1.1 jakllsch 1: [[!meta title="NetBSD/evbarm on Raspberry Pi"]]
2:
1.39 wiki 3: This page attempts to document and coordinate efforts towards NetBSD/evbarm on [Raspberry Pi](http://www.raspberrypi.org). All board variants are supported.
4:
1.50 gdt 5: Initial, limited, Raspberry Pi support was introduced in NetBSD 6.0. NetBSD 7.0 adds complete support for the board, along with introducing support for the quad-core Raspberry Pi 2 board. Raspberry Pi 3 support was added for NetBSD 8, and backported to NetBSD 7 in July of 2017.

1.54 gdt 40: ## What needs work
1.53 gdt 41:
42: - USB (host); isochronous transfers.
43: - WiFi
1.64 gdt 44: - Raspberry Pi 3 in 64-bit mode. (Note that this will be provided by the evbarm64 port, rather than evbarm.)
1.53 gdt 45:
1.57 gdt 46: # CPU types
47:
48: Note that one can also use code for earlier models on later models.
49:
1.59 gdt 50: - Raspberry Pi 1 uses "earmv6hf".
51: - Raspberry Pi 2 uses "earmv7hf".
1.64 gdt 52: - Raspberry Pi 3 uses "earmv7hf".
1.57 gdt 53:
1.7 wiki 54: # Installation
1.53 gdt 55:
1.62 gdt 56: ## SD card structure
57:
1.65 ! gdt 58: The Raspberry Pi looks for firmware and kernel.img on the first FAT32 partition of the uSD card. A separate kernel (kernel7.img) is used on RPI2 and RPI3.
1.62 gdt 59:
1.65 ! gdt 60: The NetBSD kernel will then use the FFS partition as the root filesystem.
! 61:
! 62: A 2 GB card is the smallest workable size. The NetBSD filesystem will be expanded to fit.
1.63 gdt 63:
1.62 gdt 64: ## Choosing a version
65:
1.65 ! gdt 66: First, decide if you want to install a formal release (7.1), a stable branch build (netbsd-7, netbsd-8), or NetBSD-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.
! 67:
! 68: See also "ebijun's image", below, which is NetBSD-current and includes packages.
1.58 gdt 69:
70: ## Getting bits to install
71:
72: You can either build a release yourself with build.sh, or get one from the NetBSD FTP servers.
73:
1.65 ! gdt 74: Both will provide rpi.img.gz and rpi_inst.img.gz. Each is an image to be written to a uSD card, and has a FAT32 partition for booting. In rpi.img.gz, there is also an FFS partition for NetBSD.
1.58 gdt 75:
76: ### Building yourself
77:
1.65 ! gdt 78: 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 (the first two are equivalent):
1.59 gdt 79: - ./build.sh -m earmv6hf -u release
80: - ./build.sh -m evbarm -a earmv6hf -u release
81: - ./build.sh -m evbarm -a earmv7hf -u release
1.58 gdt 82:
83: ### NetBSD FTP servers
84:
85: NetBSD provides nightly builds on [nyftp.netbsd.org](http://nyftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/). These are equivalent to building yourself.
86:
1.59 gdt 87: - The 'evbarm-earmv6hf/binary/gzimg/' directory contains an rpi.img file that can be used as a single image for both boards.
88: - The 'evbarm-earmv7hf/binary/gzimg/' directory contains an armv7.img file that is optimized for Raspberry Pi 2.
89: - 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)
90: - 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/)
91: - 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/)
1.58 gdt 92:
1.65 ! gdt 93: ## Preparing a uSD card
1.10 wiki 94:
1.65 ! gdt 95: Once you have rpi.img.gz (or rpi_inst), put it on a uSD card using gunzip and dd, for example:
1.14 wiki 96:
1.60 gdt 97: - gunzip rpi.img.gz
98: - dd if=rpi.i7mg of=/dev/disk1
1.14 wiki 99:
1.58 gdt 100: ### Serial Console
101:
102: 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
103: edit cmdline.txt and remove '"console=fb"'.
1.14 wiki 104:
1.60 gdt 105: - 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".
1.41 wiki 106:
1.60 gdt 107: In Kermit, the command is "set flow none".
1.41 wiki 108:
1.60 gdt 109: In minicom, run "minicom -s" and set hardware flow control to "no"
1.41 wiki 110:
1.65 ! gdt 111: ### Enabling ssh
! 112:
! 113: If you want to enable ssh with the standard image, so that you can log in over the net without either a serial or HDMI console, mount the ffs partition, place /root/.ssh/authorized_keys, uncomment PermitRootLogin in /etc/ssh/sshd_config, and comment out the rc_configure=NO in /etc/rc.conf. Besides having to find the IP address, you will have to wait for the partition resizing and reboot.
! 114:
1.58 gdt 115: ### Installation with sshramdisk image
116:
1.65 ! gdt 117: build.sh (and hence the FTP site) also creates an image 'rpi_inst.img.gz' specifically for installation without HDMI or a serial console. Note that this image is much smaller and that you will need to fetch the sets over the network. To use this method, write that image to a uSD card as above, and then:
1.53 gdt 118:
1.61 gdt 119: - Ensure that you have a lan with a DHCP server.
120: - Connect an Ethernet cable from the RPI to the LAN.
1.19 wiki 121: - After starting DHCP client, SSH login to with user "sysinst", and password "netbsd".
1.17 wiki 122: - Be careful to note the ip address given during DHCP so you don't lose your connection
123: - Also for after the sysinst is done and the system reboots
124: - sysinst started!
1.16 wiki 125:
1.55 gdt 126: ## Installation via ebijun's image
127:
1.58 gdt 128: As an alternative to the standard installation images, Jun Ebihara
129: provides an install image for Raspberry Pi that includes packages. It
130: is based on NetBSD-current and is built for earmv6hf, and thus will
131: work on Raspberry Pi 1, 2 and 3. This image is typically updated
132: every few weeks.
1.55 gdt 133:
1.56 gdt 134: - [https://github.com/ebijun/NetBSD/blob/master/RPI/RPIimage/Image/README](https://github.com/ebijun/NetBSD/blob/master/RPI/RPIimage/Image/README)
1.55 gdt 135:
1.53 gdt 136: ## Updating the kernel
1.46 schmonz 137:
1.42 wiki 138: - Build a new kernel, e.g. using build.sh. It will tell you where the ELF version of the kernel is, e.g.
139:
140: ...
141: Kernels built from RPI2:
142: /Users/feyrer/work/NetBSD/cvs/src-current/obj.evbarm-Darwin-XXX/sys/arch/evbarm/compile/RPI2/netbsd
143: ...
144:
1.47 sevan 145: - Besides the "netbsd" kernel in ELF format, there is also a "netbsd.bin" kernel that is in a format that the Raspberry can boot.
1.48 sevan 146: - Depending on your hardware version, copy this either to /boot/kernel.img (First generation Pi, Pi Zero hardware) or to /boot/kernel7.img (Pi 2, Pi 3 hardware)
1.42 wiki 147: - reboot
148:
1.24 wiki 149: # Wireless Networking
1.53 gdt 150:
151: Note that the built-in WiFi in the RPI3 is not yet supported.
152:
1.24 wiki 153: - A Realtek 802.11n USB adaptor configures as urtwn(4).
1.25 wiki 154: - Configure with wpa_supplicant in /etc/rc.conf -
1.24 wiki 155:
156: ifconfig_urtwn0=dhcp
157: dhcpcd=YES
158: dhcpcd_flags="-q -b"
159: wpa_supplicant=YES
160: wpa_supplicant_flags="-B -i urtwn0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf"
1.25 wiki 161: - A sample wpa_supplicant.conf can be found at /usr/share/examples/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

165: ## Video playback
1.29 wiki 166: Accelerated video playback is supported in NetBSD 7 with the [OMXPlayer](http://pkgsrc.se/multimedia/omxplayer) application and through GStreamer with the [omx](http://pkgsrc.se/multimedia/gst-plugins1-omx) plugin.
1.27 wiki 167:
168: ## OpenGL ES
169: Accelerated OpenGL ES is supported in NetBSD 7. The GL ES client libraries are included with the [misc/raspberrypi-userland](http://pkgsrc.se/misc/raspberrypi-userland) package.
170:
1.28 wiki 171: ## Quake 3
1.27 wiki 172: A Raspberry Pi optimized build of *ioquake3* is available in the [games/ioquake3-raspberrypi](http://pkgsrc.se/games/ioquake3-raspberrypi) package. To use it, the following additional resources are required:
173:
174: - pak0.pk3 from Quake 3 CD
1.31 snj 175: - additional pak files from the [games/ioquake3-pk3](http://pkgsrc.se/games/ioquake3-pk3) package
1.27 wiki 176: - read/write permissions on /dev/vchiq and /dev/wsmouse
177:
1.31 snj 178: Place the pak0.pk3 file in the /usr/pkg/lib/ioquake3/baseq3 directory.
1.27 wiki 179:
1.32 wiki 180: ## RetroArch / Libretro
181: Using [emulators/retroarch](http://pkgsrc.se/emulators/retroarch) it is possible to run many emulators at full speed the Raspberry Pi. Emulator cores for various gaming consoles are available in the [emulators/libretro-*](http://pkgsrc.se/search.php?so=libretro-) packages. To begin using retroarch:
182:
183: - Install [emulators/retroarch](http://pkgsrc.se/emulators/retroarch)
184: - Install the libretro core for the system you would like to emulate (lets take [emulators/libretro-gambatte](http://pkgsrc.se/emulators/libretro-gambatte), a GameBoy Color emulator, as an example).
185: - Plug in a USB HID compatible Gamepad, such as the Logitech F710 in "DirectInput" mode (set "D/X" switch to "D").
186: - Create a config file for your gamepad using *retroarch-joyconfig*.
187: [[!template id=programlisting text="""
1.35 wiki 188: $ retroarch-joyconfig -o gamepad.cfg
1.32 wiki 189: """]]
190: - Launch the emulator from the command-line (no X required):
191: [[!template id=programlisting text="""
192: $ retroarch --appendconfig gamepad.cfg -L /usr/pkg/lib/libretro/gambatte_libretro.so game.gbc
193: """]]

1.53 gdt 195: # Developer notes
1.50 gdt 196:
1.53 gdt 197: These notes are for people working on improvements to RPI support in NetBSD.
1.50 gdt 198:
1.53 gdt 199: ## Updating the firmware
1.50 gdt 200:
1.53 gdt 201: You probably don't want to do this. Firmware updates can break things,
202: and the latest firmware that's been tested is already included in the
203: NetBSD build you installed.
1.50 gdt 204:
1.53 gdt 205: If you're feeling adventurous (or are the port maintainer), here's what
206: to test whenever you try new firmware:
1.50 gdt 207:
1.53 gdt 208: - Audio
209: - OMXPlayer (and [[!template id=man name="vchiq"]])
210: - Serial/framebuffer console
211: - CPU frequency scaling
1.50 gdt 212:
1.53 gdt 213: That goes for all of `rpi[0123]`.
1.1 jakllsch 214:
1.53 gdt 215: Upstream firmware releases are
216: [on GitHub](https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/releases).
217: Copy all files except `kernel*.img` into `/boot` and reboot.
