2024-01-24 19:47:43 <ikke> there it is
2024-01-24 19:48:01 <vkrishn> \o/
2024-01-25 16:23:55 <clandmeter> pioneer booted alpine :)
2024-01-25 16:24:02 <ikke> nice
2024-01-25 16:24:04 <clandmeter> kind off 
2024-01-25 16:24:20 <clandmeter> stil need to use vendor bootloader
2024-01-25 17:24:56 <clandmeter> https://x.com/clandmeter/status/1750570332136567186?s=20
2024-01-25 17:32:41 <mps> clandmeter: you got alpine login prompt. congrats
2024-01-25 17:32:45 <mps> \o/
2024-01-25 17:34:27 <clandmeter> yes using vendor firmware
2024-01-25 17:34:36 <clandmeter> i would prefer to directly boot to alpine
2024-01-25 17:34:45 <clandmeter> skipping the kexec part
2024-01-25 17:36:37 <mps> agree that this should be goal, but for now you know that alpine kernel and userspace works which is important step forward
2024-01-25 17:37:55 <mps> OFC I'm not sure but I guess with vendor u-boot and opensbi it could be possible to boot it 
2024-01-25 17:38:24 <mps> nothing yet for pioneer in mainline u-boot
2024-01-25 17:39:02 <clandmeter> im not sure how they want to chain from zsbl to opensbi to u-boot
2024-01-25 17:39:43 <clandmeter> currently zsbl is kind of undocumented and always wants to load an initrd and dtb
2024-01-25 17:39:44 <mps> I think zsbl is in rom or flash
2024-01-25 17:39:58 <clandmeter> zsbl can run from SPI or SD
2024-01-25 17:41:25 <mps> https://github.com/sophgo/sophgo-doc/blob/main/SG2042/HowTo/figures/bootflow.png
2024-01-25 17:42:21 <mps> as I read ZSBL can be in rom/flash and it then can load opensbi and then u-boot or kernel
2024-01-25 17:43:44 <mps> and I see EDK2 on image but didn't found any mention of it in their docs
2024-01-25 17:44:14 <clandmeter> i dont think its used
2024-01-25 17:44:19 <clandmeter> neither uboot
2024-01-25 17:44:27 <clandmeter> currently all done by u-root and kexec
2024-01-25 17:44:55 <clandmeter> but the edk2 part is upstream
2024-01-25 17:45:52 <mps> as I understand image I would try this path: zsbl->opensbi->u-boot->distribution_kernel (and skip grub)
2024-01-25 18:46:52 <clandmeter> linux-edge build in 19min
2024-01-26 02:25:07 <ncopa> congrats!
2024-01-26 03:02:50 <iggy> wonder how the timing of this will line up with 3.20. I know there are a few projects that are just waiting for released versions with riscv64 support to start officially supporting it as an arch (at least for the docker base image anyways)
2024-01-26 07:28:41 <vkrishn> how to get riscv64 board ?
2024-01-26 07:29:38 <vkrishn> id i trigger builder, but inviting algibot ;)
2024-01-26 07:29:44 <vkrishn> did^
2024-01-26 07:46:53 <vkrishn> did i trigger builder, buy inviting algibot ;), ah! cold morning
2024-01-26 07:48:19 <vkrishn> i am changing my irc client
2024-01-26 17:00:34 <iggy> vkrishn: I think visionfive2 is probably the best supported (but also probably one of the slowest), I got alpine running on a Lichee pi4a (which is a little faster, but still slow), and work is being done to bring it up on the milk-v pioneer
2024-01-26 17:59:31 <vkrishn> iggy: can i get them in india easily ?
2024-01-26 18:57:01 <iggy> I couldn't answer that... I think the visionfive2's are shipping worldwide from China now
2024-01-26 21:17:50 <vkrishn> thanks
2024-01-28 09:31:57 <mps> what about moving linux-starfive to testing? if we do this we don't need http://starfive.infra.alpinelinux.org/ anymore
2024-01-28 09:35:55 <ikke> mps: ncopa suggested that as well
2024-01-28 09:36:37 <mps> ikke: what is your opinion
2024-01-28 09:38:39 <ikke> It's fine with me
2024-01-28 09:38:48 <mps> thanks
2024-01-28 09:39:02 <clandmeter> mps: fyi
2024-01-28 09:39:11 <clandmeter> i am sourcing the lts kernel now
2024-01-28 09:39:26 <clandmeter> trying to follow our own upstream :)
2024-01-28 09:39:38 <mps> clandmeter: I saw. good luck
2024-01-28 09:39:46 <clandmeter> not sure it will give any issues with our build scripts
2024-01-28 09:41:33 <mps> btw, kernel 6.8 have new starfive JH8100 chip added
2024-01-28 09:44:45 <ikke> mps: does that mean we can use the upstream kernel?
2024-01-28 09:45:42 <mps> ikke: not yet, but lets see what will be missing in 6.8 when released
2024-01-28 09:45:58 <ikke> ok
2024-01-28 09:46:03 <mps> I will test 6.8-rc on VF1 to see
2024-01-28 09:46:49 <mps> I think PCI not yet works for VF2 in 6.8
2024-01-28 09:46:55 <clandmeter> mps: please add sopgho options when they arrive 
2024-01-28 09:47:06 <clandmeter> i mean like for 6.7
2024-01-28 09:47:19 <clandmeter> i can msg you later what they are if you dont know
2024-01-28 09:47:29 <mps> clandmeter: didn't I already
2024-01-28 09:47:39 <clandmeter> dunno i did not check
2024-01-28 09:47:45 <clandmeter> I want to give that kernel a try later
2024-01-28 09:47:49 <mps> I will check
2024-01-28 09:48:00 <clandmeter> one weird thing i am bumping into is the console option
2024-01-28 09:48:12 <clandmeter> it keeps being removed on boot
2024-01-28 09:48:18 <clandmeter> removing my serial console option
2024-01-28 09:48:37 <clandmeter> i am not sure which this happens, and on the fedora one, it just works.
2024-01-28 09:48:56 <clandmeter> s/which/where
2024-01-28 09:49:20 <clandmeter> i think i also know how they use efi and uboot
2024-01-28 09:49:31 <mps> some sophgo things are added to 6.8 
2024-01-28 09:49:50 <clandmeter> the picture we saw about the boot chain is not correct it seems, or im just missing vital docs
2024-01-28 09:50:06 <clandmeter> looks like you can chain efi or uboot after u-root
2024-01-28 09:50:41 <mps> clandmeter: my wild guess u-boot+opensbi have to be build in fw_dynamic.bin
2024-01-28 09:51:09 <clandmeter> maybe
2024-01-28 09:51:17 <clandmeter> im a uboot noob
2024-01-28 09:51:36 <mps> I created one version if you are ready to test it
2024-01-28 09:51:41 <clandmeter> running linux is easy, starting it seems be more challenging :)
2024-01-28 09:52:00 <clandmeter> ok time to get some outside garden work done
2024-01-28 09:52:04 <clandmeter> hope i dont freeze 
2024-01-28 09:52:18 <mps> everything is easy if someone do it for you ;-)
2024-01-28 09:52:33 <clandmeter> you want to do my garden work?
2024-01-28 09:52:37 <clandmeter> :p
2024-01-28 09:53:10 <mps> ofc, I will but don't have teleport, yet
2024-01-28 09:56:01 <clandmeter> ok, that will be my next aport :)
2024-01-28 10:10:25 <mps> :)
2024-01-28 10:10:58 <mps> working on riscv is easy compared to apple silicon
2024-01-28 20:07:26 <mps> ikke: moved linux-starfive to testing
2024-01-28 20:09:09 <ikke> mps: nice, thanks
2024-01-28 20:09:48 <mps> you can remove old repo, if you don't want to keep it as history
