The 'fby35' machine was originally added as an example of a multi-SoC system, with the expectation the models would evolve over time in an heterogeneous system. This hasn't happened and no public firmware is available to boot it. It can be replaced by the 'ast2700fc', another multi-SoC machine based on the newer AST2700 SoCs which are excepted to receive better support in the future.
