Any idea on how to update a tier 2 device?

So, the actual problem here is there are now tarballs for 12.0-RELEASE (or any release for that matter) in the arm architecture folder, where this is the case for amd64, arm64, i386 etc. I'm not sure what FreeBSD's policy is for arm, but if you manage to find the tarballs, you can use the -U parameter to point to the URL where to download these.

Thanks, that’s basically the conclusion I came to. As an afterthought here. I wonder if anyone hosts arm tarballs anywhere. If anyone knows or does send me a link. I could always cross compile and host it locally on my poudiere pkg build server, but I’d rather not go to all that trouble if someone already has.
