This is my setup:

https://wiki.freebsd.org/Digi-CCWMX53

I boot from the network because we don't support the MTD flash layout yet.  We can put a kernel in flash, but the kernel won't be able to read the MTD partition layout and we can't boot rootfs from there.  You can use a USB stick.

If you want to build U-Boot from source on FreeBSD, here's my fork: https://github.com/rpaulo/uboot-ccwmx53-digi

You always need it when building on x86.

Like Warner said, you need armv6.
