| Leon | I've been tuned out of this for a long time, but I recall there being some discussions about trying to pool together some native riscv64 builders in the past, did that lead anywhere?
This issue seems to have gone dry some time ago: https://github.com/nix-community/infra/issues/715
Scrolling up Tristan Ross you seem to be doing native riscv64 compiles, is that using actual hardware or QEMU? | 23:04:52 |

| Leon | Oh wow, that's cool. Is that a small SBC or some larger system? Do you have some more details on your setup somewhere? | 23:06:12 |

| Tristan Ross | I'm still trying to get NixOS installed on it, the initrd can't find my NVME | 23:06:49 |
| Leon | Gotcha. Yeah, I have one of those, 2 BeagleV Ahead, a couple smaller Milk-V targets and just got the Framework RISC-V Mainboard. So it's not much, but was wondering whether I can throw these boards into a corner in my Uni's lab and have them do something more useful than collect dust until I or someone else finds out how to get NixOS running on the Framework mainboard haha | 23:08:31 |
| Tristan Ross | Yeah, most systems use the JH7110 which isn't that powerful lol | 23:08:54 |
| Leon | Right right. | 23:09:01 |
| Tristan Ross | There's the newer P550 but the price | 23:09:04 |
| Leon | FWIW, I'm running the pre-built Fedora 41 image on the Framework mainboard right now, and running GNOME + Firefox, listening to music, etc. is somewhat usable. Definitely better than what I remember from my VF2 | 23:10:41 |
| Leon | (I don't know how much frequency scaling this thing does, could thermals have an impact?) | 23:11:08 |
