It could have just been whatever uboot you had before. The sunix uboot I had worked to boot openbsd on my pi zero. I did not need to get uboot from any bsd package. Glad it works for you now.

I downloaded `u-boot-orangepi-pc2-2025.04.pkg` from pkgs.org binary `u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin` from FreeBSD packages, made `dd` and now I can boot OpenBSD installation. Is there no easier way to install on SoC OpenBSD for non-OpenBSD-users? вс, 5 окт. 2025 г. в 12:26, evily <[email protected]>: > > I have made some progress. > > At the first time I tried the file `u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin` from > Fedora `uboot-images-armv8-1:2024.04-1.fc40.noarch` package. > > Now I built u-boot from sources. > > I tried to build from: > > https://github.com/orangepi-xunlong/u-boot-orangepi.git > > But got some python incomprehensible errors while building for Orange Pi > PC2.
