Hello everybody, I am Berni from Germany and quite new here in the mailing list. I use several Raspberry 4B (8GB) with OpenBSD since a couple of years. No problems, rock solid systems.
But now I 've got 2 pcs. BananaPi M5. I made some tests with Debian and ArchLinux images and all teste were fine. However the intention is to run OpenBSD on the Bananas. Reading this mailing list I found nothing about BPi-M5 and OpenBSD, but some information about running OpenBSD on Odroid C4/HC4. The Odroid shall be quite similar to the Banana, an so I tried the hints about the Odroid: I wrote the OpenBSD image (miniroot72.img, install 72.img) and then the formware u-boot.bin.sd.bin onto the sdcard, connected the uart - but nothing happend. All 3 leds on the Banana light on, but no byte came over the uart. Test the uart connection with the debug-uart of the Banana brought some readable hard ware info. My questions are: Is there any experience with the BPi-M5? Was it the wrong way to try the Odroid u-boot? Or am I riding a dead horse with my BPi-M5? Thx & regards Berni
