#Avaota-A1 #Arm64 SBC is officially supported by Apache #NuttX RTOS (#Allwinner A527 SoC) ... Let's take #Unicorn Emulator and create a Software Emulator for Avaota SBC
FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE-p3 on ARM64 in QEMU:
― SDDM, pictured, is barely usable.
After login to Plasma (X11), resolution is limited to 800 x 600.
How can I avoid the issue with SDDM?
Host: Kubuntu 25.10, Virtual Machine Manager with Ramfb for video. Guest: non-base packages from the latest repos.
Not reproducible with FreeBSD 16.0-CURRENT on ARM64 in QEMU on the same host.
The webserver for my websites (https://blog.hofstede.it and others) is now runing on 15.1-RELEASE arm64 with PKGBase 🙂
Upgrade from 15.0 to 15.1was pleasantly boring:
https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/cutting-edge/#pkgbase
- Creating a BE for the new version
- Mounting the BE to /mnt/upgrade
- Executing "env ABI=FreeBSD:15:aarch64 pkg-static -c /mnt/upgrade upgrade -r FreeBSD-base"
- bectl activate -t 15.1-RELEASE
- Rebooting the system
Everything working fine, all lights green
