 samueldr | though after some experimentation I think I see what could have been wrong | 00:53:19 |
| samueldr | but a reliably booting system is just what I want for now | 01:02:49 |
 andi- | Ugh,the Helios is pain? Didn't they advertise it as mainline and such? | 01:06:03 |
| samueldr | kind of | 01:06:40 |
| samueldr | it's built directly on top of mainline | 01:06:50 |
| samueldr | but with loads of not-upstreamed-yet patches | 01:06:58 |
| samueldr | so it's a BSP, but not the SoC vendor's crusty BSP | 01:07:09 |
| andi- | Meh | 01:07:10 |
 hexa | they had an issue with the 2.5GigE nic, that couldn't do 1G | 01:07:15 |
| samueldr | and they do work on upstreaming | 01:07:19 |
| samueldr | but it's not done yet | 01:07:30 |
| samueldr | and they stopped for a few months | 01:07:33 |
| samueldr | https://blog.kobol.io/2021/04/23/kobol-taking-a-break/ | 01:07:45 |
| samueldr | but I didn't buy it thinking it'd be mainline-ready at the release, or else I'd be pretty pissed | 01:08:23 |
| samueldr | hexa: yeah, fixed in the following board design, can be fixed if you have the electronics rework experience required | 01:09:20 |
| samueldr | so yeah, now that I have something to work off of, I can start setting it up, then pare down to the minimum required changes on top of mainline | 01:09:50 |
| samueldr | because... WHEW does armbian not care (seemingly) | 01:10:02 |
 pennae | bookmarks shop link :D | 01:10:43 |
| samueldr | and they went and somehow decided that they'd work with armbian for the only supported OS... at least that's my understanding and it might be wrong | 01:11:10 |
| samueldr | but that rubs me a bit wrong | 01:11:14 |
| samueldr | but yeah, being RK3399 it's a question of time and not a question if, for a proper mainline support | 01:12:28 |
| hexa | In reply to @samueldr:matrix.org
hexa: yeah, fixed in the following board design, can be fixed if you have the electronics rework experience required which neither you nor I have :D | 01:20:40 |
| samueldr | yep | 01:20:48 |
| samueldr | annoyingly, next design will include an ECC variant | 01:20:56 |
| hexa | wee | 01:21:01 |
| samueldr | and they're already talking about the new RK chip | 01:21:02 |
| hexa | the A76 one I hope :D | 01:21:11 |
| samueldr | really feels sore to be early adopters | 01:21:11 |
| hexa | yeah, that is annoying | 01:21:23 |
| samueldr | RK3568 | 01:21:22 |
