<makefu> 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 :)
<tilpner> samueldr - Is your pine64 still running? Could you maybe ssh in and check if /dev/dri exists?
<samueldr> in some way I'll be having one of their board; https://libre.computer/products/boards/roc-rk3399-pc/
<samueldr> it is being made by firefly for libre.computer

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

<gchristensen> makefu: emailed! I asked for at least one board, and if possible a 60-core ;)
<samueldr> heh
<gchristensen> (can't hurt to ask!)
<gchristensen> (this is how we got Packet.net's sponsorship)
<samueldr> definitely can't :)
<samueldr> meanwhile, still waiting on the renegade elite to ship, should be this week :)

<makefu> gchristensen: great to hear!
<makefu> i will be asking for one of their Industry Displays and one m2, both are rk3399. that means the support is already somewhat there
<gchristensen> oh do you have to ask for specific hw?
<gchristensen> I was assuming they intended on contributing a specific thing
orivej has joined #nixos-aarch64
<makefu> apparently not, i got a mail from them where they ask what they should send
<gchristensen> cool
<makefu> i also asked for 8 boards for a workshop at the 35c3, lets see how this goes
<gchristensen> nice
<makefu> worst case is that they say no
<gchristensen> exactly
<samueldr> I should maybe ask for an RK3288-based board as from what I've seen from libre.computer, they're a bit troublesome
<sphalerite> yay 32-bit stuff
<samueldr> oh, it's not the one I had in mind then
<gchristensen> samueldr: good on you, seeking out pain :)
<samueldr> 3328
<sphalerite> samueldr: 3328 maybe?
<samueldr> off by one (hundred)
<sphalerite> yeah totally not confusing model numbers x)
<samueldr> I already have a RK3288 device (chromebit)
<sphalerite> oh yeah
<samueldr> (for which I'm straying from the right path and using archlinuxarm on)
<sphalerite> haha
<makefu> samueldr: it seems like the company behind libre.computer actually is firefly
<samueldr> they're not
<samueldr> they're using firefly for rockchip hardware
<makefu> ah, okay
<samueldr> they have other partners for the other boards
<makefu> https://libre.computer/products/boards/roc-rk3328-cc/ < at least that one has the firefly stamp on it
<samueldr> yes, it's not a hidden fact (AFAIK)
<samueldr> e.g. their post announcing the renegade elite hee: https://libre.computer/2018/07/12/renegade-elite-indiegogo-campaign-launch/
<makefu> the "prototype" product at indiegogo looks suspiciosly like http://shop.t-firefly.com/goods.php?id=85
<samueldr> it is, AFAIUI both sides sell the product once developed
<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?)
<makefu> development is so fast these days
