NetBSD on a ROCK64 Board.

Long story short, I had the chance to resurrect 4 single-board computers that were collecting dust in my office. I decided to install FreeBSD on one of them and it was a success. This time I will show you how and why I installed NetBSD on a second ROCK64 board.

Installing NetBSD on the Nintendo Wii!.

It's about time for another Wii homebrew project! Because thanks to some recent developments, it's possible to get NetBSD working on this thing. Oh... and it's the latest version too!

This blog is hosted on a Nintendo Wii.

While browsing the NetBSD website recently, I noticed the fact that there was a ‘Wii’ option listed right there on the front page in the ‘Install Media’ section, nestled right next to the other first-class targets like the Raspberry Pi, and generic x86 machines.

Unlike the other outdated and unmaintained examples above, clicking through to the NetBSD Wii port takes you to the latest stable NetBSD 10.1 release from Dec 2024. Even the daily HEAD builds are composed for the Wii.

As soon as I discovered this was fully supported and maintained, I knew I had to try deploying an actual production workload on it. That workload is the blog you’re reading now...
