parabyte | okay people are using a really REALLY old build of uboot that does not even support ext4 | 02:59 |
---|---|---|
parabyte | lol | 02:59 |
parabyte | my platform asus tf101 | 02:59 |
parabyte | im currently working on getting uboot current working | 02:59 |
gnarface | you should be able to enable several other filesystems too | 03:04 |
gnarface | if you make a custom build | 03:04 |
parabyte | gnarface, its going to take me a few evenings, i was unaware how vasty uboot has changed in the past 11 years | 13:10 |
parabyte | i must admit its lots nicer now the build system, but the old dts files no good and need adapting | 13:11 |
parabyte | i was hoping i could just drop the dts write a few make files etc etc lol | 13:11 |
parabyte | nothing ever that easy, but i got it working today, just bit stumped by a few things, | 13:11 |
parabyte | i used nvidia fex loader tool to try uboot in ram | 13:11 |
parabyte | gnarface, do you know where all the definitions for the gpio are stored for different platforms in uboot? | 17:02 |
parabyte | im stumbling with gpio's | 17:02 |
parabyte | gnarface, figured it out! | 17:13 |
parabyte | all in the includes sorry for bothering you | 17:13 |
gnarface | parabyte: no worries, but i didn't know anyway | 23:05 |
qwestion2 | Anyone using arm server class hw as gui desktop? | 23:10 |
qwestion2 | Or seen on ml etc? | 23:10 |
gnarface | i'm not but i'm curious about it | 23:14 |
Tenkawa | qwestion2: what do you consider server class arm hardware? | 23:18 |
qwestion2 | Tenkawa: synquaecer , honeycomb or pricier and thunderx etc | 23:19 |
qwestion2 | Amd* | 23:19 |
Tenkawa | the few arm "servers" I've seen only run 2d graphics unless you addon pci-e graphics | 23:21 |
Tenkawa | some of them don't even have gpus | 23:22 |
Tenkawa | I would like to get my hands on a honeycomb though | 23:23 |
Tenkawa | although now that I have a M1 running several linux instances on it… not really needed | 23:23 |
Tenkawa | devuan runs great on my M1 paravirt | 23:24 |
bb|hcb | qwestion2: I have got a SynQuacer board but haven't started it yet | 23:33 |
Tenkawa | bb|hcb: yeah I was just reading the specs on that one.. same deal there.. have to provide your own graphics so their gui desktop question is kind of a skewed question | 23:36 |
Tenkawa | its got a ton of raw horsepower.. but its not "designed" to be a desktop so graphics bandwidth io is not going to be its forte I would imagine | 23:38 |
bb|hcb | My plan is to use it as a server, maybe adding a 10ge card instead of video; I am also curious how well it will work as a desktop, most probably will try that too | 23:43 |
Tenkawa | bb|hcb: from the specs looks good as a server | 23:44 |
bb|hcb | BTW. chip1stop promise in their shop that they will give RAM but that is not true; and it looks like I do not have the proper RAM in my drawer and the board is picky about the RAM | 23:44 |
Tenkawa | bummer | 23:45 |
Tenkawa | right now I just use a cluster of 8 rpi4's and 2 Odroid N2/N2+ 's | 23:47 |
Tenkawa | (afk for a few) | 23:48 |
qwestion2 | bb|hcb: u bought it after all? | 23:48 |
bb|hcb | yep, it arrived today | 23:49 |
qwestion2 | > BTW. chip1stop promise in their shop that they will give RAM but that is not true; and it looks like I do not have the proper RAM in my drawer and the board is picky about the RAM | 23:50 |
qwestion2 | Damn, and try were promising a lot, that's not professional of them | 23:50 |
qwestion2 | S try they | 23:51 |
