<duncan^> hiya
<duncan^> It is beginning >;-)~
<gchristensen> ooh what're you doing?
<duncan^> New router!!!
<gchristensen> nice!
<duncan^> Running this Nix on MacchiatoBin
<duncan^> But I suspect it will not be NixOS... I played with Nix on Ubuntu instead
<gchristensen> oh why not nix?
<gchristensen> os
<duncan^> There are reasons
<gchristensen> obviously, I wonder why
<gchristensen> what they are*
<duncan^> The device is a pain and currently it's somewhat difficult to move from Ubuntu

<duncan^> Once I have properly built the system I will run NixOS proper.
<gchristensen> ah ok
<duncan^> Currently I don't quite trust the onboard SATA ports in mainline
<duncan^> and USB went crazy on mainline
<duncan^> I'll test with 4.15 later this week when I have time
<gchristensen> ouch
<duncan^> and I need to take the dremmel to the case and obtain another power supply :)
<duncan^> This case used to run network infrastructure for thr East coast! :D
<gchristensen> oh?

<dotlambda> Two questions:
<gchristensen> possibly 2 answers
<dotlambda> 1. Has anyone tried NixOS on https://linux-sunxi.org/Orange_Pi_PC_2?
<duncan^> dotlambda: It's a matter of kernel/DTD + root filesystem
<duncan^> The former is really complicated; Allwinner has quite bad support in mainline
<dotlambda> 2. Which dtb file is used to build the aarch64 iso hosted by @dezgeg?
<dotlambda> I know it's complicated but it seems like the H5 SoC has gotten quite nice upstream support in the meantime

<dtz> anyone have some spare aarch64 cycles to try out my musl PR? Mostly just want to see if bootstrap works on aarch64-native, so building up through "stdenv.cc" is plenty, I can find a smaller target if that'd be useful. Anyway: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/34645
<sphalerite> dtz: community box?
<sphalerite> Also, your musl PR works for MIPS!
<sphalerite> (With cross)
<dtz> awesome! I was testing that earlier, but dropped it from my testing configuration at some point ... I forget why. Think ran into some libffi problem, maybe? I forget O:).
<dtz> that's great to hear, though! What "config" do you use, is it in some repo?
<sphalerite> No, it's an ad-hack one I wrote about 3h ago not having any idea what I was doing. Somehow it still works :D
<sphalerite> Tested with hello and with vim
<dtz> :D haha okay great
<sphalerite> I had to remove the docs and a bunch of syntax definitions from vim to get it to fit on my 64MB router but it worked!
<sphalerite> Awesome work
<sphalerite> I'll PR it tomorrow though! I needed to add a MIPS CPU definition as well
<sphalerite> Planning to test it on my vocore (vocore.io) once that arrives too
<sphalerite> Then hopefully use it for educational purposes as well. I'm helping with a class at uni that involves writing MIPS assembly and was hoping to give interested students an opportunity to run their code on real hardware rather than just an emulator
<dtz> submits PR for access to community box :D
