A few notes about what was done . . .
The more modern FreeBSD source replaced some of my old
hacks that allowed booting the Pine64+ 2GB via emmc on
a conversion card. (I've not tried replacing the u-boot
material with the Pine64+ 2GB material to see if that
would still work.)
Since I built a non-debug head r355027, I had to work
around one build failure: a variable only used in a
KASSERT that stopped the build.
I used:
# more /usr/local/share/u-boot/u-boot-rock64/README
U-Boot loader and related files for the Pine64 Rock64.
To install this bootloader on an sdcard just do:
dd if=3D/usr/local/share/u-boot/u-boot-rock64/idbloader.img =
of=3D/path/to/sdcarddevice seek=3D64 bs=3D512 conv=3Dsync
dd if=3D/usr/local/share/u-boot/u-boot-rock64/u-boot.itb =
of=3D/path/to/sdcarddevice seek=3D16384 bs=3D512 conv=3Dsync
(In the cross build/install environment at the time /dev/da13
was the /path/to/sdcarddevice .)
# ls -la /usr/local/share/u-boot/u-boot-rock64/

The emmc was set up with (shown on the Rock64
after installation, not as seen on the cross
build/install environment):

I got the 32768 for fat32lba from what Arch Linux ARM has one
start with for installing Arch on a Rock64. (I've not found
FreeBSD material about that choice, implicitly leaving it to
the u-boot.itb size and seek position for what to avoid in
this case.)
(Things are set up to allow less total swap space for smaller
memory machines by just not adding the other swap space.)
The media is an updated variant of my old Pine64+ 2GB setup, which
explains some naming that I've left alone. Historically I could
boot either the Pine64+ 2GB or the RPi3 with that media. (No
u-boot conflicts or such. I've not dealt with the RPI3 material
yet.)

Both of the *.efi files are copies of:
# ls -ld /boot/loader.efi=20
-r-xr-xr-x 2 root wheel 679256 Nov 23 00:45 /boot/loader.efi
(The cross-build/install environment had an odd, 8 hour earlier
time for a while for some reason.)
Before there was just the bootaa64.efi but I decided to also
have a copy under the FreeBSD name.
(The source file was /mnt/boot/loader.efi during the cross-install
activity. I had mounted the msdosfs file sytsem to /media there as
well, making for /media/EFI/BOOT/ for the target directory the copy.)
Other that some of the above detail, the install was essentially
normal for my context.
For reference:
