This I'm unsure of, I read reasoning that only 32 GB cards are supported because of the max size of FAT or something. I don't know if that's true or not. Plus, OpenBSD uses partitioning with a very small FAT partition for U-Boot and firmware. That said I have never tried running beyond a 32 GB card. > 3.

The 4B afaik takes a micro SD card. Some Pi's before it (the B+ for example) used a normal sized SD card. You can also boot OpenBSD off USB instead of the micro SD card (on the 4B). I do that with a SSD on an adapter (but it's slow). Here is a gotcha that you may not know. I have an old -current version from December running. The sound doesn't yet work with that version of OpenBSD afaik and I've been using a soundserver on my other Pi (a B+ running raspbian) over the network. It works out well, Youtube works with iridium browser. One more thing I've been using OpenBSD 25 years almost and the Raspberry Pi setup is one of the hardest setups I've dealt with. I'm not saying I'm a seasoned admin but I have quite a bit of experience, it once took me a full day almost to figure out how to get OpenBSD on the Pi. Patience is what one needs to bring, a lot of it. And good eyes to read the INSTALL doc. This is probably the last time I'm doing RPi support as I'm rearrangeing my workspace for electricity savings and the Pi will be gone in March at the latest (I'm reusing it with OSMC in the living room or something). I hope I was able to answer some questions. > Thanks, > Steve Williams > > Best Regards, -peter

Considering a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B, but a bit lost...
Hi, I currently have a PC Engines APU2 that's been my central workhorse for quite a few years now. I want to delve into cheaper systems for OpenBSD so I can have more of them around my house :D I was considering a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B and I have a couple of general questions: 1.

Add Product ID 0xc158 make failure
Hello,
I am trying to add a new PCI product ID (0xc158) for a serial interface
interface card to /usr/src/sys/dev/pci/pcidevs.
For some reason e.g.: an omission or error due to something I should
[not] have done; make will not execute as shown below with other
relevant information.
I would appreciate some guidance and input from anyone who can identify
my omission or error.
A dmesg is not included to keep this short, but I am able to provide one
if it is required to identify the reason that make fails.

Mirrors down for maintenance?
Hello everyone, Is anyone else getting "ftp Connection refused" when trying to access the mirrors? I checked the announcements email archive today and didn't see anything about maintenance. I found this email chain in the archives which is exactly what I'm experiencing. https://www.mail-archive.com/misc@openbsd.org/msg152927.html This chain references another set of emails that showed some mirrors were down for maintenance at that time. I have two laptops running OpenBSD and both seem to have this issue. I tried a bunch of other mirrors to no success. Also I used one of them yesterday and was able to connect successfully then so that leads me to believe the issue isn't on my end. Thank you for your help!

If you want you can talk with Pascal Dornier who makes the APU boards. He responds to email and to the PC Engines forums. He's open to discuss chocies. The newest APU variant is coming with a 2.5Gbps Intel chip since the 1Gbps part is unavailable. The igc driver for this chip already has multiqueue support. If someone did multiqueue on the em driver, that would complete the circle. Chris

'rcctl reload' tells sndiod to reload its configuration.
AFAIK, sndiod has no configuration.
Given the sndiod -F above, it shouldn't be necessary
to do anything here.
