I've successfully installed OpenBSD 6.0 on an (original) cubieboard.
Because mmc/sd on sunxi doesn't have a driver yet, I'm booting off uSD but root
is on USB key.
It seems to work for the most part (dhclient doesn't seem to see
gateway or dns servers in the response, but that's easily worked around).
But there seems to be one quite serious bug: I can't seem to transfer anything
substantial out of the box.
An scp even of a small file (90k -- I tried /sbin/nologin) from the machine
hangs/stalls, causing all networking to stop and resulting in the following
message, repeated every few seconds, on the console:
sxie0: watchdog tx timeout
A reboot appears to be necessary to return things to normal.
Tried ssh machine 'cat /sbin/nologin' >myfile and that behaves in the same way.
I'm assuming from this there's an issue with the sxie driver, and any more
than minimal transfers out of the machine would cause a similar problem.
Any suggestions?
Regards,
John
