Beginning next week, there will be snapshot images ready to download and burn to sdcard. To build your own image, I was going to say to just use the crochet tool mentioned on the imx6 wiki page, and use the Wandboard config but substitute the name of the proper u-boot package. But it looks like crochet has never been updated to use the u-boot ports/packages. At least, when I look at what's on github I see old stuff in the wandboard setup.sh related to downloading and building u-boot source locally. (I also see 4 different wandboard folders, which is confusing because a single image works on all boards.) For instructions, there is some developer-oriented stuff at https://wiki.freebsd.org/FreeBSD/arm/crossbuild but it's not very user-friendly. It's more oriented towards develop-and-test cycles than image creation. -- Ian
