Pointlessly. >=20 > -- Ian >=20 >=20 Ian and Kyle, I am very sorry that I was misunderstood.=20 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=E2=80=9C no. 1 :-), have told that 100 times in = fbsd-forums etc from the 1st day on =E2=80=A6 but I am willing to work on it because it = is so much=20 requested=E2=80=A6=20 I am currently working on another gadget, will post that in the Wiki the = next days=E2=80=A6 very good results but when it comes to brcm hw =E2=80=A6.. ;-) =E2=80=A6 But I don=E2=80=99t want that fbsd is so much behind e.g. netbsd in = supporting gadgets=E2=80=A6 Netbsd has meanwhile reached the Ethernet-support for = RPI4(ACPI-based)=E2=80=A6 Wifi is supported there since months=E2=80=A6 and it shouldn=E2=80=99t = be so impossible to e.g. adopt=20 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=20 When we fail in supporting devices while others do=E2=80=A6 and for = netbsd afaik that are=20 even fewer people working on it than fbsd ( just my few cents) . So: Freedom to everyone working on what he wants=E2=80=A6 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=20= Klaus =20
