I don't think FreeBSD ever produced images for them. I happen to have used one recently, and even have one within a few feet of me right now.. I don't remember what the last release I ran on them but both 10 and 11 both still have the AVILA config file: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/stable/11/sys/arm/conf/ You do have the benefit that the boards have u-boot on them (iirc), so you don't have to "deal" with building and putting a custom u-boot to load our loader, but I am trying to remember what I did to load our laoder to boot the UFS image from the CF card... Looks like most of this is documented on the wiki: https://wiki.freebsd.org/FreeBSDAvila I just updated the wiki to make sure people know that these boards are no longer supported. > At 02:25 PM 12/10/2020, Warner Losh wrote: > > >FreeBSD 9 or 10 or maybe 11 is your best bet.
