it's hard to exhaustively test anything of that size, especially when the specs themselves are nondeterministic (memory ordering, counters) or just plain ambiguous Yes, that's very fair. I'd expect some amount of testing to be possible by exploiting a deep understanding of the processor design, but that's by no means simple. | 14:39:43 |
 sorear | the interesting bugs all happen because somebody miscommunicated or misunderstood the requirements | 14:40:34 |
 Pratham Patel (you can mention me) | one thing I--as a software guy and a negative XP in hardware--understand is, at that point, you're not just verifying the RISC-V ISA but also the microarchitecture :) | 14:40:47 |
| * Pratham Patel (you can mention me) is afk for dinner | 14:40:54 |
| sorear | the ISA is what it is. it can be stupid or contradictory but not wrong, because there's nothing for it to be wrong against | 14:41:37 |

If you really want some decent remote desktop experience, I would recommend wayvnc (or others), rather than this poorly packaged xrdp. I tried to install wayvnc, it fails with modemmanager build failing to find python. For now I’ve built image w/o VNC, I’ll try to build VNC on board. | 19:06:12 |

 fgaz | Scaleway now hosts RV servers based on the TH1520 https://labs.scaleway.com/en/em-rv1/ | 13:16:48 |
| fgaz | Maybe this is enough for some temporary nix-community builders? | 13:17:17 |

| Pratham Patel (you can mention me) | One more thing, as per Sipeed, it is likely that the SG2380 (the 16 core chip) might be ready in this year.
https://x.com/sipeedio/status/1763391901049463103 | 13:59:47 |
| Pratham Patel (you can mention me) | Not sure how much I believe it, considering that the initial spec has been modified (in a good way) which is likely to cause delays in things like verification and manufacturing. | 14:00:30 |
| Pratham Patel (you can mention me) | Could be a marketing "stunt" (I don't think so and i hope not) but Milk-V Oasis (the first product announced to have been using the SG2380) was planned to launch in Q4 of 2024. | 14:01:59 |
| Pratham Patel (you can mention me) | But that announcement about Oasis was before the silicon was modified for improvements | 14:02:16 |
| Pratham Patel (you can mention me) | So I'm not really sure | 14:02:20 |
| Pratham Patel (you can mention me) | Hoping it happens sooner, but I'd be happy with a few months of delay for an errata free product, hell even pay a few hundred USD more for not wasting hundreds of USDs for a buggy product | 14:03:14 |

| Pratham Patel (you can mention me) | This video shows the board running without any heatsink. Maybe I'm okay with "1.3x faster than ARM Cortex A55" performance...

 Steven Keuchel | so also first board with some cypto extension!? | 17:36:39 |
| Steven Keuchel | "Supports algorithms like AES, SHA, RSA, SM2, SM3, SM4,etc." | 17:38:17 |
| Alex | In reply to @skeuchel:matrix.org
so also first board with some cypto extension!? The lack of a complete list of supported extensions makes me doubt that it's any of the recently ratified cryptography extensions (is it called RVK?). It could be a custom extension, or just marketing nonsense because all of those can be implemented in software. | 17:50:49 |
| Alex | Apparently the latest RVK spec does not mention SM2 support... How suspicious. | 17:52:15 |
| Steven Keuchel | a lot of them were ratified at the same time as RVV | 17:53:52 |
