The Arduino Uno (http://arduino.cc/) is an open source hardware micro-
controller designed primarily for prototyping and experimentation.
Although the devel/arduino port already exists for programming the device,
it will not work properly with the newest Arduino hardware. Previous
versions of the Arduino used an FTDI USB to Serial interface. The newest
Arduino (beginning with the Uno) uses an on-board ATMel 8U2 controller
to emulate a USB to Serial interface with its own custom Vendor ID and
Hardware ID. As a result, NONE of the existing FreeBSD USB to serial
drivers can work with it. This kernel driver supplies the necessary
kernel support for the Arduino Uno on FreeBSD.
Additionally, some 'ACM' USB Serial devices may work with this driver by
manually adding their Vendor ID and Product ID combination to files/ids.txt

The Arduino Uno uses a specific vendor ID of 0x2341 and product ID of 0x0001
If you modify your Arduino Uno to use a DIFFERENT vendor ID or product ID, you
can add your vendor/product combination to the files/ids.txt text file
according to the example shown. Additionally, this driver MAY work with
generic ACM USB Serial Devices. You would need to manually add the
vendor ID and product ID for these devices as well. For ACM devices that
are modems, consider using or modifyig the 'umodem' driver.
You will need to load the uarduno kernel module before connecting the Arduino UNO
via USB to your computer. The command to manually load the driver is:
kldload uarduno.ko
To automatically load the driver on startup, add the following line to
your /boot/loader.conf file:
uarduno_load="YES"
Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.
Approved by: portmgr (tcberner)
Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.

Mark some ports failing on power64. In cases where the error message
was a stub, provide a real one.
While here, pet portlint.

Reported by: swills
SSP support has been added to ports with WITH_SSP for i386 and amd64
on FreeBSD 10, and amd64 on earlier versions.
SSP_UNSAFE is added to disable in a port if it fails to build, but
this should only be used in rare circumstances such as kernel modules.
Otherwise, the port may just be failing due to lack of respecting
LDFLAGS.
On FreeBSD 10, this uses an ldscript in /usr/lib/libc.so to pull in
libssp_nonshared.a to address issues linking on i386 [1].
On earlier FreeBSD versions the WITH_SSP knob will add -lssp_nonshared
to LDFLAGS on i386. This is not needed on amd64. However, several hundred
ports do not currently respect LDFLAGS, so this support is disabled currently
as it causes build failures if a dependency is looking for the stack_chk

- Don't redefine LOCALBASE, use PREFIX to install to, this also fixes
installation with pkgng. The port would otherwise try to install pkg
again
===> uarduno-1.02 depends on file: /boot/kernel/sbin/pkg - not found
- Don't leave any leftovers in KMODDIR
Approved by: maintainer
Feature safe: yes
- re-order, include bsd.port.pre.mk so SRC_BASE is defined before referenced
