 grw00 | hm interesting. do they provide sdk with vendor kernel that knows how to use these cores? | 17:24:19 |
 implr | the long term path should be mainline anyway | 18:01:19 |
| implr | if these actually ship widely and are the first proper rva23 devices, there might be enough momentum to fix all of that upstream | 18:01:49 |
| grw00 | yeah agree, was curious if theyre shipping it non-functional | 18:03:29 |

| liberodark | Hi, after K1 now K3 have finish put nixos 26.05 on it. | 19:46:55 |

| grw00 | DVFS? | 20:29:18 |
| grw00 | (nice!) | 20:29:25 |
| liberodark | Next is to finish my hydra infra for give public cache for stable nixpkgs. | 20:38:39 |
| liberodark | Yep i need to work on DVFS but I still have quite a few things to do before that point. | 20:40:09 |
 radex | do you have your nix files for this posted anywhere yet? would love to replicate it | 20:40:30 |
| liberodark | Yes, it's planned. I did it for K1, but K3 was my main goal, but my board took a really long time to arrive... I'll give you the details as soon as I'm less in the alpha stage.
| 20:42:17 |
| radex | thanks. I'll be happy to follow along without a binary cache, I can borrow a few hundred cores to build the world | 20:44:49 |
| liberodark | I already offer several caches for arm x86_64, it seems normal to do the same for riscv, but in addition it allows me to work on hydra, I've wanted to set it up for a while. | 20:46:54 |
| grw00 | btw meant to ask if anyone has done nixos kvm project | 20:47:17 |

| grw00 | these 'nanokvm' devices are quite cheap and handy and seem to be happy running mainline, so i can build images with nix instead of stinky vendor toolchain | 20:48:12 |
| liberodark | PS : I would like to clarify that I have chosen to be 100% UEFI on my end; I think it's more future-proof. | 20:48:14 |
| grw00 | i had codex write patches until it worked, didn't dare try flashing to my 'real' nanokvm device yet but seems to work fine on the smaller modules which i expect are wired the same https://github.com/georgewhewell/nixos-nanokvm/ | 20:49:18 |
| grw00 | i wrapped their webui too so i can re-use via this flake, works same using usb gadget and hdmi rx on my arm64 board too | 20:51:06 |
 colemickens | Wait you're doing nanokvm stuff 👀 | 20:51:13 |
| colemickens | Whoa, that's what I want the k3 for, to build a (Nix-based OS) for the NanoKVM | 20:51:38 |
| grw00 | i bought a couple and couldnt be bothered to figure out their weird os ya lol | 20:51:48 |
 Tristan Ross | lol, the nanokvm has a Sophgo chip which has import restrictions in the US. | 20:51:58 |
| grw00 | nice :D | 20:52:06 |
| grw00 | i saw them for 5/$15, crazy | 20:52:30 |
| grw00 | cheaper than esp32 etc almost | 20:52:45 |
| grw00 | curious what is the reason for import restriction? because they ripped off others IP without paying? would explain how they are so cheap | 20:53:43 |
| Tristan Ross | Because they gave Huawei a shuttle of 7nm Qualcomm chips | 20:54:24 |
