- 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 |
|
branch build (netbsd-7, netbsd-8), or current. Note that 7.1 predates |
|
Raspberry Pi 3 support. For people who don't know how to choose among |
|
those, netbsd-8 is probably best. |
|
|
|
## Getting bits to install |
|
|
|
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 |
|
|
|
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 |
|
|
|
### NetBSD FTP servers |
|
|
|
NetBSD provides nightly builds on [nyftp.netbsd.org](http://nyftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/). These are equivalent to building yourself. |
|
|
- The 'evbarm-earmv6hf/binary/gzimg/' directory contains an rpi.img file that can be used as a single image for both boards. |
- 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, as of August 6th 2015, contains an armv7.img file that is optimized for Raspberry Pi 2. |
- 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-7/201412161700Z/evbarm-earmv6hf/binary/gzimg/) |
- 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 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/) |
- 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/) |
- 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' |
- 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/) |
- <i>gunzip and dd</i> this img to your sd card. For example, |
|
|
## Installing to uSD |
|
|
dd if=rpi.img of=/dev/disk1 |
Once you have rpi.img.gz, put it on a uSD card using gunzip and dd, for examples |
|
|
- Using a serial console |
- dd if=rpi.img of=/dev/disk1 |
- 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"' |
### 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". |

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. |
