Installing OpenBSD on XG-7100
-
Thanks, been through that at the start.
Is there another serial header on the board that we can use? If so can you provide the header block and the pinout info?
-
SoC UART1 is in pins 3 and 4 of J2. But that's not the issue here the serial console is working for the boot output just not the interactive console. I'd double check /etc/ttys.

Our development guys tell me that retraining for the RAM can take up to 10mins so that's likely the problem there. Just wait longer if you need to remove the RAM. Or to reinstall it if it has retrained without it.

Confirmed it varies but up to 10 minutes is what I'm seeing. I guess 5 minutes wait isn't enough sometimes. Still no luck in getting OpenBSD installed.
-
Wouldn't be FreeBSD the better choice to run on the XG-7100 anyway?

It really comes down to what you're doing with the XG-7100. In general FreeBSD would be sufficient, but at the same time we're trying a few other OS to see what the limitations of the XG-7100 so that we can for production use under different scenarios.

Sorry to bump this topic. I'm also trying to install OpenBSD.
@madapter Does your system only have the eMMc 32GB or a m.2?
I noticed that OpenBSD does not detect the eMMc.
FreeBSD does:
mmcsd0: 31GB <MMCHC BJTD4R 0.3 SN D071F424 MFG 01/2018 by 21 0x0000> at mmc0 200.0MHz/8bit/8192-block
mmcsd0boot0: 4MB partition 1 at mmcsd0
mmcsd0boot1: 4MB partition 2 at mmcsd0
mmcsd0rpmb: 4MB partition 3 at mmcsd0Could it be that because of the lack of detection of the eMMC, the system thinks it doens't have a HDD to install and thus does not show the install option?
-
You are seeing exactly the same output?
It still looks like it's trying to use the VGA console to me.

Yes, but eMMc is not mentioned:

Nope seems to hang just at that point when it's writing out the install menu. Booting verbose is also no help. Google is failing me. Seems surprising no one else has hit this on other devices...

I tried to install with 6.7-current but still the same issue. Could it be that some hardware is not supported by OpenBSD?

For some reason the installer is hanging at that point. I have no idea why. It seems to be uncommon, I can find no other similar reports.
Using OpenBSD on the XG-7100 is going to be pretty restricted anyway even you do get it installed. You would only be able to use the SFP ports or anything in the expansion slot.

I also tried to install Freebsd 12.1 via the serial console. That worked like a charm after doing "set kern.vty=sc" :-)
-
Yes, I would expect it to. It's odd that the OpenBSD installer freezes at that point. If there were some reason for it I would expect to see a load of similar reports on other hardware.
-
Could you help me out on how to configure Marvell 88E6190? I only see ix0 ix1 ix2 ix3. They don't detect any UTP-cable.
-
In OpenBSD? I have no idea if the switch framework even exists there TBH.
-
Sorry about the confusion. I was talking about FreeBSD. I gave up on OpenBSD :-)
I will look in the image of the XG-7100. If I understand it correctly. I have to link the switch ports to the "behind the scene" ports. -
Yes, but the pfSense image for the XG-7100 has a number of modifications to allow that to happen.
Is there some reason you cannot just use the factory image here?Steve
-
No, I'm just trying to learn about the system and how it works.
-
Ah, OK. The internal layout is described here:
