hurrah! I got my aarch64 chromebook to boot from the super-standard hydra-built 4.20 kernel!
<gchristensen>
yay!
<samueldr>
:D
<samueldr>
thefloweringash: you still booting through standard OEM-built depthcharge?
<thefloweringash>
yep
<samueldr>
I'm kinda annoyed at how gru_scarlet doesn't have much details written-up online for such shenanigans
<samueldr>
(acer chrome tab)
<samueldr>
like, I know that there won't be any problems getting it working, but I would like to see a tear-down and location of the SPI flash
<thefloweringash>
since they're both gru, do the details about kevin apply to scarlet as well?
<samueldr>
99% sure yes
<samueldr>
like grub bob too
<thefloweringash>
ah right, actual physical differences
<samueldr>
the thing is I'd like to hack away and change the firmware :3
<samueldr>
but since bricks are... quite guaranteed in my case, I'd have liked to see if it's an issue or not to attach to it and reflash
<samueldr>
but it seems no one got it apart in pictures :(

right, the usb-c thing, hadn't really rhought about it
<samueldr>
I'd have to read about it, to see if it can handle a device which cannot boot

>> The functionality to flash the AP firmware image over case closed debugging is currently only supported by the ChromiumOS version of flashrom, so you will need to have that built. The easiest way to do so is to just setup the ChromiumOS SDK.

Do gru boards support case closed debugging?
<samrose_>
it blows me away that while nixos has been one of the most difficult/complex software ecosystems for me to learn, it's also made me around 2-3 times more productive than any other packaging/configuration/container/etc system I've ever worked with. I don't think I would have ever gotten this far, this fast with anything else I can think o

people who discount ARM are hilarious
<gchristensen>
it is so obvious they're eating intel's lunch and will continue to do so
<LnL>
oh yeah, the time of "arm is just for phones" is definitively over
<gchristensen>
definitely!
<gchristensen>
this person is yabbering at me about how ARM will never make it in to real HPC deployments
<samueldr>
most times I heard things like that it's people conflating phone CPUs (with tight TDP budget) with Xeon class hardware :/
<exarkun1>
People might underestimate ARM and Intel might be in trouble but purely numerically, ARM Holdings '18Q4 revenue: US$140M; Intel '18Q3 revenue: US$19.1B
<exarkun1>
(intel has a very large lunch)
<gchristensen>
exarkun1: you're missing a very huge detail
<gchristensen>
which is that ARM doesn't produce anything physical, so 140M is purely IP licenses.
<gchristensen>
so yes, intel's lunch is very big
<samueldr>
in addition (unless it changed) intel might even rake in money from fabbing ARM for/from other businesses :)
<gchristensen>
but to continue the food metaphor, it is apples and oranges in terms of revenues
<gchristensen>
intel does make money fabbing ARM :)
<samueldr>
orange is a telco and apple makes phones, literally orange to apples?
<gchristensen>

"one or several V-Raptor microserver can then be inserted into a PCIe slot of the mainboard which supports up to 32 nodes on 2U rack size, so that would be a total of 24 x 32 = 768 Arm Cortex A53 cores"
