 dramforever | stdenv.cc is the toolchain | 13:01:19 |
| dramforever | but otherwise yeah pkgsCross.riscv32.mkShell should get you what you want | 13:03:23 |
| zoë (she/her) | yeah idk what i did, i was just confused | 13:03:49 |
| zoë (she/her) | my actual code was more complicated than just an empty mkShell, but working my way back up to it rather than trying to force the existing code into cross-compilation worked better | 13:05:02 |

 Alex | cc is never a cross compiler in Nixpkgs. That cc probably comes from pkgsBuildBuild and exists so that builds can compile build tools that they can then use later in the build.
Yes, anything that hardcodes cc (or worse gcc) needs to be patched to support cross. | 13:09:08 |

Looks like the visionfive2_fw_payload.img should be flashed to /dev/mtd2 instead of /dev/mtd1

| erremilia | This should be fun to play with | 19:37:02 |
 tau | oooh nice | 19:38:17 |
| tau | same chip as starfive v2 iirc so it should be somewhat easy to use | 19:38:37 |
| erremilia | Sounds good! Me and my SO mostly got it to play with and just see some Risc-V stuff but it'd be awesome if it turns out to be useful. | 19:39:52 |
 raitobezarius | let us know how it goes | 19:40:12 |
| raitobezarius | I ragequit my riscv stuff currently because I will go in vacations soon and had higher priority, but still interested into getting in a place where we can start having remote builders all together | 19:40:34 |

 fgaz | In reply to @erremilia:matrix.org
sent an image. Nice, the number of star64+nixos users just doubled! | 07:12:19 |
| fgaz | By late next month we'll be over a billion | 07:12:51 |
| fgaz | erremilia: I have a native NixOS image here https://sr.ht/~fgaz/nixos-star64/ | 07:13:29 |
| 30 Aug 2023 |
| erremilia | Could you compile a 8GB image for me? I haven't been able to get it to compile properly and on your 4GB image it never seems to connect to the internet or anything and haven't had the time to try and hook it up to serial. | 03:13:48 |
| fgaz | erremilia: sure. I'm actually updating the image right now, so I think it'll be ready tomorrow or the day after | 13:52:39 |
