Just a quick followup on this.
I picked up a BeagleBone Green today, and gjb@'s 10.2 image from
20150801 booted just as it does on the BBBlack. Didn't yet attempt to
copy from the microSD to eMMC yet.
Serial connections work fine with the FTDI j1/j4/j5 connections as with
the BBBlack.
I posted the dmesg on NYC*BUG's dmesgd:

I haven't followed the status of pkg on arm recently, but pkg doesn't
seem operational with the binary install:
root at beaglebone:~ # pkg
The package management tool is not yet installed on your system.
Do you want to fetch and install it now? [y/N]: y
Bootstrapping pkg from
pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/FreeBSD:10:armv6/quarterly, please wait...
pkg: Error fetching
http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/FreeBSD:10:armv6/quarterly/Latest/pkg.txz: Not Found
A pre-built version of pkg could not be found for your system.
Consider changing PACKAGESITE or installing it from ports: 'ports-mgmt/pkg'.
I am now in the process of populating /usr/ports with svnlite, but it's
still painfully slow.
I don't have any of the four-pin grooves to test yet, but I'll probably
start checking those out after I get back into building crochet images.
It may be time to update the Wiki and other documentation with (at
least) mention of the BBGreen.
