 DavHau | OK, for rust the compiler is target platform specific like with gcc? | 11:10:44 |
 Alex | Oh I just noticed it has the riscv64 target triple in the file name, very weird.
No, rustc is multi-targeting because it's based on LLVM. It's probably being given the wrong build flags.
Have you looked through the build logs for anything suspicious? | 11:45:27 |
| DavHau | Could not spot anything. I guess I'll inspect the source once I find the time. | 16:40:25 |

 Tristan Ross | Why does nixos-hardware use the upstream u-boot instead of the Starfive fork for the VisionFive 2? I'm looking to boot from an NVME and it looks like using the fork would be better. | 15:59:03 |

Why does nixos-hardware use the upstream u-boot instead of the Starfive fork for the VisionFive 2? I'm looking to boot from an NVME and it looks like using the fork would be better. Upstream is usually a better choice when the hardware support you need has been merged. For extra hardware, applying patches onto upstream is a decent option because it helps test the patches before they get merged. | 18:09:33 |
| Tristan Ross | Yeah, I made this PR https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-hardware/pull/1296 to make overriding those things easier | 18:10:18 |
| Tristan Ross | After running into a few things which don't like RISC-V or cross compiling (lsd, nix output monitor, Prism Launcher, and lua-language-server), I seem to be making good progress. | 19:04:27 |

After running into a few things which don't like RISC-V or cross compiling (lsd, nix output monitor, Prism Launcher, and lua-language-server), I seem to be making good progress. nix-output-monitor can be compiled if you can provide Nixpkgs a boot GHC | 21:00:11 |
| Tristan Ross | lol, I'm too lazy to go through that effort | 21:00:33 |
| Tristan Ross | I'm just trying to get my config to build for the first time via cross from aarch64 to riscv64 | 21:00:54 |
| Tristan Ross | Also, the VisionFive 2 isn't that powerful so not like I'm going to be doing much on it | 21:01:25 |

| Tristan Ross | Successful build of my config for the VF2, time to try and get it building with COSMIC. | 02:33:37 |
| Tristan Ross | 330 builds | 02:35:29 |
| Tristan Ross | I couldn't get COSMIC but I did get my system to build and boot | 05:52:25 |

NB: this doesn't mean it's bootable. I know, I'll need to pull in the Starfive OpenSBI and u-boot according to the forums. | 14:42:25 |
| Tristan Ross | It's at least progress, when I tried this in the past it wasn't even showing up in lsblk. | 14:43:00 |
| Alex | Probably because the kernel you'd built at the time didn't have the patches needed for PCIe. | 16:15:32 |
| Tristan Ross | Yeah, I'm currently trying to update to the VisionFive2 v5.13.1 software | 16:42:17 |
