It is necessary for certain packages.
(e.g. the Zig compiler, unless that's now been updated to a less memory-intensive version?) how much RAM the Zig compiler take in your experience? | 17:17:03 |

| 17:16:32 |
| raitobezarius | just to have a rough idea | 17:17:06 |
| KREYREN ⚡️🦀 (TH1520 in Licheepi 4A) | https://github.com/misuzu/nixos-vf2/blob/master/flake.nix#L3 Is this binary cache usable? | 17:19:33 |
| raitobezarius | it'd be interesting to collect that data tbh | 17:17:10 |
 sorear | i feel like "know who runs it" is the bare minimum security-wise for a binary cache | 17:49:02 |

how much RAM the Zig compiler take in your experience? Last time I tried to build it, it got OoM killed (8 GiB VF2), so I have no idea. | 18:59:11 |
| Alex | IIRC I also tried with a lot of swap (can't remember how much), but it thrashed and still eventually failed. | 19:00:55 |

| Mic92 | How can I bootstrap the riscv64 installer? | 19:22:18 |
| Mic92 | I got this guy here, that needs NixOS: https://github.com/milkv-pioneer/ | 19:22:33 |

For the pioneer: the sg2042-dev vendor kernel is not stable, and the PCIe support is a bit wonky which I would consider as a bigger issue at this point. But hopefully those can be resolved. Ah. do you own the hardware? | 19:24:07 |
 Steven Keuchel | Yes | 19:25:05 |
| Mic92 | What OS did you put on it? | 19:25:55 |
| Steven Keuchel | NixOS :D | 19:26:05 |
| Mic92 | Cool. What do I need? | 19:26:25 |
| Mic92 | I saw it's booting the firmware from the SPI. | 19:26:51 |
| Steven Keuchel | I have started packaging the stuff here

| Steven Keuchel | I have trouble with LinuxBoot though. | 19:28:07 |
| Steven Keuchel | you can cross-compile a basic system first. boot it and then natively compile a proper one | 19:29:11 |
| Mic92 | How did you format and place all those files? Do I just need to put things into fat? | 19:30:15 |
|  S. Reimers joined the room. | 19:31:09 |
| Steven Keuchel | do you want to boot from SPI or SD? | 19:31:45 |
| Mic92 | Either is fine. | 19:31:54 |
| Steven Keuchel | you have to use a newer bootloader than the pre-flashed one | 19:32:22 |
| Steven Keuchel | so to boot from SPI you would have to flash from an existing image first | 19:32:37 |
| Mic92 | S. Reimers: order some sdcard :) | 19:32:53 |
| S. Reimers | I think we have one (: | 19:33:16 |
| Steven Keuchel | best grab the bootloader from https://github.com/sophgo/bootloader-riscv/actions | 19:33:17 |
