Tips:
- System Clocks
 % sysctl -a |grep freq

 Install pkgsrc/sysutils/estd from pkgsrc and start it on bootup
 for automatic up-/downscaling.

pinebook:
 machdep.cpufreq.cpu0.available = 1152 1104 1008 816 648 408
 # sysctl -w machdep.cpufreq.cpu0.target=1152

pinebook-pro:
 machdep.cpufreq.cpu0.available = 1416 1200 1008 816 600 408
 machdep.cpufreq.cpu4.available = 2000 1800 1608 1416 1200 1008 816 600 408
 # sysctl -w machdep.cpufreq.cpu0.target=1416
 # sysctl -w machdep.cpufreq.cpu4.target=2000

- Battery Status
  envstat
  xbattbar
XXX: link from dbus or mate-power-manager?

- HDMI port works on pinebook.
 Connect display to pinebook HDMI port
 # pkg_add arandr

 pkg_add mate
 echo "mate-session" >> .xinitrc
 startx

- ibus
 export XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus

- Add eDP transmitter and enable display pipeline
 http://mail-index.netbsd.org/source-changes/2019/02/03/msg103047.html
 arandr works well: display up-side down
 https://twitter.com/ebijun/status/1092885154127724544

- keymapping: [Shift][<>] on 11inch
 https://wiki.netbsd.org/ports/evbarm/allwinner/#index3h2

- replace AC Adapter for heavy load
 Anker PowerPort10 A2133+USB DC Cable with 3.5mm/1.35mm connecter
 USB-C laptop charger from HP

- USB Wifi: urtwn0/run0 works
 urtwn0: I-O DATA DEVICE, INC. (0x4bb) WN-G150UM (0x94c)
 pinebook: internal Wi-Fi not supported
 pinebook pro: internal bwfm0 works,sometimes hangs

 https://github.com/ebijun/NetBSD/blob/master/dmesg/aarch64/pinebook-pro

System image: dd to eMMC.
 http://www.invisible.ca/arm/

 pinebook-pro:
 1. Insert microSD, boot (Linux from eMMC comes up),
 2. hit "Restart",
 3. It will boot from microSD.
 4. dd'ing to eMMC for installation, the eMMC is faster
- eMMC can disable with switch inside,and boot MicroSD.
