 dramforever | this plus marking them in meta plus adding them into actual hydra jobs lets you schedule these failing derivations into a full system emulation or real riscv64 machine | 16:45:27 |
| dramforever | it "worked", but nobody got around to actually marking stuff... | 16:45:48 |
 Alyssa Ross | globally disable checking if using binfmt imo 😈️ | 16:49:41 |
| dramforever | i need to get nix --binfmt-misc pr'd into nix some time... | 16:50:49 |
| dramforever | if you haven't seen, https://github.com/dramforever/nix/pull/25 | 16:51:16 |
| dramforever | it's just a little bit too hacky, and the rabbit hole got so deep i sent a patch to linux man-pagea | 16:51:55 |

 JamieMagee | Yeah, qemu-user | 17:39:14 |

| JamieMagee | I appreciate you taking the time to look into it with me. I've closed out my PR and I'll workaround it locally with an overlay. | 05:20:07 |
 Alex | Frankly, I'm surprised that QEMU continues to get RISC-V emulation subtly wrong. | 06:13:22 |
| Alex | Or is the issue unrelated to QEMU in that some things behave weirdly when userspace and kernelspace are on different architectures? | 06:15:15 |
| Alyssa Ross | often qemu-user just doesn't implement certain stuff — remember it's not just emulating the architecture; it has to emulate the whole Linux API | 06:23:38 |

Looks like the visionfive2_fw_payload.img should be flashed to /dev/mtd2 instead of /dev/mtd1

| erremilia | This should be fun to play with | 19:37:02 |
 Dr. Worm | oooh nice | 19:38:17 |
| Dr. Worm | same chip as starfive v2 iirc so it should be somewhat easy to use | 19:38:37 |
| erremilia | Sounds good! Me and my SO mostly got it to play with and just see some Risc-V stuff but it'd be awesome if it turns out to be useful. | 19:39:52 |
 raitobezarius | let us know how it goes | 19:40:12 |
| raitobezarius | I ragequit my riscv stuff currently because I will go in vacations soon and had higher priority, but still interested into getting in a place where we can start having remote builders all together | 19:40:34 |

 fgaz | In reply to @erremilia:matrix.org
sent an image. Nice, the number of star64+nixos users just doubled! | 07:12:19 |
| fgaz | By late next month we'll be over a billion | 07:12:51 |
| fgaz | erremilia: I have a native NixOS image here https://sr.ht/~fgaz/nixos-star64/ | 07:13:29 |

| erremilia | Could you compile a 8GB image for me? I haven't been able to get it to compile properly and on your 4GB image it never seems to connect to the internet or anything and haven't had the time to try and hook it up to serial. | 03:13:48 |
| fgaz | erremilia: sure. I'm actually updating the image right now, so I think it'll be ready tomorrow or the day after | 13:52:39 |
| fgaz | erremilia: the 4GB image should run on 8GB though. make sure you set the dip switches on the right position. both up (= flash) works both for uSD and eMMC with factory firmware. not sure about nvme | 14:27:20 |
| erremilia | I manually flashed the sd card instead of doing it like that assuming it'd work | 14:28:32 |
