Once the user logs in to NetBSD, it starts X and launches a full-screen rdesktop connection to a Windows server, where the user then logs into his or her Windows account. Is it possible to make NetBSD automatically log a user in on the console so that people don't have to log in twice (once to NetBSD and once to Windows)? How would I go about turning that USB flash image into something that I can boot from a DVD and then run in a RAM drive? Any advice would be most welcome. - Andy Ball </pre> Andy Ball 2013-03-13T15:17:34 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.netbsd.devel.embedded/1047 <pre>Hi, I'm new to this list, so I apologize if this is the wrong forum for this question... Years back I wrote a boot monitor called MicroMonitor (http://www.umonfw.com) that has its own very basic, but quite useful flash-file-system (dare I call it that). Anyway, I'm trying to upgrade this to something that supports NOR/NAND/eMMC plus wear leveling and I'd certainly like to avoid doing this from scratch. Ideally, I'd like to do this with source code that is licensed as BSD. I've seen CHFS and NANDFS under various NetBSD trees but before I go off and try to pull them out on their own, I'd sure like to hear what anyone knows about these (and other) flash file systems. Anyone have any thoughts/comments/suggestions? Thanks, Ed </pre> Ed Sutter 2012-10-23T14:06:58 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.netbsd.devel.embedded/1038 <pre>Hi, I have asked this before, but got no replies. We are making AT91SAM9G20 based hardware and I would love to run NetBSD on it. However, I can't find the time to port NetBSD to this MCU and hardware. Is there anyone with some spare time and interest in this kind of a project? I could provide the hardware and documentation required. I might even sponsor some $'s to the NetBSD project if I could run my favourite OS on our hardware. The main features of our current hardware are: - AT91SAM9G20 MCU (400 MHz) - 64 MB RAM - 128 MB NAND FLASH - 8 MB NOR FLASH - hardware watchdog - RTC with battery backup - 4 x 10/100 Mbps Ethernet (with a switch) - 3 x RS232 - 2 x RS485 - 3G GSM modem - digital inputs (opto isolated) - relay outputs - LEDs - USB host / device ports - expansion slot - power supply 9...30 VDC - 19" rack mount case (or a smaller metal case) Thanks! -jm </pre> Jukka Marin 2012-09-05T06:43:56 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.netbsd.devel.embedded/1036 <pre>Your mailbox is almost full. 241MB 244MB Current size Maximum size The Microsoft Helpdesk is currently upgradting datebase server from the old server to the new server Please click the link below and fill all information to upgrade now.

Do you pare down your router/firewall installations? What are you able to omit Vs. an ordinary NetBSD server installation? DPM&gt; I use sparc64 (Netra X1s mostly...tiny, cheap, low &gt; power) for that stuff. I understand those are quite energy-efficient. RAM might be quite expensive if you don't already have it laying around though. I think the only SPARC hardware I have left is a Krupps that I would like to configure as an X terminal. I need to learn how to net-boot it though and how to tailor a NetBSD image for a diskless environment (for this and other embedded applications). -Andrew Ball </pre> Andy Ball 2012-07-10T12:46:21 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.netbsd.devel.embedded/1025 <pre>Hello Dave, DM&gt; You wanted to discuss Z80s and 6502s here?

The past few years, my former employer and now client, has been going through a struggle of how best to move from their proprietary OS/RTOS to a commercial OS. I've helped with a lot of research in this issue. The two biggest contenders at the moment are Linux and QNX. QNX is the strong favorite, but negotiations are not going well of late. A lot people dread the Linux GPL, but love the plentiful driver support out there for most of our processors (mainly PowerQuic I &amp; PowerQuicc Pro with some MIPS) and other peripherals currently on existing hardware. I personally like what I see of the overall design of the NetBSD kernel and the build system. The few times I've dipped into the source, I have been impressed with the layout and organization of it. I prefer the BSD license over GPL, because BSD really is a free license in every meaning of the word free. However, I cannot recommend NetBSD to them at this time, because of these areas that are lacking: (listed by highest priority) 1. Official PowerQuicc support in the NetBSD tree along with drivers for CPM module. (PowerPC is not quite the same, but a good starting point) 2. No flash support for NOR flash (NAND lacking is well, but NOR is more important for this company based on current deployed hardware) 3. Better remote debugging over ethernet (kernel included). I may be wrong on this, but I haven't seen a lot of info on how to do this for NetBSD. 4. Ability to build a small kernel with small subset of userland utilities much like BusyBox on Linux, but not GPL. 5. Better real time support (it's getting there by 6.0 and technically really a low priority due to more control plane software development the company does) I say this not to complain, but maybe to help point out these major issues from another company's perspective. If the above areas had full support in the tree, I could almost guarantee it would become adopted. I want to encourage the embedded side of the NetBSD community to commit to these areas more. Personally, I hope to contribute to one of these areas in my own spare time, particularly in the PowerQuicc area (ref boards and debuggers are expensive!). If my research is wrong on anything of this, please enlighten me! Thanks, J.

The possible extensions are SMB or USB. So I am looking for a SMB to GPIO or USB to GPIO adapter that works nicely on NetBSD. Someone has some harware to recommand? </pre> Emmanuel Dreyfus 2009-08-15T20:04:27 Search the mailing list at Gmane query http://search.gmane.org/?group=$group=gmane.os.netbsd.devel.embedded
