This is a guide on how I set up the crochet build tool to compile an image for the Raspberry Pi 2. 

 h2. Prepare the Environment 

 * Make sure the system is up to date: 
 <pre> 
 pkg update && pkg upgrade 
 </pre> 

 * Install a couple dependencies: 
 <pre> 
 pkg install subversion git u-boot-rpi2 
 </pre> 

 * Checkout the FreeBSD 10-STABLE kernel sources: 
 <pre> 
 svn co svn://svn0.us-west.freebsd.org/base/stable/10 /usr/src 
 </pre> 
 #* (Alternatively) Checkout the latest FreeBSD head: 
 <pre> 
 svn co svn://svn0.us-west.freebsd.org/base/head /usr/src 
 </pre> 

 h2. Install Crochet 

 * Clone the latest crochet from GitHub: 
 <pre> 
 mkdir /usr/local/src && cd /usr/local/src 
 git clone https://github.com/freebsd/crochet.git 
 cd crochet 
 </pre> 

 * Create config file from the sample config provided: 
 <pre> 
 cp config.sh.sample config.sh 
 </pre> 

 * Edit the crochet config file: 
 <pre> 
 vi config.sh 
 </pre> 
 #* And modify the script to use the Raspberry Pi 2, and any additional parameters: 
 <pre> 
 board_setup RaspberryPi2 
 option ImageSize 1950mb 
 option Growfs 
 option User pi 
 option SwapFile 1024mb 
 </pre> 

 * Build the image: 
 <pre> 
 sh crochet.sh -c config.sh 
 </pre>
