Hello,

thank you for pointing out the u-boot version.

u-boot-wandboard-2024.07 does not work with FreeBSD-Release-13.5 (reboot without message), u-boot 2019.07 runs with error messages (too old). u-boot-wandboard-2023.10 runs without errors. I checked out ports tree 12-eol and built u-boot-2023.10 because I couldn't find any old u-boot packages for FreeBSD on the net. Are there any repositories with old u-boot packages on the net?

Regards

Ulrich
