 erremilia | This should be fun to play with | 19:37:02 |
 tauphi | oooh nice | 19:38:17 |
| tauphi | 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 |

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 |
| fgaz | what do you mean by "manually" and "instead of doing it like that"? | 14:31:28 |
| fgaz | * what do you mean by "manually" and "like that"? "like that" = https://sr.ht/~fgaz/nixos-star64/#flashing? | 14:32:42 |
| fgaz | * what do you mean by "manually" and "like that"? "like that" = https://sr.ht/~fgaz/nixos-star64/#flashing? does fdisk -l /dev/your_sd_card show the partition table? | 14:38:40 |
| erremilia | I had the DIP switches set upside-down, it works now. Thank you! | 14:39:36 |
| fgaz | yeah the switches are upside down, I should probably write a note about that in the readme... | 14:44:31 |
| fgaz | * yeah the switches' labels are upside down, I should probably write a note about that in the readme... | 14:49:25 |

Nice, the number of star64+nixos users just doubled! I bet there are dozens of us. | 18:07:25 |
| Marcus | some form of gpu support would be neat, looks tricky tho. | 18:09:10 |
| Marcus | Seems like the yocto images have something going. | 18:09:54 |
| fgaz | Yeah apparently it needs mesa patches or something | 18:10:10 |
| fgaz | Also the driver is super broken, I'm not even sure how fishwaldo managed to compile it in yocto | 18:11:00 |
| Marcus | open cpu coupled by a very proprietary gpu? 🙂 | 18:11:31 |
| fgaz | They actually promised to release open drivers, but they're taking a while... | 18:12:06 |
| fgaz | Personally I'm fine with waiting until gpu drivers are mainlined, but if you manage to make it work patches are welcome | 18:12:43 |
| Marcus | I only got this thing to play anyways, was very confused at first boot, but once I made a serial bridge it became easier. | 18:13:38 |
