Hi John, I fixed the sxie(4) tx watchdog issue yesterday. So new snapshots should be working much better.
It is not really possible for us to provide install media for all the different armv7 boards supported by our kernel. However, for the boards in the "sunxi" family (such as the Cubieboard) the instructions can be simplified quite a bit. You can just write a miniroot image to your SD card and then overwrite the bootloader: # dd if=miniroot-cubie-60.fs of=/dev/rsdXc # dd if=/usr/local/share/u-boot/Cubieboard/u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin \ of=/dev/rsdXc bs=1024 seek=8 This assumes you're writing fron an OpenBSD systems and installed the u-boot package. If you want to do it from a differnt (unixy) system, you can probably just download the u-boot package from: http://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/6.0/packages/amd64/u-boot-2016.07.tgz and untar it in a temporary directory and pick up the appropriate u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin from there. Cheers, Mark
