Hi *, 

I'm back for the moment.  I was wondering who has a Allwinner D1 riscv64 SBC?
This is the Mango Pi SBC.

I have one which has linux on it currently but I'm trying to boot OpenBSD on
it.  But I'm fairly lazy and haven't done much with this lately.  I can get
to the riscv64 loader but when it loads the kernel, it goes blind.  So there
is more than just getting the GPIO pins configured which I think I have been
able to adjust.

I use a QEMU-based riscv64 emulation to compile kernels which is slow but this
SBC isn't much faster either (1000 Mhz it claims).

I use this u-boot directive to get into the boot loader:

setenv bootobsd 'load mmc 0:1 0x4FA00000 
/boot/dtbs/5.19.0-1009-allwinner/allwinner/sun20i-d1-nezha-memory.dtb ;  load 
mmc 0:f 0x40080000  /EFI/OpenBSD/BOOTRISCV64.EFI ; bootefi 0x40080000 
0x4FA00000'

followed by a:

run bootobsd

I am unsure how to save this though in the u-boot itself.  Any hints would be
appreciated.

I think we need a specific riscv mailing list for this sort of stuff perhaps
it's too technical for misc.  Regarding to the nostradamus stuff of someone
from chicago (Re: A couple of Questions) , check out "1st wave" and 
"cade foster" on youtube (reruns), this will feed you more ideas.  my personal
opinion is that time travel of information is possible, contributing to major
headaches when events get changed (for the prometheus seers).

Back to "reality" I'm looking for a group of people to help getting the mango
pi working.  I'm hampered by pride to ask knowledged people and these people
have their own directions and I don't want to bother their efforts.  The more
we are the more we could possibly get something done.

Best Regards,
-peter

PS:  I'm looking at employment shortly as a stockboy internship.
