https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D256836 Bug ID: 256836 Summary: Enable powerd by default on Raspbery Pi images Product: Base System Version: 13.0-RELEASE Hardware: arm64 OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: conf Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: freebsd@darkain.com During a normal installer process, the installer asks if a number of servic= es should be enabled by default. On the Raspberry Pi pre-built image, this is a pre-installed system where these configuration options are never presented. By default, the Raspberry Pi 4 is locked to only 600 MHz unless powerd is running. There is currently no obvious way to know that the performance of this boar= d is being limited without digging into sysctl. This could lead users to assume = that "FreeBSD is unoptimized and slow" compared to other OSes. Right now, the only note I'm aware of about this particular issue is at the very bottom of a Wiki page. This isn't a good end-user experience to have to hunt down this information, especially if they don't even know what to look= for to begin with. https://wiki.freebsd.org/arm/Raspberry%20Pi#RPI4 Because of these, I believe that powerd should be enabled by default in the Raspberry Pi specific images that are generated. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
