It is working using UEFI.  The system is a Traverse Ten64.

I just used a memstick image like

https://download.freebsd.org/snapshots/arm64/aarch64/ISO-IMAGES/15.0/FreeBSD-15.0-CURRENT-arm64-aarch64-20250206-9ef38a01aea8-275290-memstick.img.xz

but the actual one I used is from over a year ago.

After uncompressing the file, I dd’ed it to a usb stick.

After getting the serial console connected, I booted off
the usb stick and then did a “normal” install to the
internal nvme drive using GPT partitioning.

root@ten64-2# gpart show
=>       40  500118112  nda0  GPT  (238G)
         40     532480     1  efi  (260M)
     532520  490201088     2  freebsd-ufs  (234G)
  490733608    8388608     3  freebsd-swap  (4.0G)
  499122216     995936        - free -  (486M)

I don’t recall having to do anything with a .dtb file.

I have U-boot configured to boot from the efi
partition.
