PINE64

Thanks to for creating the builds!!!

Download latest from http://www.invisible.ca/arm/
dd'it to a microsd. In linux:

Code:
sudo dd if=./NetBSD-evbarm-aarch64-201811042130Z-pine64.img of=/dev/sdb

First boot

Plug the microsd into the pine
Boot the pine and wait for a couple of reboots (disk expansion)
Login as root (no password)
Configure password for root user

Code:
passwd

Create user (in my case, 'edu') and add it to the wheel group

Code:
useradd -m -G wheel edu

passwd edu

Edit /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf with the appropriate ssid/psk:

Code:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant

ctrl_interface_group=wheel

network={

        ssid="my favourite network"

        key_mgmt=WPA-PSK

        psk="hunter2"

}

Editing /etc/rc.conf to enable wpa_supplicant at boot. Notice my usb wireless adapter is urtwn0 (ifconfig will show you all the adapters):

Code:
wpa_supplicant=YES

wpa_supplicant_flags="-i urtwn0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf"

Start wpa_supplicant service:

Code:
chmod 600 /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

/etc/rc.d/wpa_supplicant start

Verify it:

Code:
ifconfig urtwn0

Update to latest current

As root user:

Code:
# Create a temporary directory

mkdir -p /root/tmp/kernel

cd /root/tmp/kernel

# Backup the current NetBSD kernel

cp /netbsd /onetbsd

# Download a full tar with kernel and dtb files

ftp https://nyftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/HEAD/latest/evbarm-aarch64/binary/sets/kern-GENERIC64.tgz

tar xzvf /root/tmp/kernel/kern-GENERIC64.tgz

# Overwrite the current NetBSD kernel and dtb files

cp ./netbsd /netbsd

cp sun50i-a64-pine64* /boot/dtb/allwinner/

# Reboot

reboot

After reboot

Code:
mkdir -p /root/tmp/sets

cd /root/tmp/sets

# Download and untar all sets

for x in base comp games man misc modules tests text xbase xcomp xfont xserver; do tar -C / -zxvpf $x.tgz; done

Update the /etc/ configuration

Code:
for x in etc xetc; do ftp https://nyftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/HEAD/latest/evbarm-aarch64/binary/sets/$x.tgz; done

etcupdate -s etc.tgz -s xetc.tgz

Verify everything works, then clean up and reboot

Code:
rm -Rf /root/tmp

reboot

Based on instructions:

Code:
<jmcneill> Updated sets are on the autobuild server: http://nycdn.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/HEAD/latest/evbarm-aarch64/binary/sets/

<jmcneill> Backup current (working) kernel: cp /netbsd /onetbsd

<jmcneill> Then take "./netbsd" from kern-GENERIC64.tgz and put it as /netbsd

<jmcneill> and you probably want to update the dtb in /boot/dtb/allwinner/ to match

<jmcneill> (latest dtb is in that same file)

<jmcneill> reboot with the new kernel, make sure it works..

<jmcneill> (you need to be running the new kernel for this latest step -- old kernel may not support new userland)

<jmcneill> then extract sets..

<jmcneill> for x in base comp games man misc modules tests text xbase xcomp xfont xserver; do tar -C / -zxvpf $x.tgz; done

<jmcneill> note that I skipped the debug sets (they are big) and etc/xetc sets (we upgrade those separately)

<jmcneill> To see what sets you have installed, ls /etc/mtree/set.*

<jmcneill> Then to update etc and xetc: etcupdate -s etc.tgz -s xetc.tgz

Thanks, will ask Pineadmin to add the images to the installer.

It seems we have news here:

https://twitter.com/jmcwhatever/status/1...6107128833

NetBSD ARM 64-bit images with SMP support now available at invisible.ca/arm

I've just installed it in a spare microsd and it seems to work fine so far (it boots!) Big Grin

The only caveat I've found is the wireless connectivity doesn't work (chipset not supported)

Updated first post with more information and how to stay updated in current.

Thanks.

To do sudo you need to install it from pkgsrc ;(

or not? O_o

Can I have a user & password to SSH login please?

I've successfully installed, on a 16Gb SD card:
NetBSD-evbarm-aarch64-201906031130Z-rockpro64.img.gz
It boots on my RockPro64 board. I resizes the root filesystem.
On second boot and waiting five mins, I can SSH to it but the SSHD daemon
won't accept <no password>

I've investigated, as suggested, mounting the SD card root filesystem on a Linux box
and adding a user manually. But on Fedora 29, "guestmount" doesn't work.
I don't have a serial console connection.

What I'm looking for is an OS for the RK3399 that supports the NEON extended instructions and
a C compiler that also has NEON support.

Hello,

I just received my pinebook and installed NetBSD on it. Can you please share what usb wireless adapter you are using - brand and model?

I had one spare wireless usb that was luckly compatible with NetBSD but I cannot remember the model, see https://www.netbsd.org/support/hardware/usb.html for a list of supported adapters.
