highly agree, but no idea how nice
AFAIK, the U74 is equivalent to A55 (correct me if I'm wrong) and haven't used an NVMe on it yet. On my RK3588, I saw a literal 100% improvement in building a defconfig kernel from the NVMe compared to when the source was on the SD Card Not really surprised | 15:57:42 |
 Pratham Patel (you can mention me) | the halving was surprising for me though, I knew it would be better, but didn't know that it would be by this much! | 15:58:11 |
 Steven Keuchel | is that with system or user mode emulation? | 17:08:58 |

I'd not say that RAM is the biggest deal tbf It is necessary for certain packages.
(e.g. the Zig compiler, unless that's now been updated to a less memory-intensive version?) | 17:14:20 |

(e.g. the Zig compiler, unless that's now been updated to a less memory-intensive version?) how much RAM the Zig compiler take in your experience? | 17:17:03 |

| 17:16:32 |
| raitobezarius | just to have a rough idea | 17:17:06 |
| KREYREN ⚡️🦀 (TH1520 in Licheepi 4A) | https://github.com/misuzu/nixos-vf2/blob/master/flake.nix#L3 Is this binary cache usable? | 17:19:33 |
| raitobezarius | it'd be interesting to collect that data tbh | 17:17:10 |
 sorear | i feel like "know who runs it" is the bare minimum security-wise for a binary cache | 17:49:02 |

how much RAM the Zig compiler take in your experience? Last time I tried to build it, it got OoM killed (8 GiB VF2), so I have no idea. | 18:59:11 |
| Alex | IIRC I also tried with a lot of swap (can't remember how much), but it thrashed and still eventually failed. | 19:00:55 |

| Mic92 | How can I bootstrap the riscv64 installer? | 19:22:18 |
| Mic92 | I got this guy here, that needs NixOS: https://github.com/milkv-pioneer/ | 19:22:33 |

For the pioneer: the sg2042-dev vendor kernel is not stable, and the PCIe support is a bit wonky which I would consider as a bigger issue at this point. But hopefully those can be resolved. Ah. do you own the hardware? | 19:24:07 |
| Steven Keuchel | Yes | 19:25:05 |
| Mic92 | What OS did you put on it? | 19:25:55 |
| Steven Keuchel | NixOS :D | 19:26:05 |
| Mic92 | Cool. What do I need? | 19:26:25 |
| Mic92 | I saw it's booting the firmware from the SPI. | 19:26:51 |
| Steven Keuchel | I have started packaging the stuff here

| Steven Keuchel | I have trouble with LinuxBoot though. | 19:28:07 |
| Steven Keuchel | you can cross-compile a basic system first. boot it and then natively compile a proper one | 19:29:11 |
| Mic92 | How did you format and place all those files? Do I just need to put things into fat? | 19:30:15 |
|  S. Reimers joined the room. | 19:31:09 |
| Steven Keuchel | do you want to boot from SPI or SD? | 19:31:45 |
| Mic92 | Either is fine. | 19:31:54 |
| Steven Keuchel | you have to use a newer bootloader than the pre-flashed one | 19:32:22 |
