3 on a east german VAX11/780 (Robotron RVS K1840). I've used Linux before VERSION 1.0
then SVR4.2 (got a License) later FreeBSD, but I'm suggesting Linux to less experienced ppl, the Laptop from my wife is running Mint. It isn't relevant to make war about that, it's relevant to get the job done. Since Linux is the more advanced OS on the Cubieboard (no wonder at all) I'm tried to use that, it's simple.
(still have an PDP11/83 running RT, RSX and 2.11BSD)
