As far as I understand the Pro is just a bit more beefy and has a
disk, but it's the same hardware otherwise.  Of course problems with
the SD card make it impossible to use it, but I guess you can use USB
instead.

It should probably work with enet(4) or an usb ethernet gizmo, though
I haven't tried.  wm(4) has configuration issues and panics quickly.

Sorry, no, you have to build the distrubution yourself (but with the
NetBSD build system it's trivial to do on a NetBSD, Linux or OS X
host).  The target machine is evbearmv7hf-el.

But brace yourself for a rough ride.  imx6 is not fdt'ized and there
are other issues, so it's nowhere near being stable.  I just hacked
the iomux setting to get to the RTC, which was good enough for me for
now, but is obviously not committable.

If you want to play with it, the patches are attached.  Caveat emptor.
