-You can run this boards with a little endian (this is the default and implied by above install instructions) -or with a big endian kernel and userland. However, kernel and userland endianness needs to match. +# Installation -To build a big endian release (or sets) use -[[!template id=programlisting text=""" -./build.sh -m evbearmv7hf-eb -"""]] -where -eb means endianness big, hf is hardware floating point support, and earm is the modern "extended" ABI for ARM CPUs, and finally v7 is version 7 of the supported instruction set. +- Download or build **armv7.img** (32-bit) or **arm64.img** (64-bit) from NetBSD -current +- Write the image to disk: **dd if=armv7.img of=/dev/rld0d bs=1m conv=sync** +- Install a board-specific U-Boot (2018.05 or later) from pkgsrc to the SD card + (the `u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin`-s are provided by `sysutils/u-boot-` packages): + **dd if=/usr/pkg/share/u-boot/<boardname>/u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin of=/dev/rld0d bs=1k seek=8 conv=sync** -# FEX scripts +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|ports/evbarm/install_using_sysinst]]. -Board configuration scripts can be found here: .

For example, uEnv.txt on a Cubieboard2 might look like this: +## Video overscan compensation -[[!template id=programlisting text=""" -bootargs=root=ld0a sysconfig=0x43000000 -uenvcmd=mmc dev 0; mmc rescan; fatload mmc 0:1 43000000 cubieboard2.bin; fatload mmc 0:1 82000000 netbsd.ub; bootm 82000000 -"""]] +On some television models, the borders of the screen may be cut off. If your television doesn't have an option to disable overscan, you can enable overscan compensation by entering the following commands at the U-Boot prompt: -Some pre-compiled .bin files can be found here: + setenv video-mode sunxi:1280x720-24,overscan_x=32,overscan_y=20 + saveenv + reset -# Framebuffer console +## Pinebook function keys -To use HDMI for the console device, add *console=fb* to bootargs in uEnv.txt. +The sleep (Fn+Esc), home (Fn+F1), volume down (Fn+F3), volume up (Fn+F4), and mute (Fn+F5) keys on the keyboard are mapped to uhid(4) devices. -If the connected display does not let you disable overscan, you can add a margin to the framebuffer by with the *fb.margin* bootargs option.
