15: about="""
16: NetBSD/evbarm is the port of NetBSD to various evaluation and prototyping
17: boards based on CPUs implementing the ARM architecture. NetBSD/evbarm also
18: supports some specific embedded system products based on prototype board
19: designs.
20:
21: ### SSH configuration
22:
23: The default configuration will connect to the local network via DHCP and
24: run an SSH server. In order to use the SSH server, we must configure
25: users. This can be done by writing to the SD card's MS-DOS partition.
26:
27: Create a creds.txt file and use:
28:
29: useradd user password
30:
31: <!--TODO: Additional configuration options are available on creds_msdos.8-->
32:
33: ### CPU types
34:
35: The evbarm port can be built with a variety of CPU options, corresponding to the
36: [large array of ARM CPU architectures](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_architecture#Cores).
37: There are
38: four main variables: the word size, the instruction set, the
39: endianness, and whether there is hardware floating point. By default
40: the CPU type is "earm", and this implies aarch32 (32-bit), earmv5 cpu
41: architecture, little endian (el when explicitly stated), and soft
42: (Emulated) floating point. Another example, suitable for Raspberry PI
43: 2, is earmv7hf, which is aarch32, the v7 instruction set, little
44: endian, and hardware floating point.
45:
46: Typically, various boards are best compiled with a CPU type that
47: matches the board's CPU and floating point support, but generally a
48: lower CPU instruction set version is workable on a newer board. See
49: build.sh and look for aliases for the evbarm port.
50:
51: Through NetBSD 8, the evbarm port has supported exclusively the
52: aarch32 (32-bit CPU) sub-family of the ARM architecture. Some
53: processors, such as many supporting the armv8 CPU architecture, also
54: support a 64-bit instruction set, referred to as aarch64. This is
55: sometimes referred to as a distinct port, [[NetBSD/aarch64|aarch64]],
56: with code in src/sys/arch/aarch64, but it is built as the evbarm port
57: with aarch64 cpu type, and available as the alias evbarm64.
58:
59: Note that MACHINE_ARCH=aarch64 currently refers to the A64 instruction
60: set and the aarch64 architecture, built for the armv8 architecture.
61: (Note also that armv8 is the first architecture to support aarch64, so
62: this will not be an issue until at least armv9.)
63:
64: ### anita and qemu
65:
66: 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.
67:
68: - evbarm-earmv7hf uses "qemu-system-arm -M vexpress-a15"
69: - evbarm-aarch64 uses "qemu-system-aarch64 -M virt"
70: - Information on how to test emulated versions of other specific hardware is welcome.
