2026-03-26-netbsd-raspi-earmv6hf.img (Re: Raspberry Pi update please.)

[Jun Ebihara <jun%soum.co.jp@localhost>]

I've updated 2026-03-26-netbsd-raspi-earmv6hf.img.gz for RPI.

https://cdn.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/misc/jun/raspberry-pi/2026-03-26-earmv6hf/2026-03-26-netbsd-raspi-earmv6hf.img.gz

- ruby33
 If YJIT is not available in the running environment (e.g., compiled
 with `--disable-yjit`), the constant `RubyVM::YJIT` is not defined,
 leading to the `NameError` despite the version check passing.

 pkgsrc/net/mikutter:
  /usr/pkg/share/mikutter/mikutter.rb:62
 -    RubyVM::YJIT.enable if RUBY_VERSION.split('.') >= %w[3 3]
 +    RubyVM::YJIT.enable if defined?(RubyVM::YJIT) &&
RUBY_VERSION.split('.') >= %w[3 3]

Update:
- NetBSD-11.99.5
- pkgsrc/www/dillo failed. try www/palemoon.
- fstab
  To resize_root,disable log from /etc/fstab.
- add net/nanotodon
  Nanotodon is a light-weight CUI/C99 mastodon client.

Need Checking:
- bluetooth keyboard/mouse setting
- RPI camera module
 http://mail-index.netbsd.org/current-users/2021/11/16/msg041683.html

Got Reports:
- HDMI output works very well however I wanted to change the resolution
  into 800x600 both tty console and X Window graphical modes. Where should I
  change it? As config.txt with hdmi_group=1, hdmi_mode=1 or hdmi_safe=1
  didn't work.
- USB input devices seem to work fine as well with my USB keyboard, mouse
  and barcode reader. However for my USB output device such as my Xprinter
  printer didn't work with device driver of ulpt(4). It is detected
  and working in OpenBSD.[9.0 release also occurs same error]

  [   195.114857] ulpt0 at uhub1 port 5 configuration 1 interface 0

  rpi# cat myfile.txt > /dev/ulpt0
  -sh: cannot create /dev/ulpt0: error 16
- with my Raspberry Pi 3B because every time I invoked this command
 "shutdown -h now" a kernel panic occurs relating to usbd_transfer.
- After shutting-down leaving the system unplugged, this will
  turn it's processor very very hot and seems harmful to the system.

See /etc/pkg_install.conf

PKG_PATH=http://cdn.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/misc/jun/raspberry-pi/earmv6hf/2025/

- If you use Official Package for NetBSD9:

set /etc/pkg_install.conf:
PKG_PATH=http://cdn.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/earmv6hf/9.0/

- If you update pkgsrc by yourself,comment out /etc/pkg_install.conf and check
