Thank you for your guides. I did not use FreeBSD when I tested it , I removed the media (SD card, disk drive, etc) containing the OS. but I cannot boot to shell and just see this message ">>>>Start boot option, Press <F2> or <DEL> to enter setup page(5 Sec)....." Now I should SPI programmer or is other solution?
