 Mel | hi waff miau!! | 16:58:05 |
| Mel | has anyone managed to get a mainline kernel nix build through to working on a th1520 ?? best i can do is only 5.10 with patches so far | 17:03:16 |
| Mel | generally finding the t-head chips soo much harder to work with than the starfive jh stuff meow | 17:04:17 |
 Alex | Can you characterise what's wrong with the newer versions? | 17:12:56 |
 misuzu | I've finally moved my attic instance to my unused minisforum minipc with 64g ram and 4tb ssd and set up a hydra instance which builds for riscv64 (native and cross) | 21:08:27 |

| Dennis | Hi!
Is there a "standard" way to get a complete cross-compilation toolchain for riscv64-unknown-linux-gnu? Some pkgs.* that I can put into environment.systemPackages and get the basic tools I'll probably need? (From Gentoo I'm used to sys-devel/crossdev that would install these tools for me. But maybe the approach would be different on NixOS?) | 20:51:27 |

Hi!
Is there a "standard" way to get a complete cross-compilation toolchain for riscv64-unknown-linux-gnu? Some pkgs.* that I can put into environment.systemPackages and get the basic tools I'll probably need? (From Gentoo I'm used to sys-devel/crossdev that would install these tools for me. But maybe the approach would be different on NixOS?) pkgsCross.riscv64.buildPlatform.stdenv sounds like what you're looking for. | 20:52:29 |
| Alex | * pkgsCross.riscv64.buildPackages.stdenv sounds like what you're looking for. | 20:52:42 |
| Alex | (FYI: I mistyped buildPlatform instead of buildPackages) | 20:53:38 |
| Dennis | Can I get a list of these pkgsCross? I saw that mentioned elsewhere (for a specific binary), but could find it on https://search.nixos.org/packages, and I am still regularly struggling to find anything in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/. | 20:56:27 |
| Alex | The easiest way of exploring them is probably to use the Nix REPL.
Run nix repl '<nixpkgs>' then type pkgsCross and press tab. | 20:57:53 |
| Alex | Btw you probably shouldn't be installing dev tools in environment.systemPackages.
It's generally preferred to write a project-specific shell.nix file (or use nix-shell without one, e.g. nix-shell -p pkgsCross.riscv64.buildPackages.stdenv). | 21:00:11 |
| Dennis | Thanks! I'll try that. I am still very new to using Nix/NixOS for anything other than managing my physical system... | 21:47:40 |

 Tristan Ross | 17 derivations to go until NixOS native RISC-V. | 04:30:29 |
| Tristan Ross | It's done. After a month, I have NixOS built natively for RISC-V. | 20:40:10 |

Can you characterise what's wrong with the newer versions? oh sry i didnt see anyone replied ^^; i was just looking for resources if someone had actually done it, maybe i missed something meow .. | 01:01:20 |
| Mel | ill get back to the th chips later maybe ill have some specific problems again, right now im back to the starfives lol :3 | 01:01:58 |
