@jasonau Could I ask what site you downloaded the Coreboot firmware from?
I tried https://pcengines.github.io/ but all the links are no longer working.
Thanks.

I am sorry I don´t know, because the links are not
working, and I don´t know if this will be for a while
or forever. I only own the "apu4_v4.19.0.1.zip" with
ROM file, Signature and Hash inside, I was loading
it up here, so if you are using APU4 (only) you may
take it. If you use it, please don`t forget to do a cold
boot with un powering the APU after the upgrade
that not the old one (BIOS) will be in usage again.You may use it on your own risk, I am using it since
the release day, without any issues, because I want to
install next month the TPM 2.0 module too, in my APU4. -

@jasonau
Also try this page https://pcengines.github.io/Note they have the update
Dear PC Engines hardware owners, -
@dobby_ Thanks, that's nice of you to upload it. Unfortunately I use an apu2e4. I was planning on installing version apu2_4.16.04, or possibly newer.
-
@jasonau Yes, all those links are dead. It sounds like they want to start charging for it.

fireodoDid you get it working? Iam using 23.05 RC and 2.7 now
and I only got informations that this will not working anymore and three "lines" for the /boot.loader.conf(.local).
But I also were never finding the led or blinkled pkg anymore in the repos too! -

No. There is no kernel module for freeBSD 14 :-(

Thanks for that information then I could save the time for searching for an workaround, I was thinking perhaps I have overlooked something or was not able to find it right.
