What you are seeing on the freebsd console is the devices that the
software running on the cubieboard provides.  Even fresh out of the
box, it is running something (presumably some linux or android distro
that gets put into the nand flash at the factory).

This has nothing to do with freebsd.  You'd see the same thing if you
plugged it into a windows system.
