to anyone who may be interested in a aarch64 dev board, nixos user Walter made contact with a hardware startup which is willing to supply development boards for the open source community:
https://discourse.nixos.org/t/install-report-from-new-user/1390/25 . If you are willing to evaluate, be sure to contact him. i'd love to see more people here tinkering with these boards :)

samueldr - Is your pine64 still running? Could you maybe ssh in and check if /dev/dri exists?
13:38
<
samueldr >
it is being made by firefly for libre.computer

Thanks! And that's with your custom kernel and modesetting? I'll have to try that again, then
13:50
<
samueldr >
with the community's 4.14 kernel, yes
13:51
<
samueldr >
and uh, I think X11 things are disabled at that point in time
13:51
<
samueldr >
(but yeah, it would have been using modesetting)

makefu: emailed! I asked for at least one board, and if possible a 60-core ;)
13:55
<

(can't hurt to ask!)

(this is how we got Packet.net's sponsorship)
13:55
<

definitely can't :)

meanwhile, still waiting on the renegade elite to ship, should be this week :)

gchristensen: great to hear!
15:37
<

i will be asking for one of their Industry Displays and one m2, both are rk3399. that means the support is already somewhat there
15:37
<
gchristensen >
oh do you have to ask for specific hw?
15:38
<
gchristensen >
I was assuming they intended on contributing a specific thing

apparently not, i got a mail from them where they ask what they should send
16:31
<
gchristensen >
cool
16:31
<
makefu >
i also asked for 8 boards for a workshop at the 35c3, lets see how this goes
16:31
<
gchristensen >
nice
16:33
<
makefu >
worst case is that they say no
16:34
<
gchristensen >
exactly
16:35
<
samueldr >
I should maybe ask for an RK3288-based board as from what I've seen from libre.computer, they're a bit troublesome
16:45
<
sphalerite >
yay 32-bit stuff
16:48
<
samueldr >
oh, it's not the one I had in mind then
16:48
<
gchristensen >
samueldr: good on you, seeking out pain :)
16:48
<
sphalerite >
samueldr: 3328 maybe?
16:48
<
samueldr >
off by one (hundred)
16:48
<
sphalerite >
yeah totally not confusing model numbers x)
16:49
<
samueldr >
I already have a RK3288 device (chromebit)
16:49
<
sphalerite >
oh yeah
16:49
<
samueldr >
(for which I'm straying from the right path and using archlinuxarm on)
17:05
<
makefu >
samueldr: it seems like the company behind libre.computer actually is firefly
17:05
<
samueldr >
they're not
17:05
<
samueldr >
they're using firefly for rockchip hardware
17:05
<
samueldr >
they have other partners for the other boards
17:05
<
samueldr >
yes, it's not a hidden fact (AFAIK)
17:10
<
samueldr >
it is, AFAIUI both sides sell the product once developed
17:12
<
samueldr >
though, good to know firefly added the documents, not sure when it was added, but a few months ago it wasn't there (probably since the product wasn't finalized?)
17:21
<
makefu >
development is so fast these days
