An explanation, for anyone else curious: I actually explicitly patch out the board manager because it won't necessarily function the way you would expect it to on other platforms since it downloads not only the core but platform-specific tools, and FreeBSD isn't officially supported upstream. Brad indicated to me off-list that he's wishing to use an ESP8266/NodeMCU board- this is a WIP at the moment now that I have a unit to test with. Obstacles in the form of binutils strangeness and life have gotten in the way since I received the unit, but work is resuming on this and I hope to have an esp8266 toolchain worked out fairly soon.
