[2019/04/02] below information merged into FreeBSD wiki arm imx6 page

• 
  
• FreeBSD-10.3-RELEASE OK
•  but can't use upper USB port. I think this issue related dts file. default dts set upper port as OTG port.
• SEE http://forum.solid-run.com/hummingboard-hardware-lab-f18/linux-usb-otg-on-hummingboard-i1-t2352.html
• after reboot, always push reset button(even power off) same as Linux.

• FreeBSD-12.0-CURRENT-arm-armv6-CUBOX-HUMMINGBOARD-20160829-r305028.img
• [SOLVED] boot but very slow
• If I replace /boot/dtb files from 10.3-RELEASE, it' fine. maybe time clock device was broken.
• This slow issue was solved with r310012, thank you, Oleksandr Tymoshenko.[2016/12/15]

• steps to mixed image[2017/8/4]

1. download images

11.RELEASE image for HUMMINGBOARD(because use for U-Boot)
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/arm/armv6/ISO-IMAGES/11.0/FreeBSD-11.0-RELEASE-arm-armv6-CUBOX-HUMMINGBOARD.img.xz

latest 12-current image for HUMMINGBOARD
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/arm/armv6/ISO-IMAGES/12.0/FreeBSD-12.0-CURRENT-arm-armv6-CUBOX-HUMMINGBOARD-20170717-r321072.img.xz

2. decompress image file.

# xz -d FreeBSD-11.0-RELEASE-arm-armv6-CUBOX-HUMMINGBOARD.img.xz
# xz -d FreeBSD-12.0-CURRENT-arm-armv6-CUBOX-HUMMINGBOARD-20170717-r321072.img.xz

3. copy 12-current image to new.img

# cp FreeBSD-12.0-CURRENT-arm-armv6-CUBOX-HUMMINGBOARD-20170717-r321072.img new.img

(Currently I did not calculate image size, so I copy 12.0-CURRENT image to new image)

4. mdconfig those image files

# mdconfig FreeBSD-12.0-CURRENT-arm-armv6-CUBOX-HUMMINGBOARD-20170717-r321072.img
md0
# mdconfig FreeBSD-11.0-RELEASE-arm-armv6-CUBOX-HUMMINGBOARD.img
md1
# mdconfig new.img
md2

4. copy 11.0-RELEASE image to new.img(copy u-boot files)

# dd if=/dev/md1 of=/dev/md2 bs=10240 conv=sync

(If I know the partition size of u-boot, maybe I only copy u-boot part)

5. expand md2s2a partition with fdisk and bsdlabel

# fdisk /dev/md2

    start 118784, size 3026944 (1478 Meg), flag

# bsdlabel -e /dev/md2s2

(sorry, I forgot to memorize detailed steps, if you want to know, please ask me)

6. dump 12-CURRENT '/' partition as /tmp/hummingboard-20170717.dump

# dump -0uaLC 32 -f /tmp/hummingboard-20170717.dump /dev/md0

7.  newfs md2s2a partition and mount to '/mnt'

# newfs /dev/md2s2a
# mount /dev/md2s2a /mnt

8 restore 12-CURRENT dump image

# cd /mnt
# restore -rf /tmp/hummingboard-20170717.dump

9. unmount md

# mdconfig -d -u 0
# mdconfig -d -u 1
# mdconfig -d -u 2

10. write new image to microSD Card(if you connect microSD as da0)

# dd if=new.img of=/dev/da0 bs=10240 conv=sync
