Hello all,
it's been quite a while now so I wanted to get back on track with the
macchiatobin and see it the support got any better with openbsd 6.5.
Alas, no progress on sensible things, the biggest one being the network.
The install itself is not straightforward either.
Here are the steps if someone is interested:
-get the U-boot as described in the previous posts
-install it on a uSD card
-put the miniroot on a SATA drive with a command like this :
dd if=openbsd/6.5/arm65/miniboot.fs of=/dev/sdc bs=1M
-on another SATA drive make a FAT32 partition and put the arm64 OpenBSD6.5
distribution files on it
-plug the uSD and the two drives on the macchiatobin
-boot the macchiato, with the console output you should see it boot directly
the miniboot
-install OpenBSD with the files from the second SATA drive, I choosed to
overwrite the first drive once I booted the miniroot
there you have a openBSD6.5 macchiato running, BUT
-no ethernet support
-even worse, no PCIe support
-no USB support (that's why I had to use a second SATA drive)
Even if you plugged in a separate PCIe network card you're out of luck... no
output with pcidump
I definitely hope some progress here :(
