Hello Bernd Walters,

Here is my personal blog about running FreeBSD 14 CURRENT on Raspi 4B.

https://ghostbsd-arm64.blogspot.com/2021/02/download-freebsd-140-current-version.html 
<https://ghostbsd-arm64.blogspot.com/2021/02/download-freebsd-140-current-version.html>

I welcome your feed back and comments there on that blog entry, as what 
works for you.

Here is my recent email to freebsd-arm with links to telegram Group ARM 
Open-Source where we are testing FreeBSD 14.0 on Raspi hardware.   Goal 
is to get ready for GhostBSD ARM64.

Here is where I got the RPI image for FreeBSD 14.0 Current

Here is the config.txt file changes  for /boot/config.txt on the microSD 
card

#HDMI_safemode=1

# For a HDMI screen size of 1920x1080 pixels use the following

hdmi_group=1
hdmi_mode=16

# For set HDMI audio out in a LINUX raspberry pi document from 2012  I 
will be trying this for enabling on FreeBSD.  don't know if it works yet.

hdmi_drive=2


How do you get HDMI audio out on your setup Bernard Walter?

The USB audio setup was automatic when I plugged in Logitec 390 USB 
Headphones.

Will have to check the latest version  of FreeBSD 14.0 Currrent image.  
Yes looks the same.

My monitor is plugged in and turned on when I booted the Raspberry Pi 4B 
with 8 gigs of dram memory.
