NetBSD supports several boards based on RockChip SoCs. Starting with NetBSD 9.0, FDT is used to configure devices. As a result, a large number of boards and configurations can be supported with a single kernel.
Supported SoCs
| Family | SoC | NetBSD version | Example boards | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RK3328 | Rock64 | 9.0 | Pine64 Rock64 | |
| RK3399 | Rock64 | 9.0 | Pine64 RockPro64, Pine64 Pinebook Pro |
Other systems may work, but they have not been tested.
Supported hardware
Please refer to the GENERIC64 (64-bit) kernel configs for the most up-to-date list of supported hardware.

Installation
- Download or build arm64.img (64-bit) from NetBSD 9.0 or later
- Write the image to disk: dd if=arm64.img of=/dev/rld0d bs=1m conv=sync
- Install a board-specific U-Boot from pkgsrc to the SD card dd if=/usr/pkg/share/u-boot/<boardname>/rksd_loader.img of=/dev/rld0d seek=64 conv=sync
If your SoC has a SATA controller and you would like to install on an hard disk and use a SD card only for u-boot please give a look to NetBSD/evbarm install via sysinst(8) on a SATA hard disk, USB stick or (u)SD card.
