Hi Mark, as you presumably already know, it seems there exists a first version for hdmi support: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-riscv/cover/20230801101030.2040-1-keith.z...@starfivetech.com/
Does this mean a new driver for the vf2 like rkdwhdmi would be "needed" to support hdmi in OpenBSD? Best, Robert Am 3.
