Warner,

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.
