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

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

dtz: community box?

Also, your musl PR works for MIPS!

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
