No, that is perfectly fine, just that we have more or less GENERIC images, which arn't announced as such. There are more confusing things I've noticed. The PINE64-LTS uses u-boot-sopine, although the u-boot repository has a config specificly for the PINE64-LTS. There is a u-boot for OrangePI Plus 2e, but none for the OrangePI Plus 2. Also the u-bbot git misses a config for the OrangePI Plus 2, but I assume those boards are identical for the OS as the difference only seem to be that the Plus 2 has an USB hub and a USB-SATA bridge. The WiFi chip on the 2 is a smaller package, but both are Realtek RTL8189. The amount of available Allwinner based boards on the market is irritating all by itself... > All arm64 board that are supported by FreeBSD uses GENERIC > kernel and have dtb for every boards supported (more or less). > > > but there isn't a GENERICSD as it is for 32bit arm. > > Yes, I will create one at some point, the reason I didn't do it is > that someone found out recently that Allwinner 64bits SoC can use GPT > partitions so I will need to do test with this.
