hi guys, are there instructions handy to run nixos on roc-rk3399-pc somewhere?
<womfoo>
i found {makefu,samueldr}/ROC-RK3399-PC-overlay but this gives me 4.2mb combined.img and im not really sure how to use it properly.
<womfoo>
all i tried is dding this on top of the aarch64 sdimage from hydra but i couldnt see any UART output or LEDs turn on. UART/LEDs work when im on firefly ubuntu sdimage.
<womfoo>
im still new to arm sbcs so please excuse these basic questions :-)

tilpner: thanks and yes i did come across that but it was focused on using a tool for flashing firmware from a pc
<womfoo>
vs creating a bootable sdcard
<tilpner>
I don't have any rk3399 devices, I just linked that because it was using the overlay
<tilpner>
If there's a community channel for your device, they'd probably know better
<womfoo>
no worries. im just getting confused with this flashing terminology esp when the docs mention partitions.
<womfoo>
last time i flashed something was 'firmware' for simpler devices like dvd-writer :-D
<sphalerite>
womfoo: yeah rockchip calls it flashing even when the flash is just part of an sd card
<sphalerite>
should be harmless :)

sphalerite: yes indeed
<samueldr>
womfoo`: right now I wasn't able to boot NixOS on the ROC-RK3399-PC; still waiting on news from libre.computer for mainline progress :(
<samueldr>
as for using it... damn me, I didn't write it up, it's probably written with `dd if=... of=... bs=512 seek=64`
<samueldr>
u-boot will work
<samueldr>
last time I tested our mainline image (with latest kernel) it booted up to stage-2 and froze
<samueldr>
didn't really debug as I am waiting on a confirmation that it should or shouldn't work

hi friends, do we trust DigitalKiwi sufficiently to be a trused aarch64 community build user?

I don't love the security model there :)
<gchristensen>
for example making people untrusted but giving them shell access means they can't poison the store with fake drvs, but also they have shell access

I might be able to forward on a code to get the 11" pinebook if anybody is in need of an aarch64 laptop-like-thing to experiment, hack, and learn with
<samueldr>
finally got mine (code) in the same batch I guess
<gchristensen>
it isn't mine to give away, I don't have a code
<gchristensen>
but this other person might give it up
<samueldr>
(which now makes me think, with the appropriate tweaks and firmware installed to the board it would be possible to have a universal image that boots on the pinephone and pinebook)
<gchristensen>
:O
<samueldr>
both based on the same base hardware sopine/pine a64-lts
<samueldr>
the main issue is making it useful on both
<samueldr>
which, if the device handles providing the firmware, + passes the appropriate device tree, then the hardware will be detected appropriately
<gchristensen>
nice

hopes the post hasn't lost the package

still stuck between cities since last week :(

ouch :/

samueldr: no worries. are the libre.computer folks responsive? i would love to help test or join an irc/slack if there is one.
<samueldr>
there's the #librecomputer channel, womfoo, though I haven't poked 'em lately, waiting on news elsewhere (e.g. their forums)
