24.7 build process, how to cut some packages for faster building time

[none]

Hi guys,

thanks for the help here. it worked just fine, I can build images and update them with no need to a full reinstall :)

I created some simple and not best written scripts to automate this process as a guide for any new comers.

Its available here: https://github.com/matheusber/opnsense

Thanks again for the help.

Franco, what is the process to add new devices?

Thanks again :)

PS: if changing the thread subject would help in people finding this repo building, its fine by me ;)

Hello friend!

  I have a NanoPi R5S and trying to build OPNsense, I followed the construction files that you made available on github and managed to reach the final step and generate the OPNsense IMG, but when writing to the SDCARD with win32diskimage it does not initialize on the NanoPI R5S, it would have Any steps I missed? Could you provide a working image for the NanoPi R5S that you managed to build?
I'm starting to study OPNsense Tools on github to understand how the build works.

Hi tax, sorry for the delay here. Which R5S conf you used? There are two: R5S.conf and R5S_SD.conf. The first just makes an image for R5S that is able to run it using both re nic's (I use the realtek-kmod198 port), and shoud be flashed to an USB media.

If you use R5S_SD.conf, that creates an image for sdcard media. I got it to work but had the unhappy news that not all sdcard are good for it. I myself got one Sandisk 32GB that won't boot opnsense ever, just boot code loops; Same image on a Kingston and Lexar, both 32GB, it all works great. I guess my Sandisk may not be from Sandisk :(

If your issue is on using R5S_SD.conf, then tell here I can try to help you.

The issue I'm working now is that sometimes /boot/loader.conf.local vanishes, and we get to loose both realtek 2.5Gbps nic's.
