I installed 13.0-RC3 ARM64 from the DVD ISO image
(FreeBSD-13.0-BETA4-arm64-aarch64-dvd1.iso
<http://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/ISO-IMAGES/13.0/FreeBSD-13.0-BETA4-arm64-aarch64-dvd1.iso>).
There is no "if_qlnxe" kernel model present on the install media, or on
the system after installing.
Next I try to build a custom kernel. I add "device qlnxe" to the
configuration file as instructed in
https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=qlnxe&manpath=FreeBSD+13.0-current.
Running "make buildkernel KERNCONF=THUNDERX2" results in:
config: Error: device "qlnxe" is unknown
Is this module not available for ARM64 architecture?
Correct, this is only available for amd64.
HPS might have some more insight as to why it's amd64 only.
I have cc'd him.
It could be as simple as moving the qlnxe lines from files.amd64 to files,
but it does appear that qnlxe depends upon the Linux compat layer, which
may not be complete for arm64..
The LinuxKPI works for ARM64 aswell. Maybe the QLNXE driver is not
tested for ARM64.
