I see that there is a driver available for rpi boards authored by PHK ... https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/tree/sys/arm/broadcom/bcm2835/bcm2835_pwm.c That has notes on RPi2/3 boards, but not mention of RPi4. When I load that, I see the following output ... Jun 9 18:29:50 generic kernel: pwm0: <BCM2708/2835 PWM controller> mem 0x7e20c000-0x7e20c027 on simplebus0 Jun 9 18:29:50 generic kernel: pwm0: cannot find Clock Manager I assume I'm doing something wrong. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, -Matthew
