 Linux Hackerman is moving: @linus:schreibt.jetzt | joepie91 🏳️🌈: nope, it's not in your matrix profile! | 22:00:43 |
 ckie (they/them) | you go to your browser and type joepie91, then you press enter | 22:01:01 |
 joepie91 🏳️🌈 | if you google my nickname, like half of the first page is my real name :p | 22:01:03 |
 ius | Then again, I don't Google myself and three letter nicks are tricky to lookup anyway | 22:01:05 |

if you google my nickname, like half of the first page is my real name :p that's true | 22:01:13 |
| ius | Re: VisionFive, the 'ncnn' project is interesting | 22:03:25 |
| ius | The board has some (2?) machine learning related core-things, got me excited about seeing what that can be used for | 22:04:40 |
| ius | But Googling 'nvdla' gets me this: https://github.com/nvdla/sw
Which looks abandoned | 22:05:09 |

 colemickens | so, my visionfive board arrived, and I figured I'd use the microsd they sent and then I start to open and notice this: https://photos.app.goo.gl/5TnSws4szCYktRm99 | 02:00:54 |
| colemickens | I think I'll just use an existing microsd card and save this for when I have some ephemeral OS booted to peek at... | 02:01:50 |
 Zhaofeng Li | Heh, nice repackaging | 02:07:01 |
| colemickens | huh, maybe it was intentional and they pre-loaded an image and I missed the memo. | 02:18:06 |
| colemickens | do I need to run that to get an updated u-boot first? so far it's not showing much signs of doing anything | 02:23:52 |
| Zhaofeng Li | No, you should be able to see HDMI output from the NixOS image in a minute or so. Do you have a USB to serial adapter? | 02:25:29 |
| colemickens | yeah, I'm headed for that in a minute. Does it boot without the fan attached? | 02:28:27 |
| Zhaofeng Li | It does, and I don't have a suitable fan either | 02:29:22 |
| colemickens | welp, about to grab it but the microsd they sent has stuff on it and it doesn't seem to boot either | 02:46:50 |
| Zhaofeng Li | What do you see on the serial line? | 02:47:42 |
| colemickens | evidence that its working :P | 02:59:52 |
| colemickens | I think that it just completely fails to output to this particular monitor, but I can see nixos stage2 going. Excellent! | 03:00:14 |
| Zhaofeng Li | Maybe it's related to the DRM oops. You can try changing the kernel config to make it built in | 03:02:15 |
| Zhaofeng Li | Sadly I won't have much time to take a look myself until next week 🙁 | 03:02:26 |
| colemickens | oh, I don't even think I'm going to use the hdmi much for now unless another project makes a lot of serious progress :) | 03:02:56 |
| colemickens | this is really awesome, between your repo and having this up with serial access, I'm already rolling. thank you! | 03:03:14 |
| colemickens | how's the riscv64 qemu perf on x86_64-linux? I'm trying to figure out if I should be building on device or if I'm better off just paying a few bucks to boot a Threadripper and let it go once a week. | 03:45:26 |
| Zhaofeng Li | On my 3900X, qemu-system was roughly on par with my HiFive Unmatched in the single-core 7z b benchmark. qemu-user binfmt was considerably faster, but some packages don't build. | 03:55:03 |
| colemickens | it's easy to workaround but the visionfive nixos module isn't part of the flake outputs | 04:09:45 |
