you need to download the serial image and unzip it if required so you have an *.img file.

this file needs to be copied to your USB stick using the following command:

Code: [Select]
dd if=/path/to/opnsense.img of=/dev/device_of_usb_stick bs=4k
the rest is booting the device while having serial attached.

for cannot access: do you execute the command as root?

it should boot from the USB Stick where the Image is

Hi,
have you tried to boot up another HW with the media (i.e. your pc)?

I think @kraileth has asked the right question for the problems of the usb3 boot (https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=5314.0) and he has also written a really good blog post but not linked himself , I'll do it now > (https://eerielinux.wordpress.com/2017/06/20/building-a-bsd-home-router-pt-5-installing-opnsense/).
Perhaps this is also a new puzzle piece: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D12471
All together, it currently looks like a FreeBSD 11.x / SDHCI (xHCI) / Kernel problem.

PCEngines says as well (http://pcengines.ch/howto.htm#OS_installation) :
"Do not use an SD to boot FreeBSD based OS like pfSense and OPNSense on apu2 boards. Only very recent kernel versions fully support booting via SDHCI.."

@vikozo which bios has your apu2 exactly?

cheers

In which way did you find this review? We can certainly try it but it seems some context is missing on why it could be puzzle piece.


Cheers,
