The Minnowboard is an Atom-based x86 board (Intel E38xx + Series SoC) in a maker-friendly form-factor: it provides + convenient access to pins that can be used to connect + peripherals using one of the standard buses: GPIO, SPI, or I2C. + These buses are more common in the ARM/MIPS world than in x86, + so while &os; was able to boot just fine, it lacked support for + these buses on the MinnowBoard.

+ +

As of r310645, HEAD support all three buses via + ig4(4), bytgpio(4), and intelspi + drivers. The ig4(4) and bytgpio(4) changes + were backported to 11-STABLE; intelspi will be MFCed in + couple of weeks.
