Rupert, You would not have to complain if you hadn't spammed your puny pretences. The boards and processors have issues to be known, accompanying warnings. The dmesg you posted does not help anything. It looks like a poorly done commercial for other operating systems that "supposedly" work. Only, you have not been running anything past boot up. Accept it, you are a troll. Looks like you point out there are "drivers to be written", for your use. I call this helpless whining. I told you how you can help this process.. Get the boards in the hands of developers with OpenBSD who write drivers. And first kindly ask about it whether it is possible to fit in busy work.
