OpenBSD on the A20-OLinuXino-LIME2

This guide will explain how to get OpenBSD to run on the A20-OLinuXino-LIME2 Rev. K single-board computer by Olimex. We will go through modifying and compiling U-Boot to make the LAN port work, as well as following OpenBSD's -current branch to get all the security fixes.

OpenBSD 6.7 on PC Engines APU4D4

I just got myself a PC Engines APU4D4. I miss an OpenBSD box providing home services. It’s quite simple to install and run OpenBSD on this machine. And you can even update the BIOS from OpenBSD.

OpenBSD Laptop.

Hi, I know it’s been a while. I recently had to nuke and re-pave my personal laptop and I thought it would be a nice thing to share with the community how I set up OpenBSD on it so that I have a useful, modern, secure environment for getting work done. I’m not going to say I’m the expert on this or that this is the BEST way to set up OpenBSD, but I thought it would be worthwhile for folks doing Google searches to at least get my opinion on this. So, given that, let’s go…

OpenBSD 6.9 Router Benchmarks.

I've been using OpenBSD for my home router/gateway for years, and have run it on a number of different types of hardware. I recently got Verizon's gigabit service which is advertised at up to 940 Mb/s download and 880 Mb/s upload speeds, so I decided to benchmark some of the routers I have laying around. The contestants are:

- Ubiquiti EdgeRouter Lite: dual core 500 Mhz Cavium Octeon, Cavium ethernet using cnmac driver
- PC Engines APU4: quad core 1 GHz AMD GX-412TC Jaguar, Intel i211AT ethernet with em driver
- Ubiquiti EdgeRouter 4: quad core 1 GHz Cavium Octeon, Cavium ethernet with cnmac driver
- Supermicro E300-8D: quad core 2.2 GHz Intel Xeon D-1518 (SMT disabled), Intel I210 ethernet with em driver

Opening a Garage Door Using OpenBSD on a Raspberry Pi.

OpenBSD lets one control the GPIO pins on a Raspberry Pi. Controlling a garage door is simple: connect the GPIO output pin to one side of a relay's coil, connect the 5 volt output of the Pi to the other side of the relay's coil, and connect wires from your garage's wall console to the relay's common and "normally closed" ports. Running the program below opens or closes the door. Since the Pi will be connected to the garage wall console, you'll want to enable sshd. I've named my Pi "garage" and my program "og," so I can open the door remotely with ssh garage /home/sven/bin/og

My Fanless OpenBSD Desktop.

After the disappointment of my X1 Nano and learning that all future Intel “Evo”-branded laptops would lack S3 suspend, I started thinking about returning to my M1 MacBook full-time or building an OpenBSD desktop. I chose the latter, building my first desktop machine in many years...

In this guide we're going to take a look at how we can use cheap and "low end" hardware to build an amazing OpenBSD router with firewalling capabilities, segmented local area networks, DNS with domain blocking, DHCP and more.

We will use a setup in which the router segments the local area network (LAN) into three separate networks, one for the grown-ups in the house, one for the children, and one for public facing servers (a DMZ), such as a private web server or mail server. We will also look at how we can use DNS to block out ads, porn, and other websites on the Internet. The OpenBSD router can also be used on small to mid-size offices.

OpenBSD on the HiFive Unmatched.

My desktop's power supply died, and rather than replace the ill-fated PSU I decided to go with something different. OpenBSD's new riscv64 port looked interesting, so I got a HiFive Unmatched to see how it would work as an OpenBSD desktop...

How to talk to a local IPMI under OpenBSD.

Much like Linux, modern versions of OpenBSD are theoretically able to talk to a suitable local IPMI using the standard ipmi(4) kernel driver. This is imprecise although widely understood terminology; in more precise terms, OpenBSD can talk to a machine's BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) that implements the IPMI specification using one of a number of standard interfaces, as covered in the "System Interfaces" section of ipmi(4). However, OpenBSD throws us a curve ball in that the ipmi(4) driver is normally present in the default OpenBSD kernel but not enabled...

OpenBSD on a Lenovo Thinkpad X220.

This is going to be yet another post about installing / running OpenBSD on an old Thinkpad X220. It’s not going to be different than all of the other guides that are already out there, but my motivation and what came of it afterwards might be interesting for some folks.
