Build a FreeBSD image
- Fetch a devicetree image
fetch https://builds.96boards.org/snapshots/dragonboard410c/linaro/ubuntu/latest/dt.img
Load a FreeBSD kernel using fastboot
- You will need the Android fastboot utility available in the android-tools-fastboot package:
pkg install android-tools-fastboot
Follow the 96boards instruction to create an SD card with a rescue image. For example:
fetch 'http://builds.96boards.org/releases/dragonboard410c/linaro/rescue/latest/dragonboard410c_sdcard_rescue*.zip' tar xvf dragonboard410c_sdcard_rescue\*.zip sudo dd if=db410c_sd_rescue.img of=/dev/da0 bs=64k
Install the SD card and set the SD boot switch on the bottom of the DragonBoard to on and turn on the power.
Use fastboot to boot the image. Caution: /sbin/fastboot is a link to /sbin/reboot, so be sure that you execute the correct one!
