@lotte:chir.rs	i am building the same kernel as here: https://github.com/misuzu/nixos-vf2	18:36:41
@lotte:chir.rs	and i know that the natively compiled build works	18:36:57
@lotte:chir.rs	* and i know that the natively compiled build on that repo	18:37:11
@lotte:chir.rs	* i am building the same kernel code and config as here: https://github.com/misuzu/nixos-vf2	18:44:54

@lotte:chir.rs	i can try that	19:29:17
@lotte:chir.rs	ohhhh	19:29:39
@lotte:chir.rs	that makes sense	19:29:41
@lotte:chir.rs	yup that was it!	19:55:02
@lotte:chir.rs	thank you very much	19:55:06

Alex	misuzu I've been trying to boot your NixOS VF2 configuration (https://github.com/misuzu/nixos-vf2) on my rev1.3b board, but it doesn't seem to be working (continuous red LED, no green LED). I've also tried the pre-built native image you've published, but that didn't help. I don't have any way of connecting serial to debug it, so I thought I'd ask you a few questions that'll help me figure out what's going wrong: I flashed the latest firmware using the manufacturer's pre-compiled Debian image, could that be the cause? (The Debian image still boots.) Should I expect ethernet or HDMI out to work with your image? (I'm hoping to get the Linux console on HDMI.) Do the on-board LEDs blink when the system successfully boots, similarly to the Debian image? The GPIO switches on the board are currently set to boot from SD, since that worked for the Debian image; should they be set to something else?	11:10:18

j-k	has anyone recently tried m.2 ssd boot on VF2?	11:19:55
misuzu	In reply to @j-k:matrix.org has anyone recently tried m.2 ssd boot on VF2? root on nvme works	11:21:57
Alex	In reply to @misuzu:matrix.org 1 vendor firmware should work 2 ethernet should work, didn't test hdmi 3 red led should be on 4 there's no firmware in the image, boot switch should be set to boot from spi Thanks, after setting the switch to 00 ("Flash" according to the printing on the board), it boots and I now have a working SSH session. FYI, my monitor is saying that there's no HDMI output.	11:22:02
j-k	In reply to @misuzu:matrix.org root on nvme works thanks. I'll need to take some time to set this up! I think I saw you mention the cache has some native bits cached right? So if I'm using the matching nixpkgs in the flake & helpers etc I shouldn't be rebuilding absolutely everything right?	11:26:36

misuzu	Vendor u-boot doesn't support booting from nvme out of box, you'll have too type stuff to the console via uart :D	11:28:29

misuzu	I've my efi partition on an sd card and root on an nvme	11:30:44
j-k	In reply to @misuzu:matrix.org I've my efi partition on an sd card and root on an nvme would this still be required after using the bootloader flashing step at the top of the repo?	11:31:34
misuzu	In reply to @j-k:matrix.org would this still be required after using the bootloader flashing step at the top of the repo? Yes, it will flash vendor u-boot	11:31:59
misuzu	There's flash-visionfive2-upstream, but it's not working properly	11:33:00
j-k	ah I see. for VF1 as far as I remember we were flashing a non-vendor u-boot because they had a weird setup and couldn't boot anything other than their silly ISOs	11:33:06
raitobezarius	In reply to @misuzu:matrix.org There's flash-visionfive2-upstream, but it's not working properly hm why?	11:33:24
raitobezarius	I tried it and it worked	11:33:26
j-k	In reply to @misuzu:matrix.org Yes, it will flash vendor u-boot ok right, yeah it does say recovery 🤦	11:33:29
misuzu	In reply to @raitobezarius:matrix.org hm why? *for nvme boot	11:33:42
Alex	Newer versions of the vendor's bootloader might support NVMe boot. https://github.com/starfive-tech/VisionFive2/blob/8b7a21b808e02d996dc166d70f2675a059c2e1ed/conf/vf2_nvme_uEnv.txt	11:33:49
