 Leon | Did anyone here ever give porting NixOS to the BeagleV-Ahead board a shot? Tried my best to look through the channel history, but didn't immediately find any mentions of that.
Context: need to buy a dev board for RV64 kernel work. The BeagleV looks like a potentially interesting and "serious" devboard with good availability by major distributors worldwide, but if boards like the VF2 already have quite decent support, that might be a safer option to get started. | 14:19:34 |

 moody | anyone using nixos on a raptor talos machine? | 04:42:05 |

 Puna | i remember reading that amjoseph used a talos ii? dunno if he's on matrix though | 15:44:36 |
 @janik0:matrix.org | nope he is not :( | 15:45:02 |
| Puna | speaking of power, anyone here who could give this a look? not mergable until i can point the urls to tarballs.nixos.org, but i'm sure someone else confirming that they work would be beneficial to getting them pushed onto there: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/255451 | 15:53:06 |

| moody | https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/257699 I packaged up skiboot as well. If this is useful to folks | 19:04:47 |

https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/257699 I packaged up skiboot. If this is useful to folks it might be useful, but how would this be deployed on a real power9 machine? does it need a module? | 19:08:50 |
| moody | To use these you would need to flash them to the system, most vendors like raptor have their own forks of skiboot. This implementation happens to run within qemu. I am interested in using the environment to test kernel bring up | 19:12:13 |
 @linear:kity.wtf | you do not need to flash skiboot to the system to use it | 19:12:26 |
| @linear:kity.wtf | in fact, that is not even recommended | 19:12:40 |
| @linear:kity.wtf | until you know it's working well | 19:12:48 |
| @linear:kity.wtf | i have a power9 machine, i don't run NixOS on it. i can test things, but i also don't deal with the firmware stuff much, and i don't know if this just like, produces the image file i can pass to openbmc | 19:13:40 |
| moody | ah okay, thank you. I haven't gotten hardware yet | 19:14:33 |
| @linear:kity.wtf | it would be very nice to eventually have the entire firmware for this board as something i can just get nix to build for me | 19:15:37 |
| moody | what machine do you have specifically? | 19:15:51 |
| @linear:kity.wtf | RaptorCS Blackbird | 19:16:01 |
| moody | https://git.raptorcs.com/git/blackbird-skiboot/ This is their verstion of skiboot for the blackbird I think | 19:16:33 |
| @linear:kity.wtf | yes, i know | 19:16:43 |
| @linear:kity.wtf | i've tried to put the firmware together myself on other distros and not succeeded, and i need modified firmware because i'm using a non-officially-supported cpu so need custom WOF tables | 19:16:50 |
| @linear:kity.wtf | it does not seem to build at all except on whatever version of debian they're using, which i haven't felt like installing | 19:17:08 |
| moody | ah okay | 19:18:45 |

https://git.raptorcs.com/git/blackbird-skiboot/ This is their verstion of skiboot for the blackbird I think fwiw I have this building using nixpkgs right now | 20:08:50 |
| moody | as well as the talos one | 20:08:58 |
