Hi all,
I get one laptop based on Qualcomm Snapdragon 8cx Gen 2, and Qualcomm Snapdragon is in FreeBSD Arm supported list. I want to install FreeBSD on it and download the image from:
https://download.freebsd.org/releases/arm64/aarch64/ISO-IMAGES/13.2/FreeBSD-13.2-RELEASE-arm64-aarch64-memstick.img

And make a pendrive installer by dd. The USB boot entry can be detected by arm BIOS, but it can't boot. I try Ubuntu 22.04 arm ISO, and make the pendrive, it can boot well.

Is FreeBSD arm image also depended on other HW components but not only SOC?
