An overview on running #FreeBSD, #NetBSD and #OpenBSD on the #PINE64 #ROCKPro64 #arm64 board, bare and with PCIe extension cards, in the context of building a NAS system.

I’ve been lurking on the PINE64 ROCKPro64 for a long time but its price compared to other options has always kept me from buying one. But being very happy with my ODROID HC4, I went hunting for a ROCKPro64 and found one. I have (a small) ZFS NAS plans for it. But before I get all the hardware, let’s take a quick look at it running various BSD systems.

Which has the best source code?
----
Best is whatever you care about code quality. For some it might be design coherence, for others it might be resistance to security exploits, for others it might be architecture portability.

And now, the #dmesg for this bare #PINE64 #ROCKPro64 board have been uploaded to NYC*BUG dmesgd:

Small fix, big impact 🔧
Initial situation: The network card in my parents’ mini server (NUC5PHY, RealTek 8168/8111) wasn’t properly entering Wake-on-LAN mode during shutdown. The server powers down automatically after inactivity and is woken up on demand via cron (every 1 min) from their laptops. Without WoL, it just stays off → manual power-on required.
Solution: A patch for the NetBSD PCI network driver to hook it into the power management framework. On shutdown, the NIC is now correctly configured for WoL.
First tests: works as expected ✅
