Hi Janne, Super! Here is something for the OpenBSD community then that may spark discussion. I have a RISCV64 Mango Pi that Mark had ported to OpenBSD. My problem with this particular hardware is that all my raspberry usb devices for ethernet (I don't use wifi anymore due to rogue radio in my neighbourhood, last noticed a few months ago) are flaky. I have a ure(4) device that is a microusb raspberry pi device and I had used an adapter from micro-usb to usb-c which is what the mangopi uses. It has a short circuit somewhere or something either way it's a PITA to use and get going... long story short, I was thinking around ways to make a usb-c to usb-a cable work. This opens a can of worms though. FreeBSD has cdce(4) support for usb devices, with the template support written into it by Hans Petter Selasky (in 2008). In my opinion there needs to be something of the sorts, but I'm unsure whether that code is the right way. Either way cdce(4) does not have a usb device mode which would be nice. I was going to use the mangopi dedicated for testing OpenBSD -current kernels and userland stuff, right now everything is standardized (to the best of my chaotic ability) around 7.5 with patches. But having some form of networking is a pre- requisite. So it is on the backburner until I have that. Though I'll let you know how the time change with it works. I'll set it shortly to 2039 same day same month for a few minutes in the upcoming week. Right now it has a 7.5-current kernel on it still. Thanks for feedback, and sorry to be growing someones TODO. Or even hinting on that. I'm personally also bogged down until at least August on personal projects. What comes after that I don't know. -pjp -- - I remember when google, youtube, facebook, etc were open access
