Yeah, on NetBSD 9, the basic system is functioning. You can start up the X Window system with ‘startx’ at the CLI.
Also the network is working, so I’ve started trying to install packages, and set up users and stuff. Only bummer is that NetBSD 10 seems to detect the eMMC card. However 9 does not.
After adjusting the default sshd config to allow for root login and empty passwords and etc, the ssh works. So one can remotely manage the system.
It appears that @Donald_Duck is right, you can run this as a small server basically. It’s just too bad that NetBSD 10 doesn’t seem to have the USB working right.
I’ll see if in the future I can compile a NetBSD 10 kernel with the right drivers and etc to get it to work. That’ll have to be a project for a few weekends from now.
