Hi,
Trying to run any version of freebsd on the zero 2w.
I believe the earlier generation pi zero could run FreeBSD as well as other Pis.
Hi Robert,
Welcome to the forum!
After looking around the web for information, there does not seem to be an image available that’s ready to go for the Pi Zero 2W.
That’s not to say that there wont be support in the future though, I’d check out the supported platforms here: arm/Raspberry Pi - FreeBSD Wiki
If you have any follow-ups, feel free to add them to comments.
Good luck with your project!
Sophia
Thanks. I will report back if I get it working.

Went to FreeBSD.org and downloaded FreeBSD-14.0-RC4-arm64-aarch64-RPI.img
-
Used the Raspberry Pi Imager and chose the custom operating system FreeBSD-14.0-RC4-arm64-aarch64-RPI.img and wrote it to a micro SD card
-
On my MAC, after running the Raspberry Pi Imager, the SD card showed up as a folder named EFI. Within the EFI folder I renamed the file bcm2710-rpi-3-b.dtb to bcm2710-rpi-zero-2.dtb per FreeBSD Bugzilla Bug 261147 (bugs.freebsd.org). This allowed u-boot to run when the zero 2 w was powered up. Also within the EFI folder is a file config.txt. I edited config.txt changing [pi4] to [pi02]. This was from the raspberry pi documentation on the config.txt file
-
The Pi zero 2 booted after several minutes and I was able to login as root with password root
-
Viewing the messages log in /var/log clk_fixed2: clock-fixed has no clock-frequency and possibly is a symptom for the long boot.
Hardware: Pi zero 2 w powered by a USB charger (3.0A capable) , with a USB hub with attached usb mouse and keyboard, hdmi to TV.
I make no claim that this is a correct setup. It is just a bootable setup.

Need the dtb file for the zero 2 W
Acquired dtb for zero 2 w and zero 2 from 2023-10-10-raspios distribution and tried. The same problem with the
clock: no time-of-day clock registered . . ., system time will not be set accurately. Behaviour is the same(very long boot time) when booting FreeBSD 14 RC4.
Got a fast FreeBSD boot by removing all .dtb files from the microSD except for bcm2710-rpi-zero-2-w.dtb from the raspios distribution.
With a config.txt:
[all]
arm_64bit=1
dtparam=audio=on,i2c_arm=on,spi=on
dtoverlay=mmc
dtoverlay=disable-bt

Lovely to hear, Robert!
Thanks for passing on those tips about a faster boot 
You are very welcome. Now onto Networking …
Good luck!
Looking forward to hearing about your future projects!
Hi Robert,
I’ve just followed your instructions.
Nevertheless, booting is extremely slow, even delays.
You talked about timer trouble. Is it related to ?
Thank you by advance for your light !
I am realizing standard freebsd boot times. Time to be up and connected to network is 40 seconds roughly for me but that is without optimizing and thats with the GENERIC (everything) kernel.
I do not have any timer issues other than some console messages during boot up.
I am using the FreeBSD.org website for reference. The zero 2 w is a winner. I wish a zero 2 (without the w) was readily available.

Using released arch64 FreeBSD 14.0 with standard freeBSD kernel updates after loading.
Kernel compiled on Zero 2 w insitu.

I’ve found my mistake:
I didn’t remove
armstub=armstub8-gic.bin
from config.txt.
And it changes all.
It’s great, now.
Thank you, Robert for your support.
Have a nice day.
Cheers
