no, ancient stuff from March where we didn’t have a ROCKPRO64 snapshot,
`will remove/renew that from Wiki later..

probably expected(I didn’t test the latest snap yet ...too many other things)
should be generally  fixed in u-boot 2020.07(could be patched in sysutils/u-bootxxx, but I don`t know the details at the moment)
If you don’t have an UART-adapter but another SOC available, you can try to connect 
Soc to Soc.. but normally you should order such an adapter … 
very rare with these boards that everything works out of the box forever :-)
But RockPro64 works since many months with FreeBSD, so don’t worry..
