Tutorials and FAQs / Re: OPNsense aarch64 firmware repository

Could you also build the DVD for aarch64? I have a pull request that fixes the creation for ARM64. This allows you to install opnsense like any other OS as long as the platform has UEFI available. (which many aarch64 devices do)

Unfortunately I do not have VMWare on my machine, only HyperV. I've tried to convert the vmdk to img (raw) using qemu-img, but it failed right at the beginning

qemu-img: error while writing sector 0: Input/output error

@korhojoa, if you could share your img file, that could help me a lot!

Thanks!

Hyper-V doesn't run on Windows on the Pi4, afaik, so are you trying to run a aarch64 os on a non-aarch64-platform or do you have a actual ARM device you're trying to run Hyper-V on?
I'm not going to put it anywhere, but just doing

Code: [Select]

$ qemu-img -V
qemu-img version 5.2.0 (Debian 1:5.2+dfsg-6)

$ qemu-img convert OPNsense-21.1.3-OpenSSL-vm-aarch64.vmdk -O raw OPNsense-21.1.3-OpenSSL-vm-aarch64.img worked fine for me. Again, note: not running it on a Pi natively, but virtualized.

ESXi that I'm running it on is the arm fling for Pi 4: https://flings.vmware.com/esxi-arm-edition

Important note though, if you downloaded the compressed version and are trying to use it without decompressing it first, well, you're going to have a problem.
hint:

Code: [Select]

lzop -d file.lzo

latest image is a vm thingy (vmdk.lzo), how to make an .img out of this? ;-)

I just run it on ESXi. Works nice on a Pi4. Use vmkfstools -i image-in.vmdk -d thin image-out.vmdk to make esxi happy.

If you want to convert it to something else,qemu-img is helpful.
