Just put FreeBSD 15 on a new Radxa Zero 3E. Was relatively painless. Per the wiki, got the ROCKPRO64 image and dd’ed it to SD, then dd’ed the two files from u-boot-radxa-zero3 package. Booted while monitoring via UART/serial. ntpdate to sync time. And that’s it. Network working. Temps look good. No hacks required.

Now to put it to the test. More to follow. #FreeBSD #Radxa #sbc

Anyone running #FreeBSD on #Radxa devices like the X4 or Zero 3E? I'd be curious to hear how close to "just works" your experience has been.

Update: The Radxa CM4 compute module with an RK3576 processor that we wrote about earlier this week is now available. As expected it's cheaper than the RK3588-powered CM5... but only $5 cheaper. https://liliputing.com/radxa-cm4-with-an-rk3576-processor-could-be-a-cheaper-alternative-to-the-radxa-cm5-with-rk3588/#RadxaCM5#Radxa#ComputeModule

The Radxa Cubie A7A is an upcoming credit card-sized computer with an Allwinner A733 processor (2 x Cortex-A76, 6 x Cortex-A55, BCM-4-64 graphics, and a 3 TOPS NPU) and up to 16GB RAM. Pricing hasn't been announced yet. https://www.cnx-software.com/2025/07/02/radxa-cubie-a7a-powerful-allwinner-a733-sbc-cortex-a76-a55-ai-soc-16gb-ram/#Radxa#RadxaCubieA7A#SBC#AllwinnerA733
