-## A10 / A20 / A31 based boards +# Installation -* Start with an ARMv7 image from *evbarm-earmv7hf/binary/gzimg/* such as *beagleboard.img* -* Download a U-Boot build for your board - * Download the correct build from the linux-sunxi web site . -* Write the *u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin* loader to the empty space at the start of the base image: -[[!template id=programlisting text=""" -# dd if=u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin of=beagleboard.img bs=1k seek=8 conv=notrunc -"""]] -* Write the image to an SD card. -* Copy the kernel (netbsd.ub) for your board to the root of the MS-DOS partition on the SD card. -* Create or edit uEnv.txt on the MS-DOS partition: -[[!template id=programlisting text=""" -bootargs=root=ld0a -uenvcmd=mmc dev 0; mmc rescan; fatload mmc 0:1 82000000 netbsd.ub; bootm 82000000 -"""]] - -## A80 based boards - -* Cubieboard 4 U-Boot for SD card: -[[!template id=programlisting text=""" -# dd if=u-boot-spl.bin of=/dev/sdd bs=1k seek=8 -# dd if=u-boot-sun9iw1p1.bin of=/dev/sdd bs=1k seek=19096 -"""]] -* First partition needs to be at +20MB offset. Format it as MSDOS, copy 'netbsd.ub' to it as 'uImage'. - -# Big (endian) fun - -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. - -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. - -# FEX scripts - -Board configuration scripts can be found here: . You can compile them with the "fex2bin" tool found here: . - -To use, copy the compiled FEX to your MS-DOS partition, load it with U-Boot, and then tell the kernel where to find it with the "sysconfig=" boot option. For example, uEnv.txt on a Cubieboard2 might look like this: - -[[!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 -"""]] - -Some pre-compiled .bin files can be found here: - -# Framebuffer console - -To use HDMI for the console device, add *console=fb* to bootargs in uEnv.txt. - -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. For example, to set a 25-pixel margin around the screen, add *fb.margin=25* to uEnv.txt - -# HDMI audio - -The default audio device is the analog audio codec. To change the default device, use the *audiocfg* command: - -[[!template id=programlisting text=""" -a31# audiocfg list -0: [*] audio0 @ awinac0: Allwinner CODEC A31, 2 playback channels -1: [ ] audio1 @ awinhdmiaudio0: Allwinner HDMI 1.4, 2 playback channels -a31# audiocfg default 1 -setting default audio device to audio1 -a31# audiocfg list -0: [ ] audio0 @ awinac0: Allwinner CODEC A31, 2 playback channels -1: [*] audio1 @ awinhdmiaudio0: Allwinner HDMI 1.4, 2 playback channels -"""]] - -# MAC address - -On boards where the ethernet MAC address cannot be determmined, a random MAC address will be generated every boot. You can override this behaviour by specifying a MAC address in *uEnv.txt*: -[[!template id=programlisting text=""" -bootargs=root=ld0a awge0.mac-address=02:a0:3d:88:1a:1e -"""]] +- Download or build **armv7.img** 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 (2017.07 or later) from pkgsrc to the SD card: **dd if=/usr/pkg/share/u-boot/<boardname>/u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin of=/dev/rld0d bs=1k seek=8 conv=sync**
