Yes Samsung is very reputed and have stable support in open source drivers.
Ignore lexar or pny and unbranded ones. Kingston A4000 had issues but should be fine.
FreeBSD 13-CURRENT on Rock Pi4
@spykerguy, reason fo asking was the following comment on Radxaās forum:
Known working under Linux kernel but not directly in bootloader(uSD/eMMC + NVMe booting)* Samsung EVO series( M key, NVMe ), work well on ROCK Pi 4, fast speed <-- Warning nvme boot via SPI is not possible (970 EVO Plus)
Could also imagine this issue has been solved by now.
Thatās completed different issue.
Not able to boot from nvme has not much to do with nvme drive support instead it nvme interface support in uboot.
It is good point to consider all this buying buying indeed.
OK, received my Rock PI 4 yesterday and trying to boot FreeBSD-13 (on SD card) but failing so far. Flashed U-Boot in SPI (Radxa instruction) hence U-Boot starts but has difficulties in loading the kernel.
Was thinking that FreeBSD requires a specific U-Boot version to be flashed in the SPI to make this work. Any suggestion ?
FreeBSD image have its own uboot on the image.
Which uboot did you flash on SPI ?
Do you have any logs from uart debug port ?
This one https://dl.radxa.com/rockpi/images/loader/spi/rockpi4b-uboot-trust-spi_2017.09-2692-gdf20631bd8_20200824.img as I couldnāt find any newer. Would welcome a link in case a more recent version is available
In the console getting error messages related to partition not being valid.
Sounds like the uboot does not have support for partition type used by bsd or its a vendor uboot mostly used for android ?
Someone from Radxa team can advice on the latest spi uboot image.
For mainline u-boot, you can just use SF command in u-boot to write to spi flash.
Check the document here, SPI section:
https://u-boot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/board/rockchip/rockchip.html
I have now flashed the armbian u-boot to my 4c SPI which means FreeBSD ( FreeBSD-aarch64-13.0-RELEASE-Rock-Pi-4C-20211031.img ) gets a bit further towards booting but it still doesnāt boot as far as showing any FreeBSD kernel messages or getting to the login prompt:

Hi!
Unfortunately the current FreBSD kernel does not support HDMI video
via EFI FB in 4K(3840x2160) mode.
Maximum FULLHD supported.
This issue is fixed by forcing u-boot to 1920x1080 mode. If you try to load my image from an SD card or eMMC, I think it will work for you on a 4K monitor but in FULLHD mode.
So far, this is the only solution Iāve found. Use mask rom mode.
Hi Sleepwalker
Unfortunately not. I tried booting your FreeBSD image off uSD, eMMC and NVME but all three failed.
Hi @Dan_MacDonald!
This may be because you have uboot on SPI FLASH and it starts first.
If you donāt see the FreeBSD orbit logo on the screen, that means itās not my uboot that is starting.
Everything is very simple.
Booting from an SD card in mask rom mode has always helped me.
In any case, you can always get reliable startup if you turn on a FULL HD monitor.

Yes I do have u-boot on SPI. I will try again in mask rom mode.
Is it possible to it install to and boot off the nvme disk using ZFS?
Hi @Dan_MacDonald.
Yes of course it is possible.
You need to use the bsdinstall utility after logging in as root from the console.
Or via ssh like
Username: admin
Password: admin
admin@rock-pi:~ % su -
root@rock-pi:~ # bsdinstall
In this case, bsdinstall should write the correct uboot to the eMMC,
this will happen automatically.
Donāt forget to clear the contents of the SPI FLASH after bsdinstall is complete.
Use command
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/flash/spi0 bs=4k status=progress
I hope everything will work for you.
If uboot is on eMMC and NVMe contains ZFS root FS, you will get successful OS boot from NVMe.
I havenāt tested this for a long time,
but I think Iām not mistaken and everything should be exactly like this.
Good luck.

I have got it to boot now, off uSD. I had to enable maskrom mode and remove my nvme disk. I get a (full HD) HDMI display but unfortunately its cropped and doesnāt quite fit so I cannot see the whole of the bottom row of text ie the command line itself and so I can only really use its terminal via ssh or UART unless I type blind.
Iāve not tried installing it yet - Iām mainly interested to see if FreeBSD can utilise the full speed of the NVME interface ie PCIe 2.0 speeds. If the FreeBSD devs can get 4K output and the wifi working then I might consider switching from Manjaro.
Cool to see a BSD booting on the RockPi4!

So far no one uses aarch64 on 4k FreeBSD displays 
But we hope that the drm for aarch4 project will be completed soon.

I have successfully installed FreeBSD to NVME on my rockpi4.
FreeBSD manages over 300 MB/s read speeds using ZFS according to diskinfo so it looks like it does support PCIe-gen2.
I have armbian uboot on SPI and I was able to boot the freebsd image from nvme, but I didnāt know how to install. In this case, with bsdintall do I should boot a desktop simply?
