 Tristan Ross | Ah yeah, then it might be the same problem I had with Ubuntu on the DC ROMA II | 21:43:08 |
 JamieMagee | Okay, I'll try set that and see if it works | 21:44:04 |
| JamieMagee | Yep! It's getting farther. Thank you 😁 | 21:54:11 |
| Tristan Ross | Heh you're welcome. Good thing I documented this on my blog

| JamieMagee | Is the longterm fix to rebuild the riscv64 bootstrap tools with -fPIE -pie ? | 21:59:50 |
| Tristan Ross | Well, it should be building with pie. I haven't looked into fixing it but it's certainly a problem that should be fixed. | 22:00:29 |
| JamieMagee | I looked into it, and we currently pass --enable-default-pie so code compiled by gcc comes out PIE. But we are missing --enable-host-pie which changes how gcc itself is linked.

 dramforever | yes the k3 based boards that have come out at "end of april" is uh, very much selling like hotcakes | 13:07:14 |

 fgaz | looks at store page
That's an expensive hotcake | 12:03:28 |
| dramforever | i wonder how much of it is because it has ram in it | 13:06:12 |
| colemickens | I canceled my sipeed order for arcane, and now they're emailing me warning me about tariffs. Ugggg | 13:53:11 |

| colemickens | What's the hope/expectations for bootable media for these K3 boards in a few weeks? | 17:53:37 |
| colemickens | I guess for a minimal ISO, cross-compile should be ... hopefully achievable? | 17:53:57 |
 Alex | Yes, NixOS cross is known to work. The biggest question will be how to configure the kernel and bootloader. | 18:37:08 |
| Tristan Ross | I've got a DC ROMA III on the way, I plan on getting NixOS fully booted on this. | 21:35:20 |

 liberodark | Hi,
I got a K3 to install Nixos on, if everything goes well.
It will be available for compiling apps.
I could send you my iso if needed.
Best Regards | 13:05:48 |

| colemickens | Yeah, mostly curious if there's a rallying point for:
- bootloader/firmware config
- iso configuration + pre-cached builds (though not important if cross-compilable)
| 19:00:42 |
| colemickens | I'm not even sure if there's SPI for (u-boot?) or if that has to go on sdcard, etc. | 19:01:02 |
