Orange Pi R1 Plus LTS (RK3328) - Experiments with NetBSD ROCK64 images

The ROCK64 is a RK3328 based board just like our R1+, let's see how far we get trying to boot up the NetBSD ROCK64 image.

I download the image from here:

armbsd.org

I gunzip it, then copy it to an SD card using "dd".

The result is pretty disappointing. U-boot runs, but it doesn't even try to launch the kernel. It goes into some kind of mode trying to do BOOTP, then times out on that and drops me to the U-boot prompt. Some choice information from that is:

fdt_addr_r=0x01f00000
fdtcontroladdr=3df051c8
fdtfile=rockchip/rk3328-rock64.dtb
kernel_addr_r=0x02000000

The full log of the attempt is as follows:

But wait! I almost missed this because NetBSD has this annoying habit of wanting the "clear the screen" or some such and when I skipped past all the chatter about BOOTP retries, I missed it:
