OpenBSD on Pinebook 1080p?

Oh you're right. I didn't realize the PBP had a different chip. I have a Pinebook from 2018 and I think @elewarr has this one. That last model is what this thread was originally about (but I found it worked for mine too). Sorry for misleading you.

u-boot-aarch64 contains

Code:
$ ls /usr/local/share/u-boot/rockpro64-rk3399/*
/usr/local/share/u-boot/rockpro64-rk3399/idbloader.img             /usr/local/share/u-boot/rockpro64-rk3399/u-boot.img
/usr/local/share/u-boot/rockpro64-rk3399/u-boot                    /usr/local/share/u-boot/rockpro64-rk3399/u-boot.itb
/usr/local/share/u-boot/rockpro64-rk3399/u-boot.bin

so I imagine you could replace the u-boot with one of those. I did find https://github.com/sigmaris/u-boot/wiki/...t-sequence which gives different addresses to install to. I can't help test anymore.

This is probably a question for misc@openbsd.org at this point. I searched the archives and there's some talk about the pinebook (here) but nothing about the Pinebook Pro.

I still think you should double-check that you're writing to the correct disk, too. Try downloading one of these https://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/Pinebo...re_Release and seeing if that'll boot, just to double-check the details. OpenBSD on pine is still a work in progress -- well, so is everything, but obviously Linux has more support and testing.

From that boot-sequence page, I think you might be able to do this (on a Linux machine):

Code:
wget https://cdn.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/6.6/packages/amd64/u-boot-aarch64-2019.10.tgz
tar -zxf u-boot-aarch64-2019.10.tgz
sudo dd if=share/u-boot/rockpro64-rk3399/idbloader.img of=/dev/mmcblk1 bs=512 seek=64
sudo dd if=share/u-boot/rockpro64-rk3399/u-boot.img of=/dev/mmcblk1 bs=512 seek=16384
sync

This is comparable to these NetBSD instructions:
NetBSD-ARM Wrote:Download or build arm64.img (64-bit) from NetBSD 9.0 or later
Write the image to disk: dd if=arm64.img of=/dev/rld0d bs=1m conv=sync
Install a board-specific U-Boot from pkgsrc to the SD card dd if=/usr/pkg/share/u-boot/<boardname>/rksd_loader.img of=/dev/rld0d seek=64 conv=sync

Put the sdcard into the PBP and if it works you should see OpenBSD's branch of u-boot booting. Let us know how it goes!

If you get that far then you can adapt the install instructions for the Pinebook.

In fact I downloaded the vetted NetBSD image from http://www.armbsd.org/arm/ and inspected it:

Code:
$ wget http://www.armbsd.org/arm/netbsd-9/202002191440Z/NetBSD-evbarm-aarch64-202002191440Z-rockpro64.img.gz
$ gunzip NetBSD-evbarm-aarch64-202002191440Z-rockpro64.img.gz
$ hexdump -C NetBSD-evbarm-aarch64-202002191440Z-rockpro64.img

They diverge after that point but it's a good start.
#22
Subscribing to a topic here with email notification seems to not work.  And I didn't notice the presence of a 3rd page.

Yeah, I'm on the netbsd-arm mailing list, they have most of the PBP supported, I forget what's missing.  I don't know, I'd like to stop screwing around changing operating systems and get back to work.  This thing should do fairly well with Vulkan by everything I've read.  Maybe under Wayland, maybe not, I've only tried Wayland a couple times and not with the best compositor evidently.  I want to get back to programming.  I think you could do a pretty nifty SDR program if you could get the GPU doing the screen updates instead of the CPU.  Low enough CPU usage so it runs in the background is what I'm looking for.

So the 64 GB eMMC is looking a little tight for space trying to look forward.  You can buy an eMMC up to 256 GB but that's $200+, you can start getting into 1 TB SSDs for not much more.  https://www.newegg.com/p/pl?d=1tb+ssd+in...hard+drive  Maybe not the best price.  I haven't heard, but I assume you could put GRUB on one and have multiple operating systems.  I've done Thompson's Bullseye Debian debootstrap once but it seems to not work any more because something's broken in the support files.  Buster's good enough but the default Debian is Stretch.  So the paths would seem to be upgrade Stretch or debootstrap Buster.  I assume OpenBSD can't do any of that yet, maybe it can.  Mostly I guess it's nostalgia that makes me want to have it running.
#23
@ab1jx , have you tried making an install disk with

Code:
wget https://cdn.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/6.6/packages/amd64/u-boot-aarch64-2019.10.tgz
wget https://cdn.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/6.6/arm64/miniroot66.fs
tar -zxf u-boot-aarch64-2019.10.tgz
sudo dd if=miniroot66.fs of=/dev/mmcblk1 bs=512
sudo dd if=share/u-boot/rockpro64-rk3399/idbloader.img of=/dev/mmcblk1 bs=512 seek=64
# sudo dd if=share/u-boot/rockpro64-rk3399/u-boot.img of=/dev/mmcblk1 bs=512 seek=16384 # optional??
sync

Can you take a video of attempting those instructions? I have a good feeling about them.
#24
Waiting for a serial console cable, message got lost I guess. Already tried treating it like a RockPro64..
#25
OK, cable came, I tried the 3 fastest baud rates with 8N1 parity, just got gibberish.  There's text there, probably the normal installer text.   More than a line of it.  I should try random parity settings I guess, using Minicom, looked a little for something that would auto-set the communications parameters but I didn't find anything.  It's a USB plug otherwise I'd look at it with xoscope maybe.  My real oscilosope is analog, no help there.

Yeah, 115200 bits/second is 0.00000868055555555556 seconds/bit (8.6 usec) by apcalc.  xoscope goes down to 10 microseconds/division (probably depends on the sound card).  Might almost work if I had a USB breakout box.  I'd need to hook a soundcard input channel into a USB connector.  I don't remember if it's differential or not, possibly.
#26
Maybe try http://www.armbsd.org/ first. There's a pinebook pro image there: http://www.armbsd.org/arm/netbsd-9/20200...pro.img.gz. See if you can get that booting before you try to get a not-yet-supported OS booting. Good luck.
#27
There are early and late Pinebook Pro models which differ at least in their video, that could be a problem.  Mine arrived January 13, 2020 and is an ANSI keyboard version.  It has 1920x1080 in a 14 inch panel and a T860 Mali. https://www.pine64.org/pinebook-pro/

No, that Netbsd image doesn't work.   On the serial console I can see that something's there so it's trying but I haven't found the right baud rate and parity settings.  It seems to not correctly probe the video hardware or have the right driver because the screen stays black.  It isn't dead, we just aren't speaking the same language yet.

If this is the same point where the OpenBSD installer stops it may be asking me to choose a video type but it doesn't probe it and recognize it.
#28
Found these Rock64 instructions googling the baud rate https://github.com/krjdev/rock64_openbsd.  It says to use "minicom -D /dev/ttyUSB0 -b 1500000 -8"  Is that right?  115200 is the standard and what I tried.   Maybe it rounds to the same thing.

That was it, it uses a non-standard baud rate:
Code:

Now I need to get my OpenBSD miniroot and uboot set back up on the SD since I replaced them with NetBSD.  I never would have thought of trying 1500000.  Oh, it's not just rounding, it's 13.02~ times as fast.  115200 is the fastest normal Minicom speed:

The krjdev instructions are interesting, there's no dding in with an offset, you dd the flash spi first and use it, then dd the miniroot and boot it.  -->with a normal 115200 baud rate<-- run the installer, do the install, reboot and it's running OpenBSD.
1500000 baud is apparently only for flashing the SPI.  Which is maybe not what I want to do since I mostly want to use Linux.  But 1500000 baud matches the speed it's running at, with NetBSD anyway.

Put the sd card in, plugged in the uart cable, powered up.

Then it just sat there.  Long-press on the power button did nothing, hopefully the battery just went dead.  Charging now.

But in there is
Quote:"display-subsystem" at mainbus0 not configured
When I was building OpenBSD kernels years ago that meant you didn't have a driver, maybe you left it out of your kernel config file.  Quite likely there isn't any OpenBSD video driver.  But that's probably why there's nothing on the laptop's display.

I'm not sure why it went through the above and then exited, there's probably stuff missing other than just a display driver.  Many of OpenBSD's drivers seem to have come from NetBSD by the copyrights so if NetBSD has a driver for this it can probably be adapted.  But building it into the miniroot plus everything else missing would mean rebuilding the miniroot from source AFAIK which I'm not crazy about.  OpenBSD custom kernel building is officially unsupported, that's one of the reasons I stopped using it.  I was doing it for years until they told me I shouldn't.

The laptop still boots into Linux after a charge.  Maybe I'll leave some space for an OpenBSD partition on my new SSD, or maybe it'll get used for NetBSD or FreeBSD.  All the "not configured" devices above can't do anything.

And the answer was I'd need to try -current, not a released version.  Curent in OpenBSD is like Sid in Debian, it's the latest complete with rough edges.  Release 6.7 will have most of what's in Current now.  I'll give it a try when I can get it through my internet shoestring.

Quote:To elaborate a bit: several developers have one and good progress has
been made.  You'll need a very recent snap though and I'm not sure if
the wifi firmware package needed has been updated already. To be able
to boot from NVMe you'll need an updated u-boot. But e.g. X works
already.
