Building
notes for building resflash for octeon (edgerouter lite). Octeon resflash images require a custom kernel. Resflash loads this into a fat partition, and the kernel needs to know where to find the root partition.
If you want to avoid cross compiling (I did), first do a basic install of openbsd on your octeon system (edgerouter) per here. Be sure to include the comp set.
example setlist:
[X] bsd [X] base65.tgz [ ] game65.tgz [ ] xfont65.tgz [X] bsd.mp [X] comp65.tgz [ ] xbase65.tgz [ ] xserv65.tgz [ ] bsd.rd [ ] man65.tgz [ ] xshare65.tgz
change fstab, make sure it's noatime and softdep (less iops to your usb stick, make it live longer) , e.g. below. The nfs mounts are explained later.
18e644d1b751b565.b none swap sw 18e644d1b751b565.a / ffs rw,noatime,softdep 1 1 18e644d1b751b565.l /home ffs rw,noatime,softdep,nodev,nosuid 1 2 18e644d1b751b565.d /tmp ffs rw,noatime,softdep,nodev,nosuid 1 2 18e644d1b751b565.f /usr ffs rw,noatime,softdep,nodev 1 2 18e644d1b751b565.g /usr/X11R6 ffs rw,noatime,softdep,nodev 1 2 18e644d1b751b565.h /usr/local ffs rw,noatime,softdep,wxallowed,nodev 1 2 18e644d1b751b565.k /usr/obj ffs rw,noatime,softdep,nodev,nosuid 1 2 18e644d1b751b565.j /usr/src ffs rw,noatime,softdep,nodev,nosuid 1 2 18e644d1b751b565.e /var ffs rw,noatime,softdep,nodev,nosuid 1 2 192.168.12.15:/volume1/src /usr/src nfs rw,wxallowed 0 0 192.168.12.15:/volume1/dest /usr/dest nfs rw,wxallowed 0 0 192.168.12.27:/volume1/vnodes /var/vnodes nfs rw,wxallowed 0 0
create a user to do the building.
useradd exampleuser user mod -G wsrc exampleuser
Then mount /usr/src on external storage (to avoid unnecessary compile related iops to usb), like nfs. Doing wxallowed because later on we may be compiling stuff with python or other tools that require wx.
mount -o wxallowed nas:/volume1/src /usr/src
Get the (6.5 in this example) stable source:
su - exampleuser cd /usr cvs -qd anoncvs@anoncvs.ca.openbsd.org:/cvs checkout -rOPENBSD_6_5 -P src
Similarly mount /usr/release on external storage. I advise against nfs here. Maybe use iscsi, or create an image inside an nfs export and mount it via vnd. (think vmdk on an nfs export) Example below uses vnd0, adjust if that one is in use (vnconfig -l will show)
dd if=/dev/zero of=release.img bs=1m count=0 seek=4000 status=none vnconfig <vnd0> release.img disklabel -E vnd0 newfs /dev/vnd0a mount /dev/vnd0a /release
Then run below script to create the kernel:
#!/bin/ksh export DESTDIR=/usr/dest RELEASEDIR=/usr/release MACHINE='octeon' NCPU=1 MYKERNEL=GENERIC DATEARG='+%H:%M:%S' part=d mkdir ${RELEASEDIR} chown build:wobj ${RELEASEDIR} echo "$(date "${DATEARG}") ${0}: ----- Building bsd.${part} -----" cd /usr/src/sys/arch/${MACHINE}/conf sed "/^config.*bsd/s/config.*/config bsd root on sd0${part} swap on sd0b/" \ GENERIC > GENERIC.${part} sed "/^include.*GENERIC/s/GENERIC/GENERIC.${part}/" GENERIC.MP > \ GENERIC.MP.${part} config ${MYKERNEL}.${part} rm GENERIC.${part} GENERIC.MP.${part} cd ../compile/${MYKERNEL}.${part} make -j ${NCPU} cp obj/bsd ${RELEASEDIR}/bsd.${part} cd .. rm -rf ${MYKERNEL}.${part} rm -rf /usr/obj/sys/arch/${MACHINE}/compile/${MYKERNEL}.${part} cd ${RELEASEDIR} cksum -a sha256 -b bsd.d >> SHA256.bsd.d
Now extract the distribution octeon sets from the matching release to /usr/release
cd /tmp/ ftp https://ftp4.usa.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/6.5/octeon/base65.tgz cd /usr/release tar xzvphf /tmp/base65.tgz tar xzvphf var/sysmerge/etc.tgz
get the latest version of resflash. Again, put it in an exported location like an nfs share (I mounted /var/local/resflash from an export)
cd /tmp ftp https://gitlab.com/bconway/resflash/-/archive/master/resflash-master.tar.gz cd /var/local/resflash tar xvfz /tmp/resflash-master.tar.gz
and you should be able to run build_resflash.sh and create a working image for resflash. Be sure to run build_resflash.sh from an octeon system as well. Partitions created by build_resflash.sh on a different architecture are not mountable from an octeon system. example command:
./build_resflash.sh -s 115200 7629 /usr/release/
put the image on your usb/sd card (example for octeon and amd images) :
dd if=resflash-octeon-3814MB-com0_115200-20191006_1234.img of=/dev/rsd3c bs=1m dd if=resflash-amd64-3814MB-com0_115200-20190427_2034.img of=/dev/rsd3c bs=1m
now boot from that usb stick and you are running a resflash modified version of openbsd on your edgerouter.
You can connect to it with a serial connection. E.g. from an openBSD system with a usb to serial adapter:
cu -s 115200 -l /dev/cuaU0
if the standard 80 columns are annoying to work with, change it to a bigger nr with stty:
stty columns 200
Also if you're doing this on an edgerouter lite, be sure to add below to /etc/rc.local so time is correct at boot
rdate pool.ntp.org
