Greetings,

I=E2=80=99m 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,=20
I run into boot issues with u-boot and console logging.  I know that in =
other OS=E2=80=99s 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 =
=E2=80=9Cdtoverlay=3Duartx=E2=80=9D where x is 0 to 3 but I=E2=80=99m =
not seeing in any kernel logging that these ports were enabled and
I don=E2=80=99t see any additional ttyu=E2=80=99s 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=
