mirror.bytemark.co.uk appears to have removed all OpenBSD content?

2024-02-26 Thread Peter Kay
Just been to upgrade a rather old system I keep OpenBSD on for fun all
the way up from 6.9, and found bytemark no longer seem to be hosting
any OpenBSD content.

Fortunately there's a couple of archives with pretty much every
OpenBSD release ever, so sysupgrade is currently rather busy

dhcpleaseed message in cloud environment

2024-02-26 Thread J Doe

Hi,

I have an OpenBSD 7.4 VM on Vultr and I sometimes notice the following
from dhcpleased in syslogd:

Feb 22 21:50:51 server dhcpleased[83222]: parse_dhcp: message from
 too short

Although the message is referred to as being "too short", dhcpleased
successfully acquires an IP for the VM and all is good.

With everything being virtual for my VM, why would there be truncation
in the DHCP message ?  Secondly, is this something I should be concerned
about ?

Thanks,

- J



DisplayLink or external video card support

2024-02-26 Thread Nowarez Market


Hello,

Thanks for answering to the previous post, indeed.

What I'm actually trying to realize is how to connect a small portable screen
(to use in vertical orientation, for notes and sketches)
with an hdmi/vga connection.. to my station without free display ports
(DP and HDMI ports are already used); further more my station has no usb-c 
ports.

Looking some products I realized about the existance of DisplayLink products
(certified gigs) or similar usb-a external video cards, that seem quite 
expensive
(DisplayLink) or quite new to the market (Aug/End 2023) expecially
in their hdmi version, eg:

https://amzn.eu/d/2MWQDbX
https://amzn.eu/d/6Xpnq6l

My economics are really very few and dispite all of their bad advertisement 
against any Unix support..
do you think there is any practical chance to render the video flow of my 
OpenBSD by
an external usb-a device ?

Thnx!

Hello,

Screen rotation is currently supported?
And what about Xfce?

Thanks!

RK356x is not a viable platform for use with ACPI.  I'd recommend to
switch to a Linux-mainline device tree and use a current U-Boot, if
possible.



Add support for RK356x eMMC controller

2024-02-26 Thread Mizsei Zoltán
Hi,

on NetBSD  the following is used to support the eMMC modules on RK356x. Would 
it possible to implement asomething similar for OpenBSD?

https://github.com/NetBSD/src/commit/f30b89bb4385f5fe218ff86be5d458a51fc62d4c

For more info see the original commit message below:

"acpi: sdhc: Add support for RK356x eMMC controller.
RK356x has a DesignWare eMMC controller that is somewhat SDHCI compliant,
with one major problem -- the clock divisor doesn't actually work. To
change the clock card on Rockchip SoCs, the clock frequency needs to be
adjusted in the Clock & Reset Unit (CRU) directly.

The RK356x UEFI implementation introduces a DSM that allows drivers to
request firmware assistance in setting the card clock rate, for instances
like this where the divisor is broken.

>From the UEFI README:

  Function 1: Set Card Clock

  The _DSM control method parameters for the Set Card Clock function are
  as follows:

  Arguments

   * Arg0: UUID = 434addb0-8ff3-49d5-a724-95844b79ad1f
   * Arg1: Revision = 0
   * Arg2: Function Index = 1
   * Arg3: Target card clock rate in Hz.

  Return

   The actual card clock rate in Hz. Will be less than or equal to the
   target clock rate. Returns 0 if the target clock rate could not be set."

Thanks.
