 colemickens | So who has or is getting a Jupiter 2? 👀 | 21:49:08 |
| colemickens | maybe the k3 devices are all roughly the same to get booting? maybe there's some DT differences between the two form factors? | 21:49:44 |
| colemickens | oh hi I recognize this username https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-hardware/pull/1898 | 21:50:16 |
| colemickens | curious: why do you have/need your own uboot repo? And did you look at building edk2 from source or not worth it? also, why is there both u-boot (besides fsbl), and edk2? I guess that has to do with what "esos" means? 🤔 cc: liberodark | 21:54:30 |

As of this writing (12 June 2026), we have some meaningful improvements on RVA23 hardware that is available today. Details of Fedora build benchmarks here: Fedora build benchmarks on SpacemiT K3 (RVA23 hardware). That said, even this is not quite enough for inclusion to main Koji, we will need another generational leap in hardware.

| hexa | is the relevant information imo | 23:06:59 |

| dramforever | every time i look at this i think "okay i really need to know how much speedup -march=rva23u64 gives", and then i look at the price, and then i see "out of stock"... | 04:28:56 |

| dramforever | relatedly, i heard the milkv titan finally shipped? | 09:20:10 |

 liberodark | Hi,
Oh, thanks for taking an interest in my work!
-
why do you have/need your own uboot repo?
For several reasons, but mainly because I made a boot patch. Also, their repo is hard to clone from Gitee. PS: their GitHub repos aren't identical to it.
-
And did you look at building edk2 from source or not worth it?
Yes, I tackled the upstream first since that's my goal, but it's not all perfect yet.
-
why is there both u-boot (besides fsbl), and edk2?
Because I wanted to leave the choice to the user and stay hybrid, but the final choice remains the user's, even though on my side I went with UEFI. But both are supported.
Best Regards

| liberodark | PS: Just to clarify a few points.
I already discussed this with another reviewer, but in short, my goal really is to upstream the K3 as much as possible. It's going well so far, but there are still a few things to sort out. I expect those will end up as patches until an upstream solution is available. | 07:57:46 |
| liberodark | My next goal is to finish integrating the new K3 boards, and now that I have the cache + Hydra, the next step will be upstream. | 08:07:18 |
| dramforever | hi, what does edk2 on k3 provide over uefi? afaik uboot also does uefi? | 08:19:26 |
| dramforever | does edk2 on k3 have hdmi output? | 08:19:39 |
| dramforever | * | 08:20:12 |
| dramforever | sorry i meant "over u-boot", correctes | 08:20:21 |
| dramforever | * | 08:22:17 |
| liberodark | Hi,
I prefer EDK2 for complet UEFI support.
This is also the choice of spacemit.
But for HDMI I'm not sure.
I think it's fine. But I don't want to say something wrong; normally for the K1 and K3 I had everything working. I just don't want to mix things up with the K1, so I'd rather double-check and confirm. I'm waiting for my new K3 to validate this for you
Best Regards | 08:27:07 |
| dramforever | well, i guess i think u-boot is pretty good and gives me better poking around capabilities. differing priorities i guess | 08:36:40 |
| liberodark | I'm not saying it's bad. ^^ | 08:38:30 |
