 dramforever | there's no way to know whether the build would work without trying though | 05:08:10 |
| dramforever | there's community effort to try and fix the broken ones but there's no formal support of any kind so thing can and do just break randomly | 05:09:43 |

 misuzu | Has anyone tried 6.11 kernel on vf2? | 16:12:01 |
 Nick Cao | I did, unable to get USB booting to work, but USB works fine after booting from sdcard. | 16:16:19 |
| misuzu | I had not issues booting it, but some programs just crash, htop for example. Does it work for you? | 16:17:43 |
| Nick Cao | I will double check later. | 16:20:21 |

I had not issues booting it, but some programs just crash, htop for example. Does it work for you? Same issue, htop segfaults immediately. | 18:07:27 |
| misuzu | It's not just htop crashing, it can't even build bootstrap-tools package (6.11-rc6 too): https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-hardware/pull/964#issuecomment-2265805526
The same exact system with https://github.com/starfive-tech/linux/tree/JH7110_VisionFive2_upstream has no such issues | 18:11:32 |
 Alex | I've seen some crashing on Linux 6.6, but not when building essential packages.
Perhaps this is a regression like the 6.5 regression that primarily affected the Rust ecosystem? | 18:29:45 |

| Alex | PLL0 fix finally upstreamed? Nice.
The only major thing missing for mainline to be usable is PCIe, right? | 17:55:47 |

| Alex | Oh PCIe is in 6.11, which isn't stable yet.
https://rvspace.org/en/project/JH7110_Upstream_Plan | 17:58:44 |
 [0x4A6F] | Yeah, rc7 is the minimum nowadays. rc6 was bad. | 17:58:52 |

Oh PCIe is in 6.11, which isn't stable yet.
https://rvspace.org/en/project/JH7110_Upstream_Plan It is, as of the email linked above.
I was looking at kernel.org, which is a bit out-of-date. | 18:01:32 |

| Alex | So I guess that once 6.11 reaches NixOS unstable there will be no more reason to run StarFive's fork (at least for headless setups). | 18:03:15 |

| Alex | Support for cross-compiling GHC has been merged into Nixpkgs, so it is now possible to boot RISC-V GHC by cross-compiling from a supported platform.
fgaz this might have broken your ShellCheck fix, because GHC now claims that it supports all platforms even though it cannot be evaluated on exotic platforms unless a boot compiler is provided.
Next step: adding boot GHC binaries for RISC-V (and maybe some other platforms) to remove the need to cross-compile; these binaries can now be built entirely from Nixpkgs and upstream binaries. | 13:10:27 |
 fgaz | nice! | 13:11:18 |
| fgaz | can we host those binaries autonomously somehow? like the bootstrap files | 13:12:18 |
