Re: kernel modules for rockchip video for pinebook pro and rockpro64

In the while I've been able to upgrade FreeBSD 13.0 of the Khadas Edge to
14.2 using the command :

# freebsd-update upgrade -r 14.2

# freebsd-version -kru
14.2-RELEASE-p1
14.2-RELEASE-p1
14.2-RELEASE-p5

Apparently I don't see problems. My HDMI screen does not tremble. Next
steps :

a) install the panfrost driver and see it the monitor tremble.

b) see if a smaller 4 inches screen is working great with and without the
pan frost driver.

c) upgrade 14.2 to 15.0-CURRENT (not sure if I can do it using the
freebsd-update script)

d)  If I can upgrade it,try to install the JSM code (I mean the modified
version of Emmanuel Vadot's work to be buildable as kmods)

A lot of work...
