Hi there, Ian, thanks for all your great updates on the arm iMX6 pages. I went out and picked up a hummingboard and I'm trying to put this all together. I was able to find and flash the u-boot image for the cubox-hummingboard. Ian, thank you again for your efforts there. However, there are two things that are not clear to me from the iMX6 page: 1) where does the u-boot environment variable file go? 2) where do I put ubldr on the SD? I am thinking within the first 1 MB? 2b) I noticed in a Linux image the boot loader had an SDL file and a u-boot.imx file. Your instruction on the iMx6 page verified that is the process. However, the files installed from the pkgng system is only a u-boot.imx file. Am I missing anopther piece? Finally, I will go back and get my head in crochet again soon, but I was wondering if it's possible for me to just use the current snapshot release from the website? ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/arm/armv6/ISO-IMAGES/11.0/FreeBSD-11.0-CURRENT-arm-armv6-CUBOX-HUMMINGBOARD-20150722-r285794.img.xz I opened it up and it seemed to be a fat filesystem and a ufs filesystem (I didn't go any further than this. Is this ubldr and rootfs with kernel in /sys/?). I'm hoping I can just do this: sudo pkg install u-boot-cubox-hummingboard cd /usr/local/share/u-boot/u-boot-cubox-hummingboard dd if=u-boot.imx of=/dev/da2 bs=1k oseek=1 conv=sync cd /usr/snapshot/current wget ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/arm/armv6/ISO-IMAGES/11.0/FreeBSD-11.0-CURRENT-arm-armv6-CUBOX-HUMMINGBOARD-20150722-r285794.img.xz dd if=FreeBSD-11.0-CURRENT-arm-armv6-CUBOX-HUMMINGBOARD-20150722-r285794.img.xz of=/dev/da2 bs=1k seek=1024 boot! Thanks Russ p.s. I bought the freeBSD driver book. I am trying to obsorb it as fast as I can. Is there a particular driver that I could/should dig in on from the list on the iMX6 page? Is there something I can help debug or document?
