Hummingboard u-boot not loading?

[Russell Haley]

Hi Vladimir,

I haven't figured out how to use the snapshot image properly. I am
hoping it's as simple as a dd but I haven't found any instruction on
it yet. The snapshot page indicates it has multiple ISOs in it?

I'm at work so it's not in front of me, but perhaps my issue is that I
have a dual core pro SOM. U-boot requires a processor specific portion
(as per Ian on wiki) and I don't remember being given a choice about
which variant goes into the u-boot.imx file from pkgng.

I think the ports build is failing for me for the same reason it
always has, I'm using a 10.1 jail and building the current source on
there.
