Hi List, Is there a known method to get the fan running on the rpi-poe+ board under FreeBSD? It looks like it is controlled completely by the kernel in Linux land. Adding the rpi-poe dtb overlay has no effect on FreeBSD so I'm guessing there is no driver for it. From what I've read, its controlled by something on the iic bus used for HAT identification. Beyond that, information seems to get very scarce. The Linux driver operates it by sending messages to the firmware. This would be a lot more tricky than just sending commands to an iic device from userland and beyond my hacking skills. CPU temperature currently is: dev.cpu.0.temperature: 86.6C so I would quite happy if I could just turn it on. Running FreeBSD 13 Stable with a snapshot from 16 December 2021. System is loosely based on nanobsd. Cheers, Brian
