If you have the expansion board we advice you to switch to [Microchip PolarFire SoC Yocto BSP](https://github.com/polarfire-soc/meta-polarfire-soc-yocto-bsp/) which includes support for MPFS-DEV-KIT (HiFive Unleashed Expansion Board) directly from the manufacturer. You are also welcome to use older releases (2021.02.00 or older) from SiFive OpenEmbedded layer.

Contact your SiFive representative before using disk images built for `unmatched` machine on your particular board. If you received the final board (16GB) via Mouser or CrowdSupply you should skip 2021.02.00 release.
