Tips:
- System Clocks
 % sysctl -a |grep freq

 Install pkgsrc/sysutils/estd from pkgsrc and start it on bootup
 for automatic up-/downscaling.

pinebook:
 machdep.cpufreq.cpu0.available = 1152 1104 1008 816 648 408
 # sysctl -w machdep.cpufreq.cpu0.target=1152

pinebook-pro:
 machdep.cpufreq.cpu0.available = 1416 1200 1008 816 600 408
 machdep.cpufreq.cpu4.available = 2000 1800 1608 1416 1200 1008 816 600 408
 # sysctl -w machdep.cpufreq.cpu0.target=1416
 # sysctl -w machdep.cpufreq.cpu4.target=2000

- Battery Status

Version:
 NetBSD 11.99.4 (GENERIC64) #0: Tue Dec  2 18:07:15 UTC 2025
mkrepro%mkrepro.NetBSD.org@localhost:/usr/src/sys/arch/evbarm/compile/GENERIC64

dmesg:
 https://github.com/ebijun/NetBSD/blob/master/dmesg/aarch64/pinebook
 https://github.com/ebijun/NetBSD/blob/master/dmesg/aarch64/pinebook-pro

System image: dd to eMMC.
 http://www.invisible.ca/arm/

 pinebook-pro:
 1. Insert microSD, boot (Linux from eMMC comes up),
 2. hit "Restart",
 3. It will boot from microSD.
 4. dd'ing to eMMC for installation, the eMMC is faster
- eMMC can disable with switch inside,and boot MicroSD.
