| Only one CPU supported so far. The arm64 code is still new, give it time :)
I’m using a USB wifi adapter:
urtwn0 at uhub4 port 2 urtwn0: Realtek (0x7392) 802.11n WLAN Adapter (0x7811), rev 2.00/2.00, addr 4 urtwn0: MAC/BB RTL8188CUS, RF 6052 1T1R, address 80:1f:02:94:40:12 urtwn0: 1 rx pipe, 2 tx pipes urtwn0: 11b rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps urtwn0: 11g rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps
Hi,
Now it does not crash anymore. But looks like it booted with 1 CPU only.
"sysctl -a | grep cpu“ shows not 4 and „top“ always show "1 on CPU“. Hmm.
How can I safely find out how many CPUs are in use?
Now it crashed again after plug in my USB ethernet dongle after 15 minutes. I will try a different USB device. I have a WIFI dongle here. Maybe its related to that ethernet dongle. VIdeo was running but blurred to much. Could not read anything. Will try again.
Ill keep you updated.
How do you gain access to the internet from your pinebook?

Hi,
Did it get stuck in that loop with ddb._onpanic_=1 ?
Yes. I enabled that.
No X server yet. It seems it’s not enabled in the build, and I just learned today that I can’t build xsrc from macOS. I’ll fix it but I need to setup a build environment w/ case sensitive FS first.
Having a X server running would be really nice.

Mine has a urtwn(4) plugged in, and I flipped the “enable UART on headphone jack” switch inside, but no other changes apart from that. It’s a 14” model FWIW.

Hi,
Do you have any extra devices plugged in? Using the original AC adapter?
Original AC adapter, nothing plugged in. Looks like it’s stuck in a loop there. Any way you can capture the first message printed?
I can try to make a video then I can jump to the frame that shows first message. Will be some work. But I can try. Give me an hour.
Mine has been running for ~3 hrs on an arm64 kernel extracting pkgsrc, no panics yet..
Sounds nice.
Will a XServer be running? Or does it require some extra work?

Hi,
It boots!!! Looks nice.
But it crashes after 2 mins. Please see attached a photo. Please keep me updated somehow. I am willing to try new builds of course. If I can help just tell me.

I seem to have better luck when it is plugged in to AC. You can try holding the power button for a bit (I think the light patterns change) to reset the management processor as well.
Hi Jared,
Just did that. My PineBook is kidding me now. It does just not enable the display for an half an hour now. Any hint how to trick the PineBook to boot the display??? :DDD

Arg, wrong dtb on that image. The fixed dts is in head but not the branch that contains arm64 support.
Please replace dtb/allwinner/sun50i-a64-pinebook.dtb on the MSDOS partition with the attached one and let me know if it works.
Cheers, Jared
Hi,
>In /etc/sysctl.conf change ddb.onpanic to 1 and reboot.. bad default imho. Next time it crashes it should drop you to a debugger instead of rebooting. I will try that.
NetBSD arm64@pinebook does boot but shows pixel garbage. I have a video if you are interested. Damn.
Best regards Andreas
Hi,
I will test now if new build still crashes a) with USB hub attached b) or not and report here.
Current build of NetBSD arm32@PineBook crashes here after 15 minutes uptime without having USB devices attached. Again without any messages.
I will try now the arm64 build. I am super curious.
Best regards Andreas
Hi Jared,
I’ll start doing board specific images once arm64 support is merged into CVS and the auto build servers start generating builds. I don’t think think this is very far off.
That is amazing.
I’ll send you a build to try in the meantime.
That is even more amazing.

One question: Are ARM32 packages available somewhere? I do not read anymore about it on http://invisible.ca/arm
Best regards Andreas

I’m testing a 64-bit kernel on my Pinebook today, so far things are looking promising.
That sounds nice!!! Can I test or something? Will builds be available somewhere? I am excited to hear that.
