I ported the abtn driver (sys/dev/adb/adb_buttons.c) from NetBSD. That might be of some help to you. It's a trivial driver, so doesn't contain everything needed, but should be a useful start. - Justin On Wed, Mar 14, 2018 at 10:08 AM, Evan Sabin <memereferencehere@gmail.com> wrote: > I suppose I’ll just play around until I get things to work.

As such, I did some searching and discovered the most feature-complete drivers for these hardware components could be found in the OpenBSD source code. (https://github.com/openbsd/src/blob/master/sys/arch/macppc/dev/xlights.c <https://github.com/openbsd/src/blob/master/sys/arch/macppc/dev/xlights.c>) (https://github.com/openbsd/src/blob/master/sys/arch/macppc/dev/sysbutton.c <https://github.com/openbsd/src/blob/master/sys/arch/macppc/dev/sysbutton.c>) I suppose my question is — How do I get from point A to point B, and how do I begin to port these drivers from OpenBSD to FreeBSD? What are the core differences in driver development on these two systems, particularity in regards to the PPC64 architecture? >>> _______________________________________________ >>> freebsd-ppc@freebsd.org mailing list >>> https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ppc >>> To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ppc-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >>> >> >> _______________________________________________ >> freebsd-ppc@freebsd.org mailing list >> https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ppc >> To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ppc-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-ppc@freebsd.org mailing list > https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ppc > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ppc-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"home | help
