Hi Anjana, See my comments below.
1. Here is the FreeBSD wiki aarch64 port https://wiki.freebsd.org/arm64. Someone has ported FreeBSD to Xilinx Zynq-7000 devices a. http://www.skibo.net/zedbsd/ b. https://wiki.freebsd.org/FreeBSD/arm/Zedboard c. https://github.com/freebsd/crochet d. https://github.com/freebsd/crochet/blob/master/board/ZedBoard/setup.sh 2. PetaLinux is backend Yocto and I haven’t seen more people posting questions on building FreeBSD in Yocto mailing list(Since 8 years). Someone should have ported FreeBSD using Yocto. Why don’t you send an email to yocto mailing list and copy meta-xilinx(meta-xil...@lists.yoctoproject.org<mailto:meta-xil...@lists.yoctoproject.org>) they might have recipes which you can use as reference. 3. Since we don’t know what are all the road blocks while porting FreeBSD to Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC It’s hard to predict evaluation timeline. Any board bring up for new hardware platform(using Yocto) will be 8-10 weeks. Also you can send an email to FreeBSD mailing list so that someone can help on this. We have some vendors who supports 3rd party OS and I don’t see anyone supporting FreeBSD. http://www.wiki.xilinx.com/3rd+Party+Operating+Systems Thanks, Sandeep From: anjan...@apple.com [mailto:anjan...@apple.com] Sent: Tuesday, December 19, 2017 12:16 PM To: Sandeep Gundlupet Raju <sande...@xilinx.com> Cc: Xilinx Support <xsupp...@xilinx.com>; Rami Halabi <ra...@xilinx.com>; Michael Tenenbaum <micha...@apple.com>; John Cirlia <jcir...@apple.com> Subject: Re: (SR#10421749) Support for FreeBSD +more Apple folks Thanks, Sandeep. Our team is new to the use of Linux, so could you help us answer the following questions: 1. Could you please point us to the website where we can download ARM64 port ? 2. We are currently using Petalinux to configure and build the image files. Can Petalinux still be used with FreeBSD or do we need a modified version of Petalinux to handle the differences? 3. We are also in the process of evaluating timelines, so it would be great if you could give us a rough idea about the effort required to port FreeBSD (for a Linux newbie).

My name is Sandeep and I’ll be assisting you with this Service Request (SR). I checked with tech marketing team(and haven't done it myself) and engineering haven't tried building FreeBSD for Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC devices. There is an official ARM64 port (with pre-existing binaries) available on the FreeBSD download site that they can give a try. In short we don't have any analysis data to provide for porting FreeBSD. Ds you have any other questions? Thanks, Sandeep ________________________________ When replying to this e-mail, please maintain the SR Number (10421749) and SR title "Support for FreeBSD" in the subject line and reply to all recipients. ________________________________ Issue Description: We wanted to understand the effort to use FreeBSD on A53 instead of Mainline linux v4.9 that is currently used by Petalinux.
