Re: Banana pi pro no video

[Ron Georgia <netverbs%gmail.com@localhost>]

UPDATE:
Downloaded and installed latest version from invisable.ca (uname -r 8.99.45) and created uSD card. Still no video, but that's okay, I was able to login through the serial port. I still do not see the attached SATA SSD drive. I tried both an SSD and spinning drive, neither show up. Any suggestions?

    I am trying to install NetBSD on a Banana pi pro. I downloaded armv7 from http://nycdn.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/HEAD/latest/evbarm-earmv7hf/binary/gzimg/armv7.img.gz
    
    I dd the image to sd0d
    $ sudo dd if=armv7_HEAD.img of=/dev/rsd0d bs=1m conv=sync
    
    I then tried both bananapi u-boot image from =/usr/pkg/share/u-boot based on the wiki found here: https://wiki.netbsd.org/ports/evbarm/install_using_sysinst/
    
    $ sudo dd if=/usr/pkg/share/u-boot/bananapi/u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin of=/dev/rsd0d bs=1k seek=8 conv=sync
    $ sudo dd if=/usr/pkg/share/u-boot/bananapi-m3/u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin of=/dev/rsd0d bs=1k seek=8 conv=sync
    
    Note: the documentation says of=/dev/rld0d bs=1k seek=8 conv=sync. Notice the rld0d not rsd0d. Is that right?
    
    Any help is appreciated.
    
    The boot.cmd does not match what the docs says it should be.
    I looked at boot.cmd:
    
    if test "${board}" = "am335x" ; then
    	setenv kernel netbsd-BEAGLEBONE.ub
    	setenv mmcpart 0:1
    	setenv bootargs root=ld0a
    else
    	setenv use_efi 1
    fi
    
    if test "${soc}" = "tegra210" ; then
    	# enable PCIe
    	pci enum
    fi
    
    if test "${use_efi}" = "1" ; then
    	setenv boot_scripts
    	setenv boot_script_dhcp
    	run distro_bootcmd
    else
    	fatload mmc ${mmcpart} ${kernel_addr_r} ${kernel}
    	bootm ${kernel_addr_r} ${bootargs}
    fi
