Interesting - I thought SPI was as old as the hills, but I see Intel has an
"enhanced" SPI now.

The keyboard and touchpad are connected over SPI now, so they 
require a new Intel SPI controller driver and then two custom 
drivers for the keyboard and touchpad.

So no, the device does not work on OpenBSD unless you use a USB 
keyboard/mouse.

I'm running a snapshot of OpenBSD on an 8th gen Intel laptop (not a
mac) without issue. I would suggest using dmesg to examine your
hardware requirements and read over the FAQ, especially the networking
section.

OpenBSD on Macbook 12" 2017?

2019-03-15 Thread Harald Dunkel

Hi folks,

does it work, OpenBSD on a 12" Macbook 2017? I tried Linux once,
but keyboard and trackpad were not working, so I kept MacOS.

Looking on Google I found just Macbook Airs and Pros. Hopefully
I wasn't too blind to see.


Every helpful comment is highly appreciated
