[[!meta title="NetBSD/evbarm on Fuzhou RockChip SoCs"]]

NetBSD supports several boards based on RockChip SoCs. Starting with NetBSD 9.0, FDT is used to configure devices. As a result, a large number of boards and configurations can be supported with a single kernel.

Other systems may work, but they have not been tested.

# Supported hardware

Please refer to the [GENERIC64 (64-bit)](https://nxr.netbsd.org/xref/src/sys/arch/evbarm/conf/GENERIC64) kernel configs for the most up-to-date list of supported hardware.

# Installation

- Download or build **arm64.img** (64-bit) from NetBSD 9.0 or later
- Write the image to disk: **dd if=armv7.img of=/dev/rld0d bs=1m conv=sync**
- Install a board-specific U-Boot (2018.05 or later) from pkgsrc to the SD card
  **dd if=/usr/pkg/share/u-boot/&lt;boardname&gt;/rkspi_loader.img of=/dev/rld0d seek=64 conv=sync**

If your SoC has a SATA controller and you would like to install on
an hard disk and use a SD card only for u-boot please give a look
to
[[NetBSD/evbarm install via sysinst(8) on a SATA hard disk, USB stick or (u)SD card|ports/evbarm/install_using_sysinst]].
