 Snektron | Ive been wanting to patch uboot to include a pcie driver so that we can boot directly to nvme, but its more work than i hoped and ive been doing other useless projectd | 17:18:27 |

| misuzu | Once nvme drive is initialized in U-Boot, it won’t show up when booted in Linux | 18:07:28 |
 Alyssa Ross | Ericson2314: great news! Apparently FreeBSD is binary backwards compatible, so we should be able to drop the release numbers from our platform doubles. | 18:12:18 |
| Alyssa Ross | I think we (I) must have been confusing it with it not being source backwards compatible | 18:12:33 |
| Alyssa Ross | or possibly that the KBI isn't stable, but that isn't true for Linux either | 18:12:49 |

| Snektron | Good good | 18:18:51 |

yeah I'm in that channel via matrix but the bridge seems a bit busted 🤔. I was thinking more for nixpkgs specific discussions around minimal-bootstrap Alyssa Ross: would you know about if we could create a channel? :> | 02:07:44 |
 j-k | I think the process is just asking in #matrix-suggestions:nixos.org I'll add a message | 08:04:53 |
| Alyssa Ross | j-k: currently only Graham is really able to do that, and it's difficult to get his attention | 09:26:17 |
| Alyssa Ross | in the meantime, the stdenv channel would probably make more sense than here? and it's not very active | 09:26:47 |

 qbit | in the raspberry pi.. boot .. menu (sorry, i don't know what booter it is..) when you do the "Enter choice:" to select your generation.. is it possible to edit those? | 16:41:22 |
| qbit | as in.. add kernel command line option things | 16:41:49 |
| qbit | i should just re-install.. it's in a bad state probably >.> | 16:44:04 |
 @withoutwithin:matrix.org | will I need to flash the EFI firmware to get the nixos visionfive2 image booting? | 23:32:09 |
| @withoutwithin:matrix.org | ah yes, i do | 23:35:55 |
| 25 May 2023 |
| @withoutwithin:matrix.org | oh ugh it needs me to connect the visionfive2 to a nixos machine over serial | 00:00:29 |
| @withoutwithin:matrix.org | that is kind of logistically annoying given my spacebar heating of running windows on my tower and sshing into nixos machines | 00:00:50 |
| @withoutwithin:matrix.org | can I use the upstream buildroot SD image for the flashing? | 00:01:21 |
| @withoutwithin:matrix.org | assuming the files on https://github.com/misuzu/nixos-vf2/releases/tag/0.1 are the ones I should flash that is | 00:01:45 |
| @withoutwithin:matrix.org | ah yep, that works | 00:15:07 |
| @withoutwithin:matrix.org | NixOS is booting! | 00:15:10 |
