P1020wlan REV D DTS file?

I've been working intermittently on a p1020wlan board and getting FreeBSD up and running on it.
I have a working Linux setup, but wanted to look at FreeBSD.
The process has been fraught with problems.
1) U-Boot. The board has u-boot and despite the 'suggestive' tool titled 'ubldr', this does not seem to work, unless the u-boot has been 'enabled' with the U-boot API.
Did that but other than some number of diagnostics, the ubldr fails to present a command interface or seemingly try to 'bootp' via the network interface.
2) Using a DTS file that 'works' with Linux, there are a number of 'holes' in the DTS structure which the boot firmware seems to be expected to 'fill in the blanks'.
I've plugged many holes, an rearranged elements in the 'tree' that seem to allow for the kernel to be loaded, and get to the point of attempting to initialize the network drivers to
perform a 'bootp' NFS style root mount.
I did get some assistance in April from someone working on a similar board, but those 'hints' have not yielded a bootable setup.
It would appear that this board, and perhaps most of the P1020 (and other recent Freescale boards) do not have many people, if any, working on getting FreeBSD up on them.
The questions are…
1) is there anyone with a working P1020Wlan setup?
2) Anyone with working P1020xxx boards, and using the 'as found in sys/boot/fdt/dts' DTS files?
Any help would be appreciated,
John Clark.
