The Great ihidev(4) Debugging

The Problem

  • I2C-connected Windows Precision Touchpads on Skylake and newer laptops don't generate interrupts through the IOAPIC when using OpenBSD - polling has to be used to fetch touchpad data

Disabling SPI write protection, reflashing, and unbricking an Asus Chromebook C201

####Disabling SPI write protection

Put the Chromebook in developer-mode:

  • With machine powered off, hold down Esc and Refresh(F3) while hitting power button
  • At warning prompt, hit Control+D, then Enter at prompt about enabling developer mode
  • Machine will format itself

Now remove the write-protect screw to enable flashrom to flash new Coreboot/Libreboot.

Flip powered-off machine over and remove 8 philips-head screws. 2 are located under rubber feet.

macOS FileVault encryption and OpenBSD encrypted softraid on a Macbook Air/Pro

Update (2019-05-06): The Broadcom wireless card in the MacBook Pro works and can be crammed into the Air.

Update (2015-12-04): This document used to be very lengthy as there were many manual steps required to get OpenBSD and Mac OS X working together through Boot Camp Assistant (BCA), which created a hybrid MBR and enabled a legacy BIOS emulation mode which older versions of Windows (and OpenBSD) required. Newer Macbooks stopped supporting older versions of Windows through BCA and now only support Windows 10 since it uses GPT and UEFI. However, now that newer versions of OpenBSD support GPT and UEFI, Boot Camp Assistant is no longer needed at all to boot OpenBSD.

macOS FileVault encryption and OpenBSD encrypted softraid on a Macbook Air/Pro

OpenBSD works pretty well on at least the Mid-2011 Macbook Air (A1370, SandyBridge) and Mid-2013 Macbook Air (Haswell). The new KMS code in 5.4 brings up the MBA's eDP display in 1366x768 with backlight
