My poor #ODROID HC4 is having a hard time each time I send or receive  #GoToSocial posts on  #OpenBSD #arm64.

yeah, I know, this message will also add a drop of load to it :)

Got my ODROID-U3 (Exynos4412, 2013) running kernel 6.12.12 on Ubuntu 22.04. Key points:

- U-Boot 2020.10 is required. Check yours with `sudo strings /dev/mmcblk1boot0 | grep "U-Boot 20"`
- Generic Ubuntu kernels won't boot — missing Exynos4412-specific patches
- Solution: use hexdump0815's precompiled kernels from https://github.com/hexdump0815/linux-mainline-and-mali-generic-stable-kernel release `6.12.12-stb-exy+` tested on U3+
- Hold generic kernels: `sudo apt-mark hold
- Remove `flash-kernel` if installed

Once, someone asked what was the weirdest platform you run GtS on. Well...

 This message was sent from  #GoToSocial running on an  #OpenBSD #arm64 board (#ODROID HC4).

Now that #VictoriaMetrics and #Grafana have be moved to some #OpenBSD VPS  that is faily independant from my other playgrounds bases, the #ODROID is monitored using #collectd and is ready for more weirdo software testings. 

But this will wait until tomorrow! G’nite folks!

#RunBSD Recent obsession is about reusing #arm64 boards that sleep unplugged.. So today, here are two sets of notes regarding  #OpenBSD support.

Running on the #ODROID HC4 is pretty decent now. It already runs the DHCP, DNS and the WireGuard gateway. More is to come, if everything goes well.

Running on the #Raspberry Pi Zero 2W is fairly unstable as-of now.

Hardware photos. ASCII art. Tables of data. This post has it all! Updated my notes on my homelab hardware for those of you who are binary curious. #odroid #supermicro #radxa #raspberrypi #freebsd #debian #alpinelinux
