Zhaofeng Li: looks like someone started working on some level of support for the VisifonFive in Tow-Boot, if it matters for you
I have my hands on one of the visionfive boards. I'm just starting to look into it, but has anyone successfully put nixos on it yet? | 22:44:02 |
| justinrestivo | oops, that's what that PR is about. | 22:44:24 |

I have my hands on one of the visionfive boards. I'm just starting to look into it, but has anyone successfully put nixos on it yet? There are SD images from February here: https://github.com/zhaofengli/nixos-riscv64/releases/tag/2022022600 | 22:46:36 |
| justinrestivo | awesome! | 22:47:10 |
| justinrestivo | wow, there's even a binary cache | 22:47:34 |
| Zhaofeng Li | Most of the changes are already upstream in nixpkgs (https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/101651), and some other people are working on taking the rest upstream | 22:47:43 |
| justinrestivo | (also massive thanks to matthewcroughan - nix.how for getting me a board!) Super excited to play around with nix on riscv | 22:53:41 |

| matthewcroughan - nix.how | That means Tomberek will have gotten his maybe.. | 22:54:33 |

| tomberek | speaking of which.... what's the best approach at the moment? get Nix on a native OS? NixOS? anyone got a wiki going? | 01:41:07 |

| matthewcroughan - nix.how | You're part of the effort now :D | 01:47:11 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.how | https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/168826 is about as close as we have to a working sdImage as far as I can tell. When I get mine I'll play around | 01:47:56 |
| tomberek | I think a dedicated wiki would help. | 01:49:13 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.how | That's one thing i intend to accomplish when I get the board. | 01:50:12 |

I think a dedicated wiki would help. As in, a page on the nixos wiki? Or a separately hosted site? | 07:21:05 |

| Julio Sueiras | both fedora(the factory image that came with the microsd) and nixos image result in the same thing | 01:53:48 |
| Julio Sueiras | will probably need to get a UART to USB tomorrow to get the serial boot output | 01:55:00 |
| justinrestivo | In reply to @juliosueiras:matrix.org
sent an image. I didn't even get output | 11:23:57 |
