Hi,
One thing I have noticed with CURRENT on an Orange Pi PC: since we're
using device trees imported from Linux, some drivers are not accessible
out of the box.
So I wrote a couple overlays:
Thermal sensor: https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd/pull/162
SPI: https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd/pull/166
But not everyone would figure out how to make and even just use
overlays…
(if anyone is wondering: place them into /boot/dtb/overlays and add a
list of them (filenames including extension) to /boot/loader.conf like
so: fdt_overlays="sun8i-h3-sid.dtbo,sun8i-h3-ts.dtbo,sun8i-h3-spi.dtbo"
— and reboot)
Can someone commit these overlays / add more for other SoCs maybe?
P.S. I also wrote spigen support for flashrom:
https://github.com/flashrom/flashrom/pull/53
With this, I can flash and verify a Winbond W25Q32.V flash chip from my
Orange Pi! :)
