Warner, > In lieu of the availability of an image file for one of the more = recent Cubie products I am planning to give it a try on a cubieboard2. You're unlikely to have a good day doing that. JKi: Please elaborate. The names = "FreeBSD-11.0-RELEASE-arm-armv6-CUBIEBOARD.img.xz" and = "FreeBSD-11.0-RELEASE-arm-armv6-CUBIEBOARD2.img.xz" do suggest that = these particular images are specifically aimed at cubieboard 1 and 2 = hardware or am I overlooking something? > Does anybody on this list happen to know if future FreeBSD releases = are planned to include images for more recent Cubie hardware? Which specific hardware? In the embedded space, there's no = standardization, so even minor variants can need their own u-boot. We = may have a u-boot ready for that... JKi: At this point either the cubieboard 3 or 4 seem to suite my = requirements best, but given that the image naming convention does seem = to suggest that there is no image available for either yet, I thought = I'd give it a try using the cubieboard2 first. Regards, Jk.
