2024-12-02 17:39:59 I've built kernel for bpi f3 from https://github.com/jmontleon/linux-bianbu 2024-12-02 17:40:28 now all cpu frequency shedulers works fine 2024-12-02 17:43:35 all in all, bpi f3 is now better as router/small server than visionfive V2 2024-12-02 17:45:59 tempted to add testing/linux-k1x to aports 2024-12-02 19:43:28 i'd like to add a boot image for visionfive v2. a generic alpine-standard-3.21-riscv64.img or similar 2024-12-02 19:48:03 ncopa: linux-edge 6.12 works on VF2, so lts should also 2024-12-02 19:48:54 but you will have to check if all options and drivers needed are enabled in linux-lts 2024-12-02 19:50:05 that is what I'm talking about 2024-12-02 19:50:16 also that the release image is done properly 2024-12-02 19:50:28 needs uboot and not efi, right? 2024-12-02 19:51:03 iirc uefi can work but I didn't tested for last year 2024-12-02 19:51:43 maybe I can in few days test again 2024-12-02 19:52:04 but I guess you are short with time, as usual at release time 2024-12-02 19:52:57 it anyway need u-boot and from u-boot it starts efi 2024-12-02 19:53:21 efi for such devices is implemented in u-boot 2024-12-02 19:54:02 or clandmeter could try limine 2024-12-02 19:54:05 :) 2024-12-02 19:54:10 does it make sense to create a iso image for riscv64? 2024-12-02 19:54:28 no, IMO 2024-12-02 19:54:38 we build one for loongarch64 2024-12-02 19:55:01 well, loongarch64 have uefi in 'bios' 2024-12-02 19:55:38 and so has riscv64 when 'bios' is u-boot? 2024-12-02 19:56:04 if I understood correctly it could make sense with iso images if there were support for openbmc 2024-12-02 19:56:18 right (I didn't saw riscv64 machine with u/efi in bootrom) 2024-12-02 19:56:20 i dont know if there are riscv64 machines with BMC 2024-12-02 19:56:36 though I could be wrong 2024-12-02 19:56:46 iso also makes sense to make it simple to boot with qemu 2024-12-02 19:57:10 does Pioneer have BMC 2024-12-02 19:57:11 btw i go a hifive permier p550 2024-12-02 19:57:27 maybe. clandmeter may know 2024-12-02 19:57:41 i bought a case for the hifive board 2024-12-02 19:57:45 but im stupid 2024-12-02 19:57:57 the case is *huge* 2024-12-02 19:58:21 I used uefi boot for qemu riscv64 about 2-3 years ago and I know it works 2024-12-02 19:58:28 compared to starfive v2 and the bpi3 2024-12-02 19:58:45 right, so it may make sense with an iso image then 2024-12-02 20:00:24 IDK all use cases where iso may be needed, but for all my 'work' disk images works 2024-12-02 20:01:18 target audience is bigger than your work 2024-12-02 20:01:46 mps: you still have starfive v2 board? do you have time to test the linux-lts kernel? 2024-12-02 20:02:00 I guess so. more and more articles and use cases for alpine 2024-12-02 20:02:18 I based the linux-lts riscv64 kernel on the starfive kernel config 2024-12-02 20:02:21 ncopa: yes, it is on my desk, does nothing 2024-12-02 20:03:10 (have to add I didn't fully recovered from cold, still have mild headache) 2024-12-02 20:03:16 ouch 2024-12-02 20:03:38 well, if you have time and energy and want test something, testing linux-lts would be very helpful 2024-12-02 20:03:43 but I started to work today for my $day_job 2024-12-02 20:04:09 ncopa: could I test current one or you will make new 2024-12-02 20:06:29 you could test the current one 2024-12-02 20:06:44 i havent tested it at all, so I expect that it wont work 2024-12-02 20:06:55 ok 2024-12-02 20:07:34 so test, and see what fails, and maybe you even could find out what would be needed to be changed in the kernel config to make it work 2024-12-02 20:08:04 hm, `apk search linux-lts` shows nothing 2024-12-02 20:09:35 I set repositories to edge 2024-12-02 20:10:12 lets try first upgrade all 2024-12-02 20:11:14 oh sorry 2024-12-02 20:11:32 we apparently dont build it for riscv64 yet 2024-12-02 20:11:38 *facepalm* 2024-12-02 20:11:51 i added the config, but didnt remove the !riscv64 2024-12-02 20:11:53 first bug discovered :) 2024-12-02 20:12:11 oh man. im stupid 2024-12-02 20:12:42 hm, who are not stupid nowadays ;p 2024-12-02 20:13:28 only one way is to not be stupid and look like idiot: do nothing 2024-12-02 20:13:50 ich bin ein dummkopf! 2024-12-02 20:14:10 valerius: haha 2024-12-02 20:14:29 mps ist zweite 2024-12-02 20:20:00 ncopa: two years ago I've created script to make VF2 image with ESP and grub 2024-12-02 20:20:06 I still have it 2024-12-02 20:22:22 btw, I found today that busybox awk have regression in some of latest upgrades on alpine 2024-12-02 20:24:00 because this had to add gawk in makedepends for u-boot today 2024-12-02 20:36:17 yes. i am aware of the busybox awk regression 2024-12-02 20:36:27 right now I build kernels with AWK=mawk 2024-12-02 20:37:01 i havent had time to create a minimal reproducer, but I suspect it is related backslashes 2024-12-02 20:37:22 https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues/6503 2024-12-02 20:37:46 also gcc fails to build crosscompiler with busybox awk 2024-12-02 20:39:00 yes, backslash is not put if string have another quote in it 2024-12-02 20:39:10 $ diff -u /tmp/gen-kdb_cmds.c kernel/debug/kdb/gen-kdb_cmds.c | tpaste 2024-12-02 20:39:10 https://tpaste.us/pylE 2024-12-02 20:39:23 the first is generated with busybox awk, the second with mawk 2024-12-02 20:39:34 I need to create a one-liner reproducer 2024-12-02 20:39:53 you will report bug upstream?

How fast is this machine compared to BPI F3 or VF2 2024-12-16 10:08:45 i havent had time to test anything on it 2024-12-16 10:09:21 i have just mouted it in the ATX cabinet, and got it booted 2024-12-16 11:56:28 it is so painfully noisy 2024-12-16 11:56:52 so i had to power it off 2024-12-16 11:57:03 i wonder if i should try update the kernel. its 6.6.y 2024-12-16 11:57:17 huh, not nice 2024-12-16 11:57:19 and I would like to have an alpine linux kernel 2024-12-16 11:57:42 it may be that it is the ATX case and power supply that is noisy. I don't know 2024-12-16 11:58:31 my loongarch64 is quiet, I hear fan shortly only on boot 2024-12-16 11:59:18 the p550 has a fairly nice debug UART. Just connect the usb-c -> USB-A and I get 4x ttyUSB* 2024-12-16 11:59:26 the serial is the third 2024-12-16 11:59:38 looks like it is openembedded that was installed 2024-12-16 11:59:38 I switched to arm long ago and one of main reason was they are fanless 2024-12-16 11:59:44 yeah 2024-12-16 12:00:05 the loonarch64 is not nearly as noisy as the p550 2024-12-16 12:00:14 my bpi3 is fanless 2024-12-16 12:00:19 fans irritates me when I work 2024-12-16 12:00:22 same 2024-12-16 12:00:28 the bpi3 is super nice 2024-12-16 12:00:42 nice case, works fanless, and has usb-c power 2024-12-16 12:00:46 and is small 2024-12-16 12:00:54 yes, and no one is brave to test my new image on it :) 2024-12-16 12:00:59 lol 2024-12-16 12:01:05 the bpi3 is just super nice 2024-12-16 12:01:48 I agree. only mine issue that I have one with 2GB of RAM 2024-12-16 12:02:21 anyway I ordered nvme storage for it but it still is not arrived 2024-12-16 12:02:52 I think I will manage to boot it directly from nvme 2024-12-16 12:04:20 probably yes 2024-12-16 12:04:34 im trying to figure out is the p550 can boot from usb 2024-12-16 12:04:43 because I'm a bit afraid of bricking it 2024-12-16 12:05:48 BPI F3 have spi nor flash, but driver in kernel doesn't work yet 2024-12-16 14:12:51 uh oh, didn't knew how many people and entities uses our work :) 2024-12-16 14:13:06 now I feel a more important person :D 2024-12-16 14:47:12 ncopa: you told earlier that you will create riscv64 image or iso. Do you still plan to do this so we will have official or I should upgrade 'my' image to new stable release 2024-12-16 14:49:41 you read devboard-community@riscv.org mail? 2024-12-16 15:30:01 yup. good job! 2024-12-16 15:50:29 hm, not sure I understand. you will create it? 2024-12-16 15:52:58 i will create official riscv image at some point 2024-12-16 15:53:10 aha, ok 2024-12-17 01:51:07 I'm using alpine as mini root on bpi3 2024-12-17 01:51:20 with chroot 2024-12-17 14:41:07 I heard building alpine for BananaPi F3 SBC is now possible. I will try on milk-v jupiter this week 2024-12-17 14:55:29 OctopusET: when I booted it first time with alpine I used armbian kernel and alpine userspace 2024-12-17 14:56:58 extracted armbian from their image and added userspace from alpine visionfive V2 board, and set proper parameters to boot 2024-12-17 14:57:20 armbian kernel* 2024-12-17 14:58:44 though I see k1-x_milkv-jupiter.dtb in our image for bpi f3 so maybe just use this 2024-12-18 14:22:06 could someone of you who have BPI F3 check if the MTD works 2024-12-18 14:22:37 I'm not sure I have SPI NOR flash on my board 2024-12-20 15:12:26 fine, found method to boot from nvme on bpi f3 2024-12-20 15:13:22 but still need u-boot batteries on emmc or sd card because in my board spi flash doesn't work 2024-12-20 15:14:07 but this is step forward and enough for now 2024-12-20 15:16:40 btw, yesterday upgraded opesbi and u-boot for bpi f3 2024-12-20 15:16:49 opensbi* 2024-12-21 12:29:32 mps: btw how did you boot from nvme? get into uboot shell and manually send command? 2024-12-21 12:57:53 pericycle: very very hackish metod 2024-12-21 12:58:30 break u-boot by press any key during boot, and get u-boot shell 2024-12-21 12:59:30 from the shell forcefully set autoboot variable to very simple one 2024-12-21 12:59:44 setenv -f autoboot "sysboot nvme 0:1 any 0x2000000 /extlinux/extlinux.conf" 2024-12-21 12:59:48 and 2024-12-21 12:59:58 saveenv 2024-12-21 13:00:06 that's all 2024-12-21 13:00:54 in case to need boot from emmc `env restore -a` 2024-12-21 13:01:43 simple, and I like simple solutions 2024-12-21 13:02:37 sure, I could hack u-boot source to get it better, but I'm not sure is that worth time 2024-12-21 13:14:40 btw, I noticed that linux-spacemit hangs often when booting from nvme 2024-12-21 13:15:38 and because this I created separate kernel pkg 2024-12-21 13:17:07 though also it hangs sometimes 2024-12-21 15:13:17 cool! 2024-12-21 15:14:08 maybe can change the uboot bootarg in the bsp source code 2024-12-21 15:16:10 i've never notice whether it hangs, when i boot the system just do something else and go back see the root# ;) 2024-12-21 15:16:51 sorry, nor 'env restore -a' but 'env default -a' 2024-12-21 15:17:34 linux-spacemit doesn't hangs when booting from emmc or sd card 2024-12-21 15:17:47 but hangs when boot from nvem 2024-12-21 15:18:27 nvme* 2024-12-21 15:18:49 that's wierd... though i havn't try boot the system from nvme... 2024-12-21 15:19:50 also, you can boot from nvme by 'setenv devtype nvme' and then 'boot' from u-boot shell 2024-12-21 15:20:13 i.e. without changing autoboot variable 2024-12-21 15:23:13 btw, what the partition on the nvme looks like? the same like boot from emmc? 2024-12-21 15:43:06 you can make it however you like 2024-12-21 15:43:40 though I prefer p1 for extlinux and /boot and p2 for rootFS 2024-12-21 15:45:56 currently on my bpif3 `lsblk` show https://tpaste.us/9Xb4 2024-12-21 15:58:59 ohh got it 2024-12-21 15:59:02 cool! 2024-12-22 05:12:24 mps: a gentoo guy create a "#spacemit" irc channel in libera.chat, maybe you can ask him why it hangs while boot in nvme mode? 2024-12-22 07:19:36 pericycle: heh, actually I know why alpine linux-spacemit hangs booting from nvme in my case 2024-12-22 07:20:27 I created rootFS as F2FS and linux-spacemit initramfs doesn't have driver included 2024-12-22 07:21:13 adding f2fs to mkinitfs.conf and rebuild initramfs will solve problem I bet 2024-12-22 07:48:54 awesome! 2024-12-22 08:27:42 btw, mps what's the dram size of yr bpif3? can you help me validate my patch? i've implement get dram size on mainline u-boot, here's the link: https://github.com/per1cycle/u-boot/tree/b4/get-dram 2024-12-22 08:28:16 on my 4g dram bpif3 the uboot can get the dram size correctly. 2024-12-22 08:30:41 git clone https://github.com/per1cycle/u-boot/ -b b4/get-dram 2024-12-22 16:03:34 pericycle: does this patch apply to bianbu u-boot tree? 2024-12-23 00:46:13 this patch is for mainline uboot 2024-12-23 00:48:20 bianbu uboot seems doesnot need any extra patch, this patch is referenced to bianbu u-boot btw. 2024-12-23 03:12:24 Hey ya'll, I've been following https://arvanta.net/alpine/alpine-on-visionfive/ to try to boot on a VisionFive 2. When I set the pins to boot from flash, the keyboard is getting power from the USB but I don't even get a splash screen from the HDMI. Am I holding it wrong it should I at least get a pulse on the monitor? 2024-12-23 06:23:20 try to use uart see the output?? 2024-12-23 06:23:29 s/??/?/ 2024-12-23 07:01:31 hmm, I don't have a cable for that 2024-12-23 07:08:31 I'd just like a sanity check if someone else with this board can tell me if I should expect the bios to send something to the monitor even if my sdcard is broken 2024-12-23 07:27:21 homa_rano: iirc, u-boot for VF2 doesn't have video driver 2024-12-23 07:28:39 try to boot and simply wait some time 2024-12-23 07:29:20 don't touch keyboard as it could break boot 2024-12-23 08:22:07 homa_rano: small advice, by working with such board is it very good to have serial cable and they are very cheap and available nearly everywhere. could save of lot of 'headache' 2024-12-24 08:59:36 pericycle: sorry, I still don't found free time to test your u-boot works 2024-12-24 14:57:56 mps: np, my coworkers have test and works fine:) 2024-12-24 15:48:27 pericycle: nice 2024-12-24 16:04:53 next step is to fix my reset and clock driver, im consider use jtag for further debugging, caz uart seems provide too less information... though i know the sysreset seems didn't called the reset driver, idk how to get further information... 2024-12-26 09:59:43 the sifive p550 is pretty nice. it has a BMC, super easy access to serial console 2024-12-26 10:00:30 i can power cycle it from serial console via a USB cable 2024-12-26 10:00:40 it boots from USB 2024-12-26 10:12:31 BMC have access over net? 2024-12-26 10:17:15 But performance is not that great? 2024-12-26 10:22:17 i believe the BMC has access over net but I havent tested that 2024-12-26 10:23:24 I havent tested performance yet, but google says its better than banana pi bpi f3 2024-12-26 10:23:38 the only thing im not too happy with is the noise 2024-12-26 10:24:18 but i havent figured out where it comes from. if its the ATX case fan, power supply fan or CPU fan 2024-12-26 10:25:04 They shipped an usb-c to usb-a cable, and the usb-c port on the board is the serial console/bmc 2024-12-26 10:25:39 very convenient 2024-12-26 10:26:14 Same as on pioneer, but no BMC 2024-12-26 10:27:15 I have too many boards now. Need to find some ppl who can make better use of them. 2024-12-26 10:28:01 nice that they made serial console over usb-c. I always wondered why other vendors do not ship cheap usb to ttl cable with SBCs 2024-12-26 15:58:41 yay! success 2024-12-26 15:58:45 OpenRC 0.55.1 is starting up Linux 6.6.67-0-eswin (riscv64) 2024-12-26 15:58:52 Welcome to Alpine Linux 3.22.0_alpha20241224 (edge) 2024-12-26 15:58:52 Kernel 6.6.67-0-eswin on an riscv64 (/dev/ttyS0) 2024-12-26 15:59:19 this is even a traditional alpine-uboot.tar.gz image 2024-12-26 17:20:04 on p550? 2024-12-26 18:47:18 yes 2024-12-26 20:28:44 yay! I was able to create an alpine-uboot release tarball, and untarred it to the sdcard for my visionfive2, and it just booted! 2024-12-26 20:29:10 it means that we can do the alpine 3.21.1 to support visionfive2 board 2024-12-26 20:29:15 out of the box 2024-12-26 20:31:03 anybody knows if upstream uboot support visionfive2? 2024-12-26 20:39:25 ncopa: VF2 u-boot is already packaged for alpine. iirc year ago now 2024-12-26 20:41:18 apk info u-boot-starfive 2024-12-26 20:42:20 yes but why do we have separate package for it instead of just using main/u-boot? 2024-12-26 20:43:26 https://docs.u-boot.org/en/latest/board/starfive/visionfive2.html 2024-12-26 20:43:47 we have a lot specific u-boot packages, because different boards need differently build binaries 2024-12-26 20:44:27 oh 2024-12-26 20:44:47 it is a subpackage of from main/u-boot 2024-12-26 20:44:50 only u-boot-tools are same for all 2024-12-26 20:45:19 yes, all these subpkgs are built from main/u-boot 2024-12-26 20:46:07 and we have few specific aports of u-boot which can't be built from mainline 2024-12-26 20:47:20 u-boot-asahi, u-boot-spacemit and something else. I have more locally of such 2024-12-26 20:48:20 some are for family of boards, for example u-boot-sunxi for arm32 2024-12-26 20:48:56 yeah, i misunderstood. all good 2024-12-26 20:49:01 but even it contains different build for specific sunxi boards 2024-12-26 20:50:05 this is good 2024-12-26 20:50:23 actually it is possible to build by architecture but this will be complicated and not easy for end users 2024-12-26 20:50:39 it means I probably can replace my pc-engines machine with the visionfive2 2024-12-26 20:50:58 as home router 2024-12-26 20:51:12 we have for about year all for VF2 in aports 2024-12-26 20:51:29 I use VF2 as home router 2024-12-26 20:52:02 sometimes exchange it with BPI F3 2024-12-26 20:52:22 BPI F3 is better but not yet 'polished' 2024-12-26 20:53:20 but I got to the point where I can just 'move' nvme from one to other and boot without any tweak 2024-12-26 20:54:14 kernel for BPI F3 needs works and testing 2024-12-26 20:54:49 things are so much easier when mainline kernel supports the board 2024-12-26 20:55:39 ncopa: btw, linux-spacemit hangs when booting from nvme, and I have no idea why (yet, at last). it boots fine from sd card and emmc 2024-12-26 20:56:15 ok 2024-12-26 20:56:15 yes, pericycle works on upstreaming u-boot for BPI F3 2024-12-26 20:57:01 the bianbu kernel sources is very inconvenient to work with 2024-12-26 20:57:08 i'd like to rebase it 2024-12-26 20:57:25 and it would be nice to have a kernel based on 6.12.y 2024-12-26 20:57:28 here is the try with kernel https://github.com/spacemit-com/linux-k1x/tree/k1 2024-12-26 20:57:48 6.13-rc1 2024-12-26 20:58:02
