 pouspous | Hi guys. I recently bought a Star64 and wanted to try NixOS on it. I cloned https://git.sr.ht/~fgaz/nixos-star64 and added a line networking.wireless.networks."my-wifi" = {}; before running nix build and flashing the result image onto a sd card.
Once the sd card inserted and the Star64 plugged to the power, the usual green light lights up, but no connection is made on the wireless wifi. I have also tried flashing the image onto an eMMC, but to no avail. I don't even know if the system has booted or if it in a stale state or something. Do you know any way to make the light blink once the system is booted ? | 14:51:59 |

Do you know any way to make the light blink once the system is booted ? the light won't blink by default, you can write a target to /sys/devices/platform/leds/leds/blue-led/trigger to enable it. for some reason I don't get the always blinking target on the latest version, but mmc0/mmc1 works | 10:19:07 |
| fgaz | make sure you update the firmware and set the dip switches to flash to rule out any problem with those | 10:20:30 |
| pouspous | everything works now, thanks ! looks like wireless didn't work out of the box so I just plugged an ethernet cable to it (I couldnt do it earlier on) | 14:37:59 |
| fgaz | Nice! | 14:48:34 |

NB: According to the RISC-V ISA manual (V20211203), that is a CSRRS instruction on CSR 0xc22, which is a standard read-only unprivileged CSR that hasn't yet been allocated. Whatever is generating that instruction probably should not.
If you don't need CSRs, disabling Zicsr may help. it has been allocated to vlenb in the vector extension.
I think I discovered what happened, our riscv bootstrap files have never been updated so we are stuck with an old assembler that doesn't recognize rvv 1.0 instructions. | 14:56:15 |
| fgaz | Now, how do I generate a bootstrap tarball and who do I ping to get it uploaded to tarballs.nixos.org? This doesn't seem to be documented anywhere | 14:57:03 |
 raitobezarius | it's documented in stdenv | 14:57:27 |
| raitobezarius | ping lovesegfault IIRC on #stdenv:nixos.org for upload | 14:57:51 |
| fgaz | aha, I found make-bootstrap-tools | 14:58:24 |
| fgaz | raitobezarius: will do thanks | 14:58:35 |

cache for RISC-V when ;P an official one? when suitable (ie. rack-mountable) hardware is available | 16:18:20 |
| fgaz | there are a few unofficial ones already, I'll probably make one as well | 16:18:51 |
| fgaz | * an official one? when suitable (ie. rack-mountable) hardware is available, see https://pad.lassul.us/NixOS-riscv64-linux-2023-09-10# | 16:20:37 |

| nyanbinary | I mean RISC-V is becoming more prevalent so thats good | 16:41:28 |

thanks for merging :) It's on master, not staging, and it has yet to reach the channels | 09:24:22 |
| pouspous | once https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/274853 we'll be able to fully cross-compile nixos-star64 and thus remove lib.optionals (stdenv.buildPlatform == stdenv.hostPlatform) | 14:05:08 |
| pouspous | (or at least I would find it nice to remove it by default) | 14:06:10 |
