Banana Pi R2
Hello! I saw the section "PF - Building a router" on your web page and thought that would be an interesting hobby project. Now I wonder if it's possible to install OpenBSD on a Banana Pi R2. In case it's not possible (or simply too advanced for me) I would appreciate alternative hardware suggestions. Regards, Per Gunnarsson
Re: Banana Pi R2
That hardware is not supported by OpenBSD.

Hi, Can you still log into the system on the serial console or on the dwge0 network interface when that happens? In any case, I have seen issues like this when using an inadequate power supply or if the hardware got too hot. You might want to expirement with hw.perfpolicy=manual and setting hw.setperf to various level to investigate whether it runs stable in that configuration. How hot does the chip get? hw.sensors should give an indication. > On Sun, May 3, 2020 at 1:23 PM Lear Zhou wrote: > > > Hi guys, > > > > With the kind help from Patrick Wildt, I am be able to run OpenBSD 6.7 > > beta on a NanoPi R2S.

Also there are only really 2 NICs, the others are connected to a switch chip using vlans to break out the ports, OpenBSD doesn't have infrastructure to control those (let alone a driver for the specific switch chip they use). If you are looking for small non-x86 and need a couple of NICs and want something already working then maybe https://www.openbsd.org/octeon.html are worth a look .. on the ARM64 side there are macchiatobin boards but they aren't anywhere near cheap.

And the network ports on those are unsupported.

On the macchiatobin I mean
Banana Pi? I have an RPi4 on OpenBSD 6.7
Dear all, I have been using a beagle bone black as my firewall for years. It works splendid. I run a dozen VLANS into the 100mbit Ethernet port and have the managed switch fan them out to rooms. This means internet needs to go into this thing and out again. At 100mbit, you get 50mbit peak (minus overheads). so I thought I am throwing away some bandwidth, I can do better and got myself an RPi4. Over the weekend I installed the OpenBSD snapshot on it. It works, but I have a problem with the Ethernet. Ping is a factor 10 000 slower than on the Beagle Bone Black. The Ethernet interface on BBB is cpsw0, on RPi4 it is bse0. I know 6.7 is only released today, so I will re-install the official release, but I doubt that much would have changed in 3 days. Does anyone have a suggestion what I should try? Thanks! Oliver

Re: Banana Pi? I have an RPi4 on OpenBSD 6.7
Oh, did you leave it in acpi mode or switch to device tree? You'll need some files from https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/tree/next/boot if it's in device tree mode. >From kettenis@: "A workaround is to take the bcm2711-rpi-4-b.dtb, fixup4.dat and start4.elf files from https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/tree/next/boot and put them on the MS-DOS partition of your uSD card."

If 2 lan's are enough, OpenBSD/armv7 runs fine on the Orange Pi R1, being one dwxe(4) and one ure(4). -- db
