   Note that one can also use code for earlier models on later models.
   
    - Raspberry Pi 1 uses "earmv6hf".
    - Raspberry Pi 2 uses "earmv7hf".
    - Raspberry Pi 3 uses "earmv7hf".  (NetBSD does not yet have 64-bit support.)
   
 # Installation  # Installation
   
  - The automatic nightly builds  on [nyftp.netbsd.org](http://nyftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/) provide image files that can be used for installation. The Raspberry Pi and Pi 2 ports are part of the NetBSD 7 release.  First, decide if you want to install a formal release (7.1), a stable
     - The 'evbarm-earmv6hf/binary/gzimg/' directory contains an rpi.img file that can be used as a single image for both boards.  branch build (netbsd-7, netbsd-8), or current.  Note that 7.1 predates
     - The 'evbarm-earmv7hf/binary/gzimg/' directory, as of August 6th 2015, contains an armv7.img file that is optimized for Raspberry Pi 2.  Raspberry Pi 3 support.  For people who don't know how to choose among
     - The stable build directory will be under netbsd-7/YYYYMMDDHHMMZ/ (for example, http://nyftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/netbsd-7/201412161700Z/evbarm-earmv6hf/binary/gzimg/)  those, netbsd-8 is probably best.
     - The HEAD/current directory build will be under HEAD/YYYYMMDDHHMMZ/ (for example, http://nyftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/netbsd-7/201508062150Z/evbarm-earminstv7hf/binary/gzimg/)  
   - You can build your own version of these images using (for example) './build.sh -m evbarm -a earmv6hf -u release', or './build.sh -m evbarm -a earmv7hf -u release'  ## Getting bits to install
    - <i>gunzip and dd</i> this img to your sd card. For example,  
   You can either build a release yourself with build.sh, or get one from the NetBSD FTP servers.
   
   Both will provide rpi.img.gz and rpi_inst.img.gz.  Each is an image to
   be written to a uSD card, and it has a FAT32 partition for booting and
   an FFS partition for NetBSD.
   
   ### Building yourself
   
            dd if=rpi.img of=/dev/disk1  Getting sources and building a release with build.sh is not special for evbarm.
   Pick a CPU type alias and pass it to build.sh with -m.  Examples:
    - ./build.sh -m earmv6hf -u release
    - ./build.sh -m evbarm -a earmv6hf -u release
    - ./build.sh -m evbarm -a earmv7hf -u release
   
  - Using a serial console  ### NetBSD FTP servers
    - By default the rpi.img is set to use the HDMI output; to change to using a serial console first mount rpi.img (it's a FAT filesystem)  
   
            edit cmdline.txt and remove '"console=fb"'  NetBSD provides nightly builds on [nyftp.netbsd.org](http://nyftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/).  These are equivalent to building yourself.
   
    - Most (all?) USB-to-TTL serial adapters only connect Tx, Rx and ground, and do not connect any flow control lines. An effect of missing flow control is that you see console output, but cannot type anything. If so, adjust your serial console application's flow control settings to "none".   - The 'evbarm-earmv6hf/binary/gzimg/' directory contains an rpi.img file that can be used as a single image for both boards.
    - The 'evbarm-earmv7hf/binary/gzimg/' directory contains an armv7.img file that is optimized for Raspberry Pi 2.
    - The stable build directory will be under netbsd-7/YYYYMMDDHHMMZ/ (for example, http://nyftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/netbsd-7/201710201440Z/evbarm-earmv6hf/binary/gzimg)    
    - The not-yet-released stable build directory will be under netbsd-8/YYYYMMDDHHMMZ/ (for example, http://nyftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/netbsd-8/201710211010Z/evbarm-earmv6hf/binary/gzimg/)
    - The HEAD/current directory build will be under HEAD/YYYYMMDDHHMMZ/ (for example, http://nyftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/HEAD/201710202210Z/evbarm-earmv7hf/binary/gzimg/)
   
   ## Installing to uSD
   
   Once you have rpi.img.gz, put it on a uSD card using gunzip and dd, for examples
   
    - dd if=rpi.img of=/dev/disk1
   
   ### Serial Console
   
   By default the rpi.img is set to use the HDMI output.  If you wish to use a serial console, first mount the FAT32 partition and then
   edit cmdline.txt and remove '"console=fb"'.
   
       - Most (all?) USB-to-TTL serial adapters only connect Tx, Rx and ground, and do not connect any flow control lines. An effect of missing flow control is that you see console output, but cannot type anything. If so, adjust your serial console application's flow control settings to "none".
   
       In Kermit, the command is "set flow none".        In Kermit, the command is "set flow none".
   
       In minicom, run "minicom -s" and set hardware flow control to "no"        In minicom, run "minicom -s" and set hardware flow control to "no"
   
 ## Installation with sshramdisk image  ### Installation with sshramdisk image
   
   build.sh (and hence the FTP site) also creates an image 'rpi_inst.img.gz' specifically for installation without HDMI or a serial console.  To use this method, write that image to a uSD card as above, and then:
   
  - You may use the  rpi_inst.img.gz file created by an evbarm build.  
  - Connect Ethernet Cable to RPI.   - Connect Ethernet Cable to RPI.
  - After starting DHCP client, SSH login to with user "sysinst", and password "netbsd".   - After starting DHCP client, SSH login to with user "sysinst", and password "netbsd".
