 Alyssa Ross | Not sure if this will interest anybody but me, but I figured out why pkgsStatic Rust builds don't work on riscv64 :) https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/406797 | 17:10:47 |

| Alyssa Ross | Is the VisionFive2 the RISC-V computer to get, or is there anything out there with more RAM? | 08:23:10 |

Is the VisionFive2 the RISC-V computer to get, or is there anything out there with more RAM? there's the milk-v pioneer, but it's pricey. alternatively, EIC7700X boards (milk-v megrez, pine64 starpro64) go up to 32G but they are all out of stock | 08:35:56 |
 Steven Keuchel | The p550 cores (e.g. EIC7700X) are currently the fastest commercially available ones. | 08:41:07 |
| Steven Keuchel | Much better experience than the VF2. | 08:41:23 |
| fgaz | and apparently spacemit m1 based stuff also goes up to 16G but it isn't faster than vf2 despite the higher core count | 08:41:45 |
| Steven Keuchel | Pioneer has more cores, but the cores themselves are slower. | 08:41:47 |
| Alyssa Ross | Pioneer seems unavailable anyway | 08:48:23 |

| Steven Keuchel | No mainline support yet. Vendor kernel needs some custom CONFIG values to compile on Nixos. | 08:57:23 |
| Alyssa Ross | yikes | 08:57:39 |
| Steven Keuchel | At least the vendor uboot has distro boot enabled by default. | 08:57:57 |
| Alyssa Ross | maybe visionfive is the way to go then | 08:58:04 |
