One thing I noticed is that the fan doesn't run in FreeBSD so I decided to try and write a little driver for it. First step seems to be to load the corresponding devicetree overlay by adding something like this to /boot/msdos/config.txt: >>> >>> dtoverlay=rpi-poe-plus >>> dtparam=poe_fan_temp0=45000,dtparam=poe_fan_temp0_hyst=3000 >>> dtparam=poe_fan_temp1=50000,dtparam=poe_fan_temp1_hyst=3000 >>> dtparam=poe_fan_temp2=62000,dtparam=poe_fan_temp2_hyst=4000 >>> dtparam=poe_fan_temp3=70000,dtparam=poe_fan_temp3_hyst=5000 >>> >>> Unfortunately this is where I'm stuck - the overlay is not present in the final DTB given to the kernel so there isn't anything to hook a driver to.

Be warned that the sys-utils/rpi-firmware port installs a couple of files that are not based on https://github.com/raspberrypi/ materials: # ls -Tld /boot/efi/armstub8* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 5888 Apr 20 19:25:22 2022 /boot/efi/armstub8-gic.bin -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 5888 Apr 20 19:25:22 2022 /boot/efi/armstub8.bin Be sure to keep those 2 files in place (for at least armstub8-gic.bin ). A similar point goes for your config.txt . === Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com
