Didn't realize that More precisely, G is shorthand for IMAFD_Zicsr_Zifencei. | 18:21:37 |
 Tristan Ross | Oh, I know zicsr and zifencei | 18:35:38 |

 Mic92 | We are just one pull request away from having our first image for nixos-anywhere: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/321991 | 13:27:36 |
| Mic92 | However I currently don't have hardware that I can kexec on, so I would appreciate if someone could run a test of it. | 13:28:08 |
| Mic92 | Image itself will be here: https://github.com/nix-community/nixos-images/pull/243 | 13:28:19 |
| Pratham Patel | Oh wow, didn't know we came this far! | 13:29:14 |
| Mic92 | nix-community.cachix.org will than also cache some core-components for cross compiling NixOS from x86 to riscv64. | 13:29:20 |
| Pratham Patel | *we've come | 13:29:20 |
 [0x4A6F] | Currently not near my devices. But it is build and I will check soonish. | 14:04:18 |

nix-community.cachix.org will than also cache some core-components for cross compiling NixOS from x86 to riscv64. What about cross compiling from aarch64 to riscv64? | 04:20:53 |
 @cnx:loang.net | why x86 and aarch64 when amd64 chips with good single thread perf are much more common? | 09:34:12 |

why x86 and aarch64 when amd64 chips with good single thread perf are much more common? I'm pretty sure amd64 is what Mic was referring to when they said "x86". | 10:48:28 |
| Alex | It's quite a common way of referring to the whole family of x86_64 ISAs. | 10:49:39 |

We are just one pull request away from having our first image for nixos-anywhere: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/321991 just tried building an iso from an x86 machine and was reminded of https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/231537 | 13:19:29 |
| Pratham Patel | any idea on the blockers on this? maybe I could help? | 13:19:44 |
| Pratham Patel | on rev: 4c547b66635455ad061d4beecaf1805810dc0428 | 13:20:24 |
| Mic92 | Pratham Patel (you can mention me): do you have any VM or hardware that has a kernel with kexec enabled? | 13:20:29 |
| Pratham Patel | I'm on an x86 machine, the VF2 is "away" for the time being | 13:20:58 |
| Mic92 | We don't build isos in this pull request yet. | 13:21:02 |
| Mic92 | In reply to @thefossguy:matrix.org
I'm on an x86 machine, the VF2 is "away" for the time being Ok. I have x86. I can potentially spin up some scaleway riscv64 machine. | 13:21:39 |
| Pratham Patel | I realize that. What I'm asking is if you had a list of blockers for bootstrapping riscv64 GHC on x86 | 13:21:40 |
| Mic92 | Not sure when I get to it. | 13:21:43 |
| Alex | If you're not building any Haskell packages on purpose, you should try disabling ShellCheck (by default, it is used to check all shell scripts). | 13:21:46 |
| Mic92 | In reply to @thefossguy:matrix.org
I realize that. What I'm asking is if you had a list of blockers for bootstrapping riscv64 GHC on x86 Ah. There it's basically ghc not publishing bootstrap binaries afaik. | 13:22:10 |
| Mic92 | Yes. Disabling shellcheck is the way to go. | 13:22:31 |
| Alex | In reply to @thefossguy:matrix.org
I realize that. What I'm asking is if you had a list of blockers for bootstrapping riscv64 GHC on x86 Nixpkgs generally relies on upstream bindists, but there are a few (as-of-yet unmerged?) PRs to also make it possible to bootstrap via cross. | 13:22:33 |
