1.1 mspo 15: about="""
1.89 nia 16: NetBSD/evbarm is the port of NetBSD to various systems based on chips
17: implementing the ARM architecture. The "evb" component is a reference
1.95 nia 18: to evaluation boards, the original target of the port. However, the
19: single GENERIC/GENERIC64 kernel now supports a range of machines including
20: development boards, virtual machines, "ServerReady" (SBBR/SBSA) hardware,
1.105 ! wiki 21: and laptops through both device tree and ACPI based booting. [Friendly image downloads](http://www.armbsd.org/arm/)

1.42 gdt 27: ### CPU types
28:
1.89 nia 29: Various CPU variants are supported, e.g:
30:
1.96 nia 31: - evbarm-earmv6hf - ARMv6-A with EABI and hardware floating point, e.g.
1.89 nia 32: the original Raspberry Pi.
1.96 nia 33: - evbarm-earmv7hf - ARMv7-A with EABI and hardware floating point, e.g.
1.89 nia 34: most recent and common 32-bit ARM boards.
35: - evbarm-earmv7hfeb - Same as the above, but with the CPU running in
36: big endian mode.
1.105 ! wiki 37: - evbarm-aarch64 - 64-bit ARMv8-A boards.
1.89 nia 38: - evbarm-aarch64eb - Same as the above, but with the CPU running in
39: big endian mode.
40:
1.90 nia 41: Since NetBSD 9.0, 64-bit ARM processors are supported (referred to here
42: as aarch64). These run with fully 64-bit kernels and userland. Running
1.96 nia 43: 32-bit ARM binaries is also supported with `compat32`. The 64-bit
44: kernel supports up to 256 CPUs and the 32-bit kernel supports up to 8.
1.90 nia 45:
1.95 nia 46: Since NetBSD 9.0, there is support for symmetric and asymmetrical
47: multiprocessing (aka big.LITTLE).
48:
1.89 nia 49: evbarm variants are little endian unless otherwise stated. NetBSD provides
50: big endian images primarily for testing purposes and to ensure that the code
51: is endian-clean.

75:
1.105 ! wiki 76: NetBSD developer Jared McNeill provides [builds of NetBSD 9 and -current for a vast variety of hardware.](http://www.armbsd.org/arm/) In addition to the standard build, these images have board-specific U-Boot contents. See also /usr/pkgsrc/sysutils/u-boot*.

79:
80: The default configuration will connect to the local network via DHCP and
81: run an SSH server.
82: In order to use the SSH server, we must configure users.
83: This can be done by writing to the SD card's MS-DOS partition.
84:
85: Create a creds.txt file and use:
86:
87: useradd user password
88:
89: See [creds_msdos(8)](https://man.NetBSD.org/creds_msdos.8) for
90: additional configuration options.

1.77 gdt 93:
1.88 nia 94: anita can be used to test builds. (In addition to anita, install qemu and dtb-arm-vexpress from pkgsrc.) The release subdirectory should follow the naming convention on the autobuild cluster, used below.
1.77 gdt 95:
1.91 nia 96: - evbarm-earmv7hf uses 'qemu-system-arm -M vexpress-a15'
97: - evbarm-aarch64 uses 'qemu-system-aarch64 -M virt'
1.88 nia 98: - Information on how to test emulated versions of other specific hardware is welcome.
