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} ${bootargs}
fi
================================ boot.ini ================================
ODROIDC-UBOOT-CONFIG
setenv bootargs "awge0.mac-address=${ethaddr}"
setenv bootcmd "fatload mmc 0:1 0x21000000 netbsd-GENERIC.ub; fatload mmc 0:1 0x20000000 meson8b-odroidc1.dtb; bootm 0x21000000 - 0x20000000"
run bootcmd
================================ cmdline.txt ================================
