My absolute respect to you, I always follow your work on drivers etc. on phab , I am not blind and can see, that you have much much work on other things(like me).. I am the" RPI-hater“ no. 1 :-), have told that 100 times in fbsd-forums etc from the 1st day on … but I am willing to work on it because it is so much requested… I am currently working on another gadget, will post that in the Wiki the next days… very good results but when it comes to brcm hw ….. ;-) … But I don’t want that fbsd is so much behind e.g. netbsd in supporting gadgets… Netbsd has meanwhile reached the Ethernet-support for RPI4(ACPI-based)… Wifi is supported there since months… and it shouldn’t be so impossible to e.g. adopt Those solutions to fbsd. ( of course only when people want to work on it, ).. but Ed Maste stated a clear aarch64->Tier1-roadmap and it looks funny When we fail in supporting devices while others do… and for netbsd afaik that are even fewer people working on it than fbsd ( just my few cents) . So: Freedom to everyone working on what he wants… But it is simply wrong to say that it is nit possible to support the RPI4 on BSD`s. Regards and sorry again for the misunderstanding of what I wanted to say Klaushelp
