State of BSDs on the Pi Zero W?

Sat Oct 22, 2022 9:14 pm

Sounds to be in the dark ages ... :shock:

https://wiki.netbsd.org/ports/evbarm/raspberry_pi/

According my research Pi Zero should work but the kernel needs to be rebuilt.

Reality is this board is a black sheep amongst the RPI boards. So far what I found that even some linux distros not playing nicely with it. FreeBSD doesn't boot either.

If anyone have a fully working NetBSD image for this where wifi works, ssh enabled, camera works please share it thanks. :mrgreen:

I should donate 10-20 btc to make the BSD development progress :oops:

Not sure of what the problem is. Assuming all else equal, a USB header is added, and using a standard HDMI display local keyboard there should not be any issues booting NetBSD on the Raspberry Pi Zero or Zero W using the Raspberry Pi evbarm_earmv6hf SD image. Now there is likely to be some issues if you want to use the 802.11 from the Zero W, though that should be of little matter.

If you are not using the locally connected keyboard and monitor it will not work without first making some modifications to some configuration files in the FFS partition of the image, as by default it is configured not to allow any remote login for root access accounts.
