Hi Mat!

Nope doesn't work either for me.

Okay, step for step:
* did a dd of your rpi_inst-2013.05.05.img
* booted the RPi
* choosed full install except X11
* changed the HTTP option to match NetBSD-6.1
* even saw the "Requesting http://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-6.1/evbarm/binary/sets/kern-RPI.tgz"
and after all got "The RPI kernel was not installed, perhaps you didn't select it?"

What am I doing wrong?

-btw- when I choosed "Re-install sets or install additional sets" and installed the RPI kernel again and again,
after rebooting I still get the sysinst prompt. It didn't look like the installation has changed anything.

:-(((
Any idea?

Hi Sebastian,

ah ah... I tought I was doing something wrong for the last few days, 
but I ran into the same issue.

It seems this bug appeared after the 11th of may, as previous head 
snapshots used to work fine.

Here is the latest valid snapshot I have (2013.05.05 images):
rpi_inst.img :

sysinst RPi issue

Sebastian Wieseler — 2013-05-20T18:04:53

Dear port-arm list,
I followed the documentation http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-arm/2013/03/27/msg001838.html to setup NetBSD on a
Raspberry Pi (also looked at http://wiki.netbsd.org/ports/evbarm/raspberry_pi/).

I got the latest rpi_inst.img.gz from http://nyftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/HEAD/201305161420Z/evbarm/binary/gzimg/
Booted it and followed every instruction. Choosed then the default HTTP mirror and NetBSD-6.1 
During fetching the packages I saw the RPI-kernel as well.

But at the end of packet fetching sysinst reported the problem
"The RPI kernel was not installed, perhaps you didn't select it?"
and the installation ended.
Even after re-selecting the RPI kernel package and going through the setup again,
all I get after rebooting - the RPi is still showing the sysint prompt.

I have no idea how to procede further.

Best regards and thanks for any help
   Sebastian 'kickino' Wieseler

Call your NetBSD at BSDCan 2013

Pierre Pronchery — 2013-05-19T20:39:06

Dear port-arm< at >,

I have presented the current status of my porting effort of NetBSD to
the Nokia N900 smartphone at BSDCan a couple days ago. The slides can be
found online there:
http://people.defora.org/~khorben/papers/bsdcan2013/Call%20your%20NetBSD.pdf

Pretty picture:
https://twitter.com/khorben/status/335771466496868352/photo/1

The presentation was recorded (audio + slides) and should be available
publicly, if not already.

Short summary:
- the keypad is now usable,
- I am working on OMAP SPI support and a touchscreen driver,
- X is running (the keymap is wrong though)
- I am mainly working within the "khorben-n900" branch,
- there is a short explanation in the slides on how to get it to boot.

Do not hesitate to ask for details if necessary!

Cheers,

Kernel native build successfull on RPI now

Mathieu Lubrano — 2013-05-18T17:21:17

Hello,

just to let you know that this snapshot : HEAD/201305161420Z is good 
enough to build the kernel on a Raspberry Pi now.

I managed to compile/boot (see 
http://www.netbsd.org/docs/guide/en/chap-kernel.html#chap-kernel-installing-kernel-sources 
with manual compile) smoothly, just adding the UNION FS as it seems 
quite usefull to save SDCard writes on /var/ stuff.

Thanks to the arm and Raspberry port devs ^^
Mat.

Re: Minor issue with kernel building script (NetBSD-6.1_RC4 related ?)

Greg Troxel — 2013-05-12T10:07:56

in rpi.mk, osrelease.sh is invoked with $(HOST_SH), so the  bug
in your build is that HOST_SH is empty.  You should be using the
nbmake-evbarm wrapper from the tools build.

Hi,

First: many thanks for the Raspberry pi port, keep up :-)

There is a little issue here with kernel building script. Everything

See, I have already unpacked, customised my kernel conf file, and moved

As Nick quickly replied to me, this part needs to go since its already done in
arm32_boot.c:


Now it boots into DDB but i haven't managed to get it into KGDB yet. Well, it
shows the colourfull graphics, so maybe its waiting now.

Trying to attach from my evbarm NAS doesn't seem to work yet though.

Ideas?

KGDB on evbarm (RPi)

Reinoud Zandijk — 2013-05-10T19:39:05

Hi folks,

i've tried to enable KGDB on evbarm. I've managed to get it compiled and i
think it *should* work, but when i try to connect to it, it just isn't
responding. It might well be that that is due to the wrong architecture
compiled gdb, but even on `cu' i see no communication going on.

Note that the patch is also adding DDB entry on startup when the RB_KDB flag
is set but neither when using the framebuffer nor when using the tty console i
see any activity nor dialog.

It might thus be related?

The current work in progress patch is attached.

Any ideas? What am i doing wrong? Is something not initialized correctly? Has
anyone managed to get into DDB and have a working keyboard too?

With regards,
Reinoud

iMAP x210 processor specs

2013-05-06T11:14:45

Greetings,

I found the specifications to the iMAP x210 SoC a few months ago:

http://aitendo3.sakura.ne.jp/aitendo_data/product_img/audio/info210/210-datasheet.pdf

Since then, I've lost access to the hardware. This CPU is used in these tiny
netbooks from a Spanish company called Airis (for one), which come with
Android installed. It would be cool to see NetBSD run on these and make them
the real computers that they are. They can be bought for 250 euro or less.

Just putting this out there in case anyone has time, interest, and access to
the hardware.

I found the issue; the fix goes in sys/arch/arm/omap/omap2430_intr.h
instead of sys/arch/arm/pic/picvar.h as I originally suspected.

Patch attached, FWIW.

Re: [sewen7< at >mail.ru: at91rm9200 configuration]

Sujit K M — 2013-05-03T12:45:23

Very Difficult to understand what is meant? Here is what I think is Meant.


I searched for size size in the document. But my understanding is
below as an example how do we know what is the size or address, moslty
elf format(relocatable).


This is an example of what I was finding. If it is a stack trace you
could as for trace else log of dmesg etc.



As far I think what this means MEMSIZE is not to be configurable, I
think this will me more lines of plug and play.


As far as I think of this, it is more of cross compiler/xen etc. to
better start of rather than buying AT91rm9200 .


Hope this is help ful.

hi! I collect NetBSD for the AT91rm9200-qu processor, I read article about http://www.netbsd.org/docs/kernel/porting_netbsd_arm_soc.html, there were questions:
1  .  how to learn the size size? 
# On-chip interrupt controler
vx115_pic0 at vx115_apb? addr 0x700C1000 size 0x14c

2 . If there is options MEMSIZE=256, it if the NAND flash card is connected... ?

3 . / arch/arm/at91 this stately NetBSD for a kernel, and everything about a payment of AT91rm9200 to collect and write in source codes for work to arch/evbarm/name_board (work with the flash card, the screen, MicroSD, SDRAm. ? the keyboard, all that is necessary and there is no arch/arm/at91 ?)
