[Raspberry Pi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raspberry_Pi) is a very popular ARM board.

It has a modern graphical driver, [VC4](https://github.com/torvalds/linux/tree/master/drivers/gpu/drm/vc4).

NetBSD already supports several DRM drivers (from Linux 4.4), living in [sys/external/bsd/drm2](https://github.com/NetBSD/src/tree/trunk/sys/external/bsd/drm2). Adapting this one will make Raspberry Pi work better out of the box.

While this project requires hardware, we can help with supplying a Raspberry Pi if needed.

Milestones for this project:

* VC4 driver builds as part of netbsd source tree (no hardware access needed)
* Adjust device tree configuration so VC4 driver is used
* Iron out bugs that appear from running it
