09:08 <angerman> why do all RK chips default to 1500000baud? I keep having trouble making 1500k work.

09:09 <angerman> best part keeps being that the ATF BL3 keeps sending at 115200.

09:27 <LinuxHackerman> good question. I've often wondered too.

09:33 <angerman> I understand that 1.5M is faster if you want to transfer files, but it's just odd.

09:34 <DigitalKiwi> gotta go fast

09:34 <angerman> and I have some output from my helios64 with a stock kernel and their uboot (+ a tiny patch).

09:35 <angerman> https://gist.github.com/angerman/56a358fb00e49af9607500db6413afec

09:35 <angerman> meh... serverip, what.

09:36 <angerman> > ** No partition table - mmc 0 **

09:36 <{^_^}> error: syntax error, unexpected '*', at (string):440:1

09:36 <angerman> ohh, maybe it doesn't like my gpt imge.

09:41 <thefloweringash> angerman: are you sure that dtb exists?

09:41 <thefloweringash> "Skipping nixos-default for failure retrieving fdt"

09:43 <angerman> thefloweringash: good question.

09:48 <angerman> thefloweringash: I wonder where it gets the idea from that it should pull that one.

09:49 <thefloweringash> uboot should have an env var for "fdtname", which is typically set at uboot configure time

09:50 <angerman> I basically just went with my rockpi4 setup and did a 1:1 copy with mild amendments :D

09:51 <angerman> ahh, the defconfig has it: CONFIG_DEFAULT_FDT_FILE="rockchip/rk3399-helios64.dtb"

09:51 <angerman> but we did this

09:51 <angerman> https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/7V78wJx9/

09:52 alp has quit [Remote host closed the connection]

09:52 alp has joined #nixos-aarch64

09:52 <thefloweringash> oh, oops, "fdtfile", not "fdtname"

09:53 <thefloweringash> as I understand it, both uboot and linux have their own fdt database. that fdt file was enough to set up uboot to talk to the serial and storage. the linux one is often a superset to enable all the peripherals

09:54 <thefloweringash> looks like mainline doesn't have a dtb for it yet? https://github.com/torvalds/linux/tree/master/arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip

09:55 <angerman> ahhh, the rockpi is in there. Hmm...

10:03 sds2 has joined #nixos-aarch64

10:03 <angerman> guess I could just throw that into the kernel as apatch and hope for the best

10:04 <thefloweringash> or possibly this patch? https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-rockchip/list/?series=364739

10:07 <thefloweringash> linux kernel development is a maze of twisty passages all alike, but I think that has been merged somewhere: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-rockchip/2020-November/022981.html

10:09 <thefloweringash> so I guess linux 5.11 will JustWork

10:09 <thefloweringash> and at some point the dtb file name became rk3399-kobol-helios64.dtb

10:10 <angerman> yea, I'll go with the patch from above, let's see if that works :D

16:45 <red[evilred]> but my new account didn't have access to any arm machine

16:45 <red[evilred]> s

16:45 <red[evilred]> so I need to get back to their support again over that

16:53 <gchristensen> sphalerite: 2 c1.large.arm's with ubuntu?

16:55 <sphalerite> gchristensen: if those are the thunderxs, one with ubuntu and one pointing at http://boot.linuxhacker.men/boot.ipxe please

16:56 <sphalerite> err netboot.linuxhacker.men

16:56 <sphalerite> red[evilred]: yeah I had that as well a while back…

17:02 <sphalerite> red[evilred]: did you use the "nixos" voucher for $25 credit?

17:02 <red[evilred]> I did not

17:02 <angerman> appears the kernel is stuck during serial activation :-/ meh.

17:02 <sphalerite> can recommend ;)

17:02 <red[evilred]> do I have to do that when I crfeate the account?

17:03 <red[evilred]> or when I first commission someting

17:03 <red[evilred]> or ...

17:03 <sphalerite> red[evilred]: I don't _think_ so, I think there's a place in the settings or something to put in vouchers

17:04 <red[evilred]> Done!@

17:04 <red[evilred]> thank you!

17:05 <red[evilred]> whoa

17:05 <red[evilred]> is that reccuring?

17:05 <sphalerite> no

17:05 <red[evilred]> the wording "the first of each month" had that implication

17:05 <red[evilred]> shame :-)

17:05 <sphalerite> wait what?

17:05 <sphalerite> where did it say that?

17:05 <sphalerite> Maybe it does recur?

17:06 <red[evilred]> on the settings page

17:08 <sphalerite> red[evilred]: oh right no, I don't think it does. AFAIU it just gets subtracted from your bill which is generated on the 1st.

19:56 <red[evilred]> New accounts only get access to specific datacenters (I assume because they're trying to spread the load or something)

23:09 <red[evilred]> ... and since I have my video streaming in via a video capture card... I should be able to do the whole thing hands off

23:12 <samueldr> get a serial adapter!

23:12 <samueldr> easier to copy/paste logs :)

23:19 <DigitalKiwi> is a parallel adapter a thing

23:20 <samueldr> yes

23:20 <samueldr> but that's because "serial adapter" is an euphemism for the actual term

23:20 <samueldr> that I forgot

23:20 <red[evilred]> UART

23:21 <samueldr> UART isn't it either

23:21 <red[evilred]> I have a few, but iirc the Pi is probably 1.8v

23:21 <samueldr> nah

23:21 <red[evilred]> and I only have 3.3v and 5v

23:21 <samueldr> 3.3

23:21 <red[evilred]> oh - then I do have one then - excellent

23:22 <red[evilred]> I'm just building a root image

23:22 <samueldr> UART is also used "wrong" in those cases

23:22 <red[evilred]> (doing a different distro before I try nixos)

23:22 <red[evilred]> UART is the term for the interface

23:22 <red[evilred]> I guess USB <-> UART bridge

23:22 <red[evilred]> would be how I would describe ity
