Looking in: http://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:13:aarch64/latest/All/
shows:

u-boot-rpi3-2019.10.txz	203564	2020-Jan-03 18:32

So using "latest" need not mean recent, unfortunately.

RPi4 fairs no better:

u-boot-rpi4-2019.10.txz	181908	2020-Jan-01 00:47

So, unless the snapshot process built these from more recent
source, the snapshot would not have Kyle's changes and the
old problems would exist.

Hopefully, at some point,

http://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:13:aarch64/latest/All/

will get updates to these. May be the recent change to
2020.04 from 2019.10 might cause such an update to latest?

After expanding the .img on media, you could replace any old-vintage
of u-boot-rpi3 materials with newer ones that you had built from
source and installed in /usr/local/share/u-boot/u-boot-rpi3/ .

While my context is from source based builds, not snapshots, the
RPi3 is running:

# uname -apKU
FreeBSD Pine64P2G 13.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 13.0-CURRENT #2 r360311M: Sat Apr =
25 10:39:37 PDT 2020     =
markmi@FBSDFHUGE:/usr/obj/cortexA53_clang/arm64.aarch64/usr/src/arm64.aarc=
h64/sys/GENERIC-NODBG  arm64 aarch64 1300092 1300092

(The media can also boot the Pine64+ 2GB --but is in the RPi3
currently.)



I do warn that there is for arm64/aarch64 :

https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-bugs/2020-April/093970.html

but no bisect has determined the failure start. (Failure is not
immediate: bisect would be every slow.)
