Odroid C2 unable to boot

I tried loading the following image onto the SD card of my brand new Odroid
C2:

  FreeBSD-11.0-CURRENT-arm64-aarch64-20160308-r296485-memstick.img

This is an ARMv8 board: more details at:

It failed to boot; the blue light that indicates boot activity never came
on. I was able to boot the Ubuntu 16.04 image that is provided at
hardkernel.com, so I'm confident it's not a problem with the Odroid itself
or the SD card.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a serial UART to USB adapter that
will let me connect the device to my main FreeBSD machine so I can debug
the issue further? The manufacturer recommends their own kit, which looks
like it's Windows-only:
