Greetings, I’m running FreeBSD 13.1-RELEASE on a raspberry pi 4b rev 1.4. The pi 4 has 4 UART ports available but as far as I can tell, FreeBSD 13.1 only supports 1 of them. I would like to use one of the other UART ports to wire an adafruit GPS breakout too. I tried using the UART0 port but when I wire the GPS breakout to it, I run into boot issues with u-boot and console logging. I know that in other OS’s such as raspian or ubuntu, you are able to enable the additional UARTS in config.txt. Thinking that FreeBSD might support this I tried adding “dtoverlay=uartx” where x is 0 to 3 but I’m not seeing in any kernel logging that these ports were enabled and I don’t see any additional ttyu’s in the dev tree. So my question, does FreeBSD support these additional UARTS and if so, how do I enable them so that I may use one for the GPS breakout? Thanks John
