      @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.

        apu4_v4.19.0.1.zip

        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.

              @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.

                    Or maybe they fixed those dead links. Anyway, cheers!

                        Did 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.
