bb|hcbgnarface: Let's move that here :)05:38

bb|hcbI don't think that anyone would mind discussing riscv here, IMO its too early for it to have its own channel05:40
bb|hcbBTW. I have tried to check the status of debian sid for riscv (in a qemu chroot) and I can say its too far from usable05:41
qwestion2Most pkgs ported, but im guessing its real slow?06:15
bb|hcbit was not slow but package deps were a mess; i tried apt upgrade and it went south in smoke06:22
qwestion2bb|hcb: not slow: that include js in browser. Video decode i.e. yt-dl or mpv to watch vid, encr/decrypt?18:13
qwestion2Those were all questions not statements, should be ?'s not .'s18:47
bb|hcbqwestion2: I haven't run browser from the chroot, just compiled some code...19:05
qwestion2Ah19:05
bb|hcbI have managed to run the socionext synquacer board with Devuan, but the trip is not smooth:20:23
bb|hcb1) There is no EFI Devuan arm ISO and I went by installing debian-11.2.0-arm64-netinst.iso20:25
bb|hcb2) There are HW glitches and had to change device tree to acpi in BIOS20:25
bb|hcb3) Bullseye to Chimaera conversion needs:20:31
bb|hcb- sed -i -e 's/exit 1/exit 0/' /var/lib/dpkg/info/systemd.prerm (before install eudev sysvinit-core)20:32
bb|hcb- echo b > /proc/sysrq-trigger (instead of reboot)20:32
bb|hcb4) After booting grub still says Debian; apt install lsb-release; update-grub to fix that20:34
bb|hcb5) Rarely reboot hangs or it boots but soft-locks-up and needs reset20:36
bb|hcbNext I am going to try upgrading the board's FW and a backported kernel20:38
bb|hcb[    4.518746] arm-smmu arm-smmu.0.auto: Blocked unknown Stream ID 0x0; boot with "arm-smmu.disable_bypass=0" to allow, but this may have security implications20:41
bb|hcbThis is what is causing the soft-lock-ups... Happens on 5.15.x too20:42
bb|hcb6) The result is usrmerged, but that is unavoidable with the bullseye->chimaera conversion21:00
steevthe blocked unknown stream id is likely due to acpi booting - arm64 acpi isn't fully supported by the linux kernel, and device trees should be used (when applicable, of course)21:14
bb|hcbi know, but it was totally unusable - constant kernel messages about the built-in mmc, usb not working, etc...21:28
bb|hcbbtw. the blocked stream only happens after a reboot, so I'd suppose something isn't initialized21:30
steevthey showed up today c0rnelius23:52
c0rneliussteev: oh? nice. Mine only made it as far as the Opa locka facility. So, Monday it is.23:54
steevah too bad :(23:54
c0rneliusyeah23:54
