Hi, Glen.

I have been supporting Zedboard in crochet.  Crochet builds u-boot for the Zedboard by lightly patching u-boot source from Xilinx (https://github.com/Xilinx/u-boot-xlnx).  I have one more patch to send Tim so that crochet always builds u-boot from release v2014.4 because the latest release (v2015.1) broke some things which will require other tweaks to crochet.

But, I wonder if there is sufficient interest in FreeBSD on the Zedboard to warrant you going to the trouble to build snap-shots.
