Hardware and Performance / Re: [Work In Progress] OPNsense Ported into ARM Devices

« on: August 27, 2020, 08:18:28 pm »

I finally got a working opnsense on my espressobin v7. I used the img from @tsgan as a base image but wasnt able to autoboot out of the box.

I found someone in the freebsd forum who managed to get a working u-boot version with UEFI support and a FreeBSD version that works.

https://forums.FreeBSD.org/threads/freebsd-for-espressobin-marvell-armada-3700.70910/post-470496

So I used the u-boot version described in the forum and installed the 12.1 stable kernel to the image of @tsgan and my espressobin autoboots fine now.

pfsense works on this device:

As for OPNsense, you can try my image (it is not official one):

It works for me on espressobin.

I recently received my Espressobin v7 from Amazon and got it working with some modifications. I moved dtb/marvell/armada-3720-espressobin.dtb to efi/boot on the FAT partition and applied the following settings to u-boot (according to freebsd forum):

Code: [Select]

setenv fdt_name 'efi/boot/armada-3720-espressobin.dtb'
setenv image_name 'efi/boot/bootaa64.efi'
setenv bootmmc 'mmc dev 0; fatload mmc 0:1 $kernel_addr $image_name;fatload mmc 0:1 $fdt_addr $fdt_name; bootefi $kernel_addr $fdt_addr'
run bootmmc

To enable autoboot I added:

Code: [Select]

setenv bootcmd 'mmc dev 0; fatload mmc 0:1 $kernel_addr $image_name;fatload mmc 0:1 $fdt_addr $fdt_name; bootefi $kernel_addr $fdt_addr'

My only problem is that i get the following error on startup:

Code: [Select]

Startup error in /boot/lua/loader.lua:
LUA ERROR: cannot open /boot/lua/loader.lua: invalid argument.

can't load 'kernel'

So I have to run the following code in EFI console on every startup to boot into OPNsense:

Code: [Select]

set currdev=disk0p2
boot

I tried to add a variable for rootdev under System>>Settings>>Tunables but got the same error on a reboot. Did u have the same problem? How did u fix it?
