Specifically, one of two I have has the EMMC overwritten to avoid needing to "manually" boot FreeBSD, and the UART does not work correctly (because I am dangerous with solder), and nothing outputted on the HDMI console. The other system has working EMMC, seemingly broken HDMI output, but working UART that only displayed repeated 'C' when booting. So, I wasn't entirely sure if it was "just me" or not. Could you please open a PR about this, assigned to freebsd-arm@ and with re@ in CC? Glen -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

It did not boot Linux either so I had presumed hardware failure. I will get the Beta1 and try; I have another that boots currently Arch Linux so will try both.> > So, I wasn't entirely sure if it was "just me" or not. > > Could you please open a PR about this, assigned to freebsd-arm@ and > with re@ in CC? > > Glen >-- Best Regards.
