Subject: Results of more testing on Orange PI zero/one boards

I have been doing a bit more testing of orangepi-zero and orangepi-one
systems under NetBSD-9, NetBSD-10 and NetBSD-current. I reported a few 
problems a few weeks ago on these two boards and wanted to report what
I have found. I am using images from armbsd.org

Both boards seem to work fine on NetBSD-9.

The orangepi-one board fails to boot successfully under NetBSD-10 or
NetBSD-current. The problem is due to the kernel not finding a root
device as the sdcard is not detected/attached.

There is a workaround: If the orangepi-one dtb on the above media is
replaced by the dtb supplied under NetBSD-9 then the board boots 
correctly. Looking at the differences between the decompiled dtbs
from NetBSD-9 and NetBSD-10 there are a few significant differences
and I wonder if something is tripping up the code which parses the
in-core dtb to enumerate the device tree. If someone could point me
to where in the source tree this code lives then I could try adding
some debug code to see what is happening...

dmesg NetBSD-10 unmodified:

Be nice if this problem culd be sorted before 10 is finalised...


The orangepi-zero board exhibits a different problem. It boots up fine
under NetBSD-9, NetBSD-10 and NetBSD-current, however the ethernet
interface only works under NetBSD-9. Under the later systems the
interface lights come on, the interface appears to be up, but no
packets will pass. The clincher is that under NetBSD-9 dhcpcd gets an
address, whereas with the others is doesn't and manual config/pinging
the gateway also fails.

Again this isn't very helpful behavior. I did try the trick of using
the NetBSD-9 dtb, but it made no difference. Maybe a problem with the
?phy? although the dmesgs for all the systems are the same:
