 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 |
| fgaz | erremilia: the 4GB image should run on 8GB though. make sure you set the dip switches on the right position. both up (= flash) works both for uSD and eMMC with factory firmware. not sure about nvme | 14:27:20 |
 erremilia | I manually flashed the sd card instead of doing it like that assuming it'd work | 14:28:32 |
| fgaz | what do you mean by "manually" and "instead of doing it like that"? | 14:31:28 |
| fgaz | * what do you mean by "manually" and "like that"? "like that" = https://sr.ht/~fgaz/nixos-star64/#flashing? | 14:32:42 |
| fgaz | * what do you mean by "manually" and "like that"? "like that" = https://sr.ht/~fgaz/nixos-star64/#flashing? does fdisk -l /dev/your_sd_card show the partition table? | 14:38:40 |
| erremilia | I had the DIP switches set upside-down, it works now. Thank you! | 14:39:36 |
| fgaz | yeah the switches are upside down, I should probably write a note about that in the readme... | 14:44:31 |
| fgaz | * yeah the switches' labels are upside down, I should probably write a note about that in the readme... | 14:49:25 |

Nice, the number of star64+nixos users just doubled! I bet there are dozens of us. | 18:07:25 |
| Marcus | some form of gpu support would be neat, looks tricky tho. | 18:09:10 |
| Marcus | Seems like the yocto images have something going. | 18:09:54 |
| fgaz | Yeah apparently it needs mesa patches or something | 18:10:10 |
| fgaz | Also the driver is super broken, I'm not even sure how fishwaldo managed to compile it in yocto | 18:11:00 |
| Marcus | open cpu coupled by a very proprietary gpu? 🙂 | 18:11:31 |
| fgaz | They actually promised to release open drivers, but they're taking a while... | 18:12:06 |
| fgaz | Personally I'm fine with waiting until gpu drivers are mainlined, but if you manage to make it work patches are welcome | 18:12:43 |
| Marcus | I only got this thing to play anyways, was very confused at first boot, but once I made a serial bridge it became easier. | 18:13:38 |
| Marcus | fgaz: Are you running nixos rebuild on the thing, or do you just shut down and update the sdcard when you want to change the config? | 18:19:08 |

fgaz: Are you running nixos rebuild on the thing, or do you just shut down and update the sdcard when you want to change the config? I run nixos rebuild | 18:20:51 |
| Marcus | cool. 🙂 Guess I should steal from your repo to incorporate it into my nix-config | 18:23:06 |

erremilia: I have a native NixOS image here https://sr.ht/~fgaz/nixos-star64/ The next release of this image is going to make nixos-rebuild easier. I'll include a bunch of build dependencies so there's less chance of having to rebuild | 18:23:45 |
| Marcus | mkay. sounds good, I'll wait for that before making a move 🙂 | 18:24:28 |
| Marcus | meanwhile I guess I should make some sort of case. Couldn't find any stls that fit, but maybe plywood and plexiglass and a saw will do the job. | 18:25:28 |
| fgaz | * The next release of this image is going to make nixos-rebuild easier. I'll include a bunch of build dependencies so there's less chance of having to rebuild the bigger stuff like llvm and rustc | 18:25:37 |
| fgaz | I'd like to build (3d print?) a vertical stand someday. In that position the heatsink I installed works way better | 18:26:36 |
| Marcus | it runs pretty hot idle 🔥 | 18:26:40 |
| fgaz | yeah without heatsink mine run at ~75° under load | 18:27:22 |
