 grw00 | DVFS? | 20:29:18 |
| grw00 | (nice!) | 20:29:25 |
 liberodark | Next is to finish my hydra infra for give public cache for stable nixpkgs. | 20:38:39 |
| liberodark | Yep i need to work on DVFS but I still have quite a few things to do before that point. | 20:40:09 |
 radex | do you have your nix files for this posted anywhere yet? would love to replicate it | 20:40:30 |
| liberodark | Yes, it's planned. I did it for K1, but K3 was my main goal, but my board took a really long time to arrive... I'll give you the details as soon as I'm less in the alpha stage.
| 20:42:17 |
| radex | thanks. I'll be happy to follow along without a binary cache, I can borrow a few hundred cores to build the world | 20:44:49 |
| liberodark | I already offer several caches for arm x86_64, it seems normal to do the same for riscv, but in addition it allows me to work on hydra, I've wanted to set it up for a while. | 20:46:54 |
| grw00 | btw meant to ask if anyone has done nixos kvm project | 20:47:17 |

| grw00 | these 'nanokvm' devices are quite cheap and handy and seem to be happy running mainline, so i can build images with nix instead of stinky vendor toolchain | 20:48:12 |
| liberodark | PS : I would like to clarify that I have chosen to be 100% UEFI on my end; I think it's more future-proof. | 20:48:14 |
| grw00 | i had codex write patches until it worked, didn't dare try flashing to my 'real' nanokvm device yet but seems to work fine on the smaller modules which i expect are wired the same https://github.com/georgewhewell/nixos-nanokvm/ | 20:49:18 |
| grw00 | i wrapped their webui too so i can re-use via this flake, works same using usb gadget and hdmi rx on my arm64 board too | 20:51:06 |
 colemickens | Wait you're doing nanokvm stuff 👀 | 20:51:13 |
| colemickens | Whoa, that's what I want the k3 for, to build a (Nix-based OS) for the NanoKVM | 20:51:38 |
| grw00 | i bought a couple and couldnt be bothered to figure out their weird os ya lol | 20:51:48 |
 Tristan Ross | lol, the nanokvm has a Sophgo chip which has import restrictions in the US. | 20:51:58 |
| grw00 | nice :D | 20:52:06 |
| grw00 | i saw them for 5/$15, crazy | 20:52:30 |
| grw00 | cheaper than esp32 etc almost | 20:52:45 |
| grw00 | curious what is the reason for import restriction? because they ripped off others IP without paying? would explain how they are so cheap | 20:53:43 |
| Tristan Ross | Because they gave Huawei a shuttle of 7nm Qualcomm chips | 20:54:24 |
| grw00 | ouch, shame | 20:55:21 |
| liberodark | Why you need such a powerful CPU for kvm ? | 20:55:25 |
| grw00 | even sg2002 has 4k30fps 😎 | 20:57:16 |

I'm also working on milk-v duo series | 01:34:33 |
| PukNgae Cryolitia🏳️⚧️ | Our NixCN community are trying to make an e-ink screen badge based on this as a Nix accessory for use at conferences. | 01:36:19 |
 dramforever | run native builds, because cross compilation is generally whack | 01:37:59 |

curious what is the reason for import restriction? because they ripped off others IP without paying? would explain how they are so cheap The news circulating here is that it's because they've developed the SG2044, which boasts sufficiently powerful AI computing capabilities. | 01:39:15 |
