It is the 2012-09-09[2] revision, according to the text on the board itself. Naturally, I want to run FreeBSD on it (well, it is natural for me). - is there a how-to or a writeup somewhere on getting FreeBSD running on the Cubieboard? (everything from install on what? usb stick, microSD, sata hard drive - to which bootloader? - to do you need a serial connection?) - are there ready-made FreeBSD images available somewhere? I tried googling, but didn't get much References: 1) http://cubieboard.org/ 2) http://linux-sunxi.org/Cubieboard -- Torfinn Ingolfsen
