Re: How to boot FreeBSD installed on the sd card on the Khadas Edge-V instead of Android

What's the right combination to boot FreeBSD that I've installed on the sd
card ?
I'm trying this method :

Keys Mode (U-Boot is Running Normally)

   1. Power on Edge.
   2. Long press the Function key without releasing it.
   3. Short press the ‘Reset’ key and release it.
   4. Count for 2 to 3 seconds, then release the ‘Function’ key to enter
   into Upgrade Mode. You will see the sys-led turn ON when you’ve entered
   Upgrade Mode (Loader Mode).

but it does not work. Android boots every time.
