Spare cycles are rare, but it is = progressing. As I understand things, FreeBSD does not have examples of FreeBSD specific Device Tree sources and is not currently set up to support such of itself. The general expectation is to have the kernel updated to track the imported mainline Linux device trees. There is the example of using device trees from a different Linux for the RPi*'s (unmodified binary *.dtb files). That is handled via involving a port: sysutils/rpi-firmware . But the RPi*'s tend to work differently for what needs to be done as well. If you are planning on FreeBSD specific source files for some device trees, you might want to ask about how that should fit into FreeBSD and you might have to provide the changes to allow such unless involving a new port can cover the issue. > Ranting about lack of support is not likely to improve the situation. = Putting your valuable personal time on the line just might. It looked to me to be just a note that NetBSD is an alternative that folks can use. =3D=3D=3D Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com
