Getting to Pi3 to work

[Christian Baer]

Hey everyone!

Has anyone here ever gotten a Pi3 to work with FreeBSD or NetBSD?

I bought two of the little critters last week and have been trying to
get either FreeBSD (which I use on my desktop and server @home) or
NetBSD (because the ARM-port seems to be more mature) to run on them.
However, with both images I can't get beyond the rainbow-screen.

Will I be stuck with Raspbian or Arch for a while or is was there some
memo with a trick that I didn't get?

Kind regards,
Chris

It's known not to work with FreeBSD (yet). There was talk at BSDCan and
one of the people involved in a lot of the ARM64 related work was
intending to look at getting FreeBSD to work on the RPi3. No idea about
NetBSD.

Cheers,

Matthew

Thanks for the info, Matt! In that case I will stop trying so hard. :-)
