TO DO: Add support for building images for the Raspberry Pi family #10

Since the Raspberry Pi platform is a good application area for a live system, adding support for building RPI images would be great.

@mrclksr, thanks for assigning a task to me. FreeBSD provides images for RPi already, but I'll try to figure out how to prepare them in case of NomadBSD first.

mrclksr commented 5 years ago

Great. Thank you, @dsalychev :)

mrclksr commented 4 years ago

was any progress made wrt nomad-pi ?

Unfortunately, no.

dubiouscript commented 4 years ago

any hints on what would be required for this to progress ?

i guess the starting point would be to see the aproprate arch ?

as the readme mentions

set ARCH= in build.cfg.

..and if it is posible to produce a rpi image , then ..i guess it woud hopefuly not be to much to add nomadBSD to pinn

pinn - enhanced Operating System installer for the Raspberry Pi - https://github.com/procount/pinn ... https://github.com/procount/pinn/issues/59 :thinking:

USB boot works really well for linux now Is there any ARM build we can work with? or a pi-gen of sorts for NomadBSD?

pynixis commented 3 years ago

Any status update on building Raspberry Pi images?

xtovski commented 2 years ago

Actually any ARM support would be awesome. IMHO RPi is pretty bad choice for initial ARM support as it has a lot of proprietary drivers. It makes it harder to port.
