Thanks @Maurice - very useful repo

I built another image based on this repo, but at first attempt I didnt get everything into the image. But no matter, I got it to use the custom mirror via usb ethernet, download the necessary driver and is running well.

Thanks for your help!

Hi,

I am trying to use this release on an 8GB Orange Pi 5 plus, but am having trouble electing a suitable network interface driver for the built image. I must be doing something wrong, but am not sure what it is. Sorry for the FreeBSD/OpnSense newbie question...


With a FreeBSD 14.3 build host (physical) i am seeing reliable networking for the RTL8125 hardware using net/realtek-re-kmod198 but not with other drivers. Attempts to build an custom arm64 opnsense image to include this driver are failing in various ways (no driver installed in image, wrong version installed in image etc.) resulting in kernel panics and failure to boot.

I'm using EDK2-rk3588 v1.1 to provide a UEFI boot, and building the custom images with:

Code Select Expand

make update vm-qcow2,30G,2G,efi OS=14.3 SETTINGS=25.7 VERSION=25.7 DEVICE=ARM64VM ZFS=zpool

The build proceeds smoothly, generates an image, but it never seems to include my forked repo changes in the resulting image.
any ideas?

regards

Andrew
