# Installation -## A10 / A20 based boards +- 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 (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** + +# Tips and tricks + +## Video overscan compensation + +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: -* Start with an ARMv7 image from *evbarm-earmv7hf/binary/gzimg/* such as *beaglebone.img* -* Download a U-Boot build for your board from the linux-sunxi web site -* Write the *u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin* loader to the base image: -[[!template id=programlisting text=""" -# dd if=u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin of=beaglebone.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 MSDOS partition. -* Create or edit uEnv.txt on the MSDOS partition: -[[!template id=programlisting text=""" -bootargs=root=ld0a -uenvcmd=mmc dev 0; mmc rescan; fatload mmc 0:1 82000000 netbsd.ub; bootm 82000000 -"""]] - -## A31 based boards - -TBD. - -# 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 endianes needs to match. - -To build a big endian release (or sets) use -[[!template id=programlisting text=""" -./build.sh -m evbearmv7hf-eb -"""]] -where -eb means endianes 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. + setenv video-mode sunxi:1280x720-24,overscan_x=32,overscan_y=20 + saveenv + reset
