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

---> Perhaps you try again with the Khadas-fn-button...

On the Khadas docs there are two procedures that can be followed,but it's
not clear what's the correct one. It regards how many times I should press
the Fn button...

1)
Keys Mode (U-Boot is Running Normally)

   1. Power on Edge.
   2. *Long press the Function key without releasing it.*

2)TST Mode (Recommended)


   1. Power-on Edge.
   2. *Quickly press the Function key 3 times in 2 seconds, then release
   the key.*
   3. You will see the Power-LED (Blue) blink for about 3 seconds. After
   the Power-LED (Blue) turns OFF, this indicates that the board is in Upgrade
   Mode (Maskrom Mode).


1 or 2 ?
