FreeBSD supports up to 256 CPU cores in the default kernel configuration (on Tier-1 architectures). Systems with more than 256 cores are available now, and will become increasingly common over FreeBSD 14’s lifetime. The FreeBSD Foundation is supporting the effort to increase MAXCPU, and PR269572[

Defaulting serial communication to 115200 bps for FreeBSD 14

2023-08-15 Thread Ed Maste
FreeBSD currently uses 9600 bps as the default for serial communication -- in the boot loader, kernel serial console, /etc/ttys, and so on. This was consistent with most equipment in the 90s, when these defaults were established. Today 115200 bps seems to be much more common, and I'm proposing that
