I have FreeBSD running on my BananaPro, I used FreeBSD-11.0-ALPHA6-arm-armv6-BANANAPI-20160701-r302303.img.xz to install but FreeBSD-11.0-RC3-arm-armv6-BANANAPI.img.xz should work also.
Everything seems to work apart from the Wireless NIC. |

I was trying to get FreeBSD running on my (SinoVOIP) BPi (M1) a few months ago but there were various issues such as USB not working plus no audio or IR support. If you have a LeMaker BPi you may have more luck.
I'd be interested to hear from anyone who has tried it more recently how much success you had. |

I have Lemaker's Banana Pro, I have failed to make FreeBSD 10.3 (stable) run on it. The latest snapshot ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBS ... v6/ISO-IMAGES/10.3/
dated 08/09/2016 doesn't produce anything, while the one dated 07/14/2016 blink for a brief moment on a screen (I guess that is U-boot), but hangs afterwards.
Although FreeBSD's wiki says Banana Pi is supported, I can't make it to run on Banana Pro, allegedly the same board. |

I've just had a quick go of FreeBSD-11.0-RC1-arm-armv6-BANANAPI.img on my sinovoip BPi M1. USB seems to be working now but HDMI out isn't working for me.
Also, the IR receiver and SPI are unsupported under FreeBSD. |

BananaPro isn't supported on FreeBSD FreeBSD-11.0-RC2. I have tried FreeBSD-11.0-RC2-arm-armv6-BANANAPI.img on BananaPro, it completes U-boot, and hangs afterwards, unable to boot.
Shame, if I had known this, i would have purchased BananaPi instead of BananaPro. |

Thanks for your support, I have finally managed to login through ssh freebsd pass freebsd. FreeBSD11-RC3 works on BananaPro (apart from HDMI), and I have discovered that I have a faulty USB to RS232 cable, so ssh was the only possibility left.
BTW, the gren light isn't blinking, I suppose it is because wi-fi doesn't work on FreeBSD yet, but I'm fine with ethernet.
