No. We're going to add them in our release image. That's what I meant by "working with Glen and Brad". Glen as release engineer built all those scripts that prepare SoC images. He works closely with FreeBSD/ARM community and although I can't speak for him I hope he won't object to the change that introduces new feature and doesn't violate POLA. We already install two overlays that are required to get reasonable boot-time defaults. PI3 release image config is here: http://svn.freebsd.org/base/head/release/arm64/RPI3.conf Adding pwm.dtbo is one-line change. Adding line to config.txt is one more line. RaspBSD is volunteer project by Brad Davis so it's completely up to him whether to enable PWM by default or not. He knows his userbase best. All one can do is to make a case and present it to Brad. -- gonzo _______________________________________________ svn-src-head@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-head To unsubscribe, send any mail to "svn-src-head-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
