Ericson2314: how would i get a cross gdb out of pkgsCross? a dumb pkgsCross.vc4.gdb complains about is not supported on ‘vc4-none’, refusing to evaluate
<Ericson2314>
so you should subscribe to that, you will want it at some point then
<clever>
done!
<Ericson2314>
clever: I think the problem is vc4 is custom fork of stuff?
<clever>
yeah
<Ericson2314>
you might need to add more conditional source
<clever>
it looks like i will need to fork gdb, and then extend it to support vc4
<Ericson2314>
clever: the person that made the binutils fork didn't do that already?
<clever>
i dont think they got to gdb, because there was no way to attach to the target or get core files
<clever>
another crazy plan i have, is to add vc4 to qemu
<Ericson2314>
clever: hahaha nice
<clever>
Ericson2314: the qemu plan has 2 main uses
<Ericson2314>
both those sound very useful
<clever>
a: just to be able to debug things in a more sane env
<clever>
b: to emulate the mask rom, and document its behavior better
<clever>
the mask rom tries to access the SD card, and adding that to the existing emulator looks like a nightmare
<clever>
Ericson2314: for example, the official docs explain some of the bits in the boot control OTP, but other bits are just briefly described, and some bits will brick the pi
<clever>
and being one time programmable, you cant fix it
<clever>
but, if i can emulate, i can freely mess with them!
<Ericson2314>
clever: crazy how much undocumented stuff there is out there

Is there any reason we don't have the default stdenv unpack hooks knowning about bzip2? It appears to be better optimized for our needs than tar.gz, since it packs better for the binary caches and hashed mirrors: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/79127
<{^_^}>
#79127 (by bhipple, 25 minutes ago, open): stdenv: default unpack can unpack bzip2 as well
<samueldr>
bhipple: *.tar.* would catch most?
<samueldr>
well, all, since it's only for tar files
<samueldr>
unless you make somefile.nottar.bz2 be a tar
