sorear: https://www.theregister.com/2024/04/09/sifive_riscv_hifive/ will be interesting to see how this plays out with their documentation commitment, the GPU, and where they are going to position themselves (price, features, volume) relative to other SBC manufacturers. doesn't seem very specific to (a) me (b) nixos though | 04:07:37 |
 Pratham Patel (you can mention me) | pinged you by mistake, the person I wanted to mention isn't in this room | 04:08:40 |
| Pratham Patel (you can mention me) | but relevant to nixos since it's a good machine to have until Oasis launches with 128GB of DRAM | 04:09:05 |
| Pratham Patel (you can mention me) | Instead of boards with recent T-Head cores | 04:10:02 |
| sorear | if you believe their claims about shipping dates, which I firmly don't | 04:10:06 |
| Pratham Patel (you can mention me) | I don't believe it until it's in my hands | 04:10:30 |
| Pratham Patel (you can mention me) | but it's a good estimate :) | 04:10:36 |
| sorear | not that I mind shaking out reproducibility issues and finding bugs in (both!) cores by building things using both p550 and c920v2 | 04:10:55 |
| Pratham Patel (you can mention me) | :) | 04:11:10 |
| sorear | having andrew on the team is likely to result in fewer cases of "blatantly misunderstood the spec" but there's still a ton that can go wrong | 04:11:43 |
| sorear | actually that probably doesn't help because they're probably big enough that the silicon teams don't talk to the ISA experts | 04:12:28 |
| Pratham Patel (you can mention me) | we'll see the real deal when upstreaming starts and they need to disclose the erratas | 04:12:58 |

misuzu: is there any reason why you are using the vendor kernel? AFAIK, everything but PCIe (for a headless build box) has been merged upstream. Or did I just answer myself with "PCIe isn't yet in upstream?" Unless it's been integrated in the past week, mainline also appears to be missing the PLL0 patch needed for running the CPU at 1.5 GHz instead of 1 GHz. | 08:23:01 |

is pcie required for nvme? I'd be very surprised if it isn't. | 08:25:00 |
| Pratham Patel (you can mention me) | In reply to @cnx:loang.net
is pcie required for nvme? NVMe is over PCIe, so yes | 08:25:31 |

A v4 was sent today morning A v5 will happen but that should be the final one.

 Dr. Worm | was trying to compile zeromq so i could confirm the build failure on master but libuv has literally been taking 4 days to build | 21:20:40 |
| Dr. Worm | i have no idea why it's taking so long, it's hever taken me that long to build before | 21:20:55 |
| Dr. Worm | begining to think it's a lost cause at this point | 21:21:09 |
| Dr. Worm | what's perplexing to me, is that the build phase took less than a day, and the check phase was taking almost 5 days before i cancelled it | 23:45:37 |
| Dr. Worm | * what's perplexing to me, is that the build phase took less than a day, and the check phase was taking almost 4 days before i cancelled it | 23:45:52 |
| Dr. Worm | ok i ran the build again, and this time the build failed after 20 minutes, so clearly the first time was a weird fluke | 23:56:51 |

 silvanshade | I created a nix flake with overlays for gcc and clang with xtheadvector support. Maybe interesting for some people to experiment with. https://github.com/milkv-community/nixpkgs-xthead-toolchains | 12:02:29 |
