 matthewcroughan - nix.how | apps are just shell scripts | 18:06:51 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.how | so you can do whatever you want, including rm -rf | 18:07:00 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.how | and I suppose the only way to guarantee minicom would work is to run it as root, since the user mightn't be in the dialout group | 18:07:26 |

| luizribeiro | right, but there's no guarantee you are currently in uboot flashing mode. you need to enter that. | 18:07:58 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.how | Our instructions would be:
nix run .#flash- power up board
- success
| 18:08:30 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.how | flash can just be a bash while loop | 18:08:45 |

 Minijackson | hello all! Some of you might be interested by https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/177001, I have some piece of software that doesn't handle cross-compilation very well, so I'm using emulatedSystems instead. This PR contains what is needed to support a new system in the bootstraping phase | 14:30:17 |

| matthewcroughan - nix.how | Zhaofeng Li: Can you tell me if this is the only artifact I need to flash to get the generic sdImage booting on the Vision Five? | 18:50:43 |

| matthewcroughan - nix.how | Once I've built this, all I need to do is flash it using the method described in their docs, and I can move on by booting our generic sdImage? | 18:51:14 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.how | My only question would then be, how do I get the original u-boot back? I want to make a video describing how to do this, so I would need to flash the original back. | 18:51:38 |
