I feel as though it would be nice to have a more complete set of drivers = on my Xserve G5 running the latest FreeBSD =E2=80=94 particularly, and = really only, to support the processor indicator lights and the system = identifier button and its corresponding rear light. 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 =E2=80=94 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?=
