Hello. :) The installation instructions for getting up and running with OpenBSD 7.8 on ODroid HC-4 devices is conspicuously absent from the install docs. The only articles I can find about booting the OpenBSD installer on the HC4 are from the v7.2 era, and following them doesn’t result in a bootable image.
I removed Petitboot as per the instructions on installing on v7.2. I’ve imaged an SD card with install78.img (for arm64), and downloaded the u-boot.sd.bin image, and used ‘dd’ to copy the firmware to the same card. I’m working from a Mac, so the device names are slightly different, but here’s what I’ve run: > % sudo dd if=install78-arm64.img of=/dev/disk4 bs=1m > 523+1 records in > 523+1 records out > 549257216 bytes transferred in 81.924005 secs (6704472 bytes/sec) > % sudo dd if=u-boot.bin.sd.bin of=/dev/disk4 bs=512 skip=1 seek=1 > dd: /dev/disk4: Resource busy > % hdiutil unmount /Volumes/BOOT > "/Volumes/BOOT" unmounted successfully. > % sudo dd if=u-boot.bin.sd.bin of=/dev/disk4 bs=512 skip=1 seek=1 > 3067+1 records in > 3067+1 records out > 1570672 bytes transferred in 0.423776 secs (3706373 bytes/sec) > % hdiutil unmount /Volumes/BOOT > "/Volumes/BOOT" unmounted successfully. > % sudo dd if=u-boot.bin.sd.bin of=/dev/disk4 bs=1 count=444 > 444+0 records in > 444+0 records out > 444 bytes transferred in 0.015915 secs (27898 bytes/sec) > When I pop the card into the HC4, it tries to boot up, but I get: > booting sd0a:/bsd sd0a:/bsd: Inappropriate type or format > failed (79) will try /bsd Trying to interrupt the boot process with the keyboard (to try some diagnostics) doesn’t work, I imagine it’s because the keyboard is an Apple unit with USB ports, so it appears as a hub, not a keyboard. I can fetch a different one (or two) tonight to see if that makes a difference. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. :)
