Building releng/13.3 for BeagleBone Black

[ppaeps]

I have a crusty old BeagleBone Black with a very old 12-CURRENT crochet build on it. I realise eventually this board will need to die (TI support is gone in stable/14), but I'd like to get a final releng/13.3 on it, to squeeze a couple more years of life out of it.

board_setup BeagleBone
option ImageSize 3900mb
option User philip
FREEBSD_SRC=${TOPDIR}/../releng-133

Building with sudo ./crochet.sh -c bbb.sh falls over with:

I tried doing a clean build. Also falls over here.

I guess arm/uboot moved somewhere between the last time someone loved crochet and releng/13.3.

Anyone have a clue to save me some time grepping please? :)

There are a whole bunch of U-boot ports, some of which were even created, and then depreciated. I myself maintain an out of tree, you u-boot port.  Most ports, I think, rely on a master port. Mine is just a few patches on top of that.  You might check out the last u-boot port for your board and use that or try using the latest u-boot with the existing master port framework.  I’m not quite sure how you would patch this into crochet, however.I did use crochet for a while, but then I switched over to using the native make targets with cross compiling. It’s really not that hard and I can help you if you like.ChristopherOn May 20, 2024, at 4:56 PM, Philip Paeps ***@***.***> wrote: I have a crusty old BeagleBone Black with a very old 12-CURRENT crochet build on it.

I'm not married to crochet. :)

If you have another way of building an image I can dd to my /dev/mmcsd1, I'm all ears.

Many thanks!
