| In order to have the hardware PWM activated on the Raspberry Pi, you'll have to edit the /boot/config.txt file and add an overlay. | ||

| Main Raspberry Pi kernel documentation gives 2 possibilities. Either a [single channel](), either a [dual channel](https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/blob/04c8e47067d4873c584395e5cb260b4f170a99ea/arch/arm/boot/dts/overlays/README#L944). |

This should no longer be necessary. After the latest kernel updates, the lines below are by default part of 99-com.rules. I had asked for this some time ago, and meanwhile it was actually done! See RPi-Distro/raspberrypi-sys-mods@eef0792

It's not because it's in the latest version that it should not be present in this documentation. You may not always use last version. This is something to check in all the cases.

True, but maybe explicitly mention that updating the Pi should fix this as well?

Fair! Will adjust. Thanks as always for the great insights.
