03:48 <Armbian-Discord> <M​anoftheSea> do you have to do the 64 sector offset in SPI?

03:48 <Armbian-Discord> <M​anoftheSea> I'm reading conflicting info on Gentoo's wiki.

03:48 <Armbian-Discord> <M​anoftheSea> That the magic header can be anywhere in the first 32 sectors

05:37 <Armbian-Discord> <T​onymac32> I just nand-sata-installed 😐

05:50 <Armbian-Discord> <I​gorPec> its armbian-install now 🙂

16:08 <Armbian-Discord> <T​onymac32> New paint, same cracked foundation? Or a rewrite? 👀😆

16:10 <Armbian-Discord> <I​gorPec> no rewrite, who would do that? 😦 Extended to UEFI

16:10 <Armbian-Discord> <I​gorPec> we try now one year to rewrite armbian-config with a proper fundation

16:12 <Armbian-Discord> <I​gorPec> https://forum.armbian.com/events/event/15-armbian-config-refactoring/

17:48 <Armbian-Discord> <M​anoftheSea> Gonna try helios64 with blobless TF-A and u-boot. Apparently, the latest distro-provided toolchain still chokes on rwx segments and something about a LOAD not covering a PHDR.

17:49 <Armbian-Discord> <M​anoftheSea> linaro's provided gcc 10.3 does not have this problem.

17:52 <Armbian-Discord> <M​anoftheSea> grumble... uboot doesn't have a helios defconfig.

18:20 <Armbian-Discord> <M​anoftheSea> I have determined the armbian dts's for uboot and linux kernel for helios64 do not match.

18:25 <Armbian-Discord> <M​anoftheSea> under armbian

18:25 <Armbian-Discord> <M​anoftheSea> And that the 6.1 linux mainline dts is more functional than the armbian linux 5.15 dts

18:25 <Armbian-Discord> <I​gorPec> nobody maintains this, so this is expected

18:25 <Armbian-Discord> <M​anoftheSea> I know.

18:26 <Armbian-Discord> <I​gorPec> we recently find out that we are (silently) overwriting dts

18:26 <Armbian-Discord> <M​anoftheSea> I'm just "thinking out loud", and have no expectation of anyone else fixing armbian for it.

18:26 <Armbian-Discord> <I​gorPec> yes 🙂

18:26 <Armbian-Discord> <M​anoftheSea> I'll want to do it myself.

18:27 <Armbian-Discord> <I​gorPec> you have helios64 right?

18:27 <Armbian-Discord> <M​anoftheSea> yes

18:27 <Armbian-Discord> <I​gorPec> ok, then it makes sense. i never got my sample

18:55 <Armbian-Discord> <T​onymac32> I have one as well, but I never update it 👀

21:42 <Armbian-Discord> <m​onkaBlyat> @NicoD i can get armbian to boot on a mekotronics r58x

22:18 <Armbian-Discord> <M​anoftheSea> It appears to work to write a GPT formatted SD card, with a partition at 64-16383, Code EF02 (BIOS), named IDBLOADER; a partition at 16384-32k, Code B000 (u-boot bootloader) named UBOOT, and an ESP.

22:18 <Armbian-Discord> <M​anoftheSea> On the other hand, u-boot was crashing out, so I'm not sure whether that's an issue with the partition table, the build, the helios64 dtb, etc... Plenty of ways to go wrong.

22:18 <Armbian-Discord> <M​anoftheSea> But what's nice about labeling the partitions is that they're not writing blobs to unpartitioned space.

23:33 <Armbian-Discord> <N​icoD> Nice job.

23:57 <Armbian-Discord> <M​anoftheSea> I'll have to try a couple more things:

23:57 <Armbian-Discord> <M​anoftheSea> - fixed ESP filesystem

23:57 <Armbian-Discord> <M​anoftheSea> - MBR partitioned disk

23:57 <Armbian-Discord> <M​anoftheSea> - gpt with armbian - built u-boot

23:57 <Armbian-Discord> <M​anoftheSea> And then I can start digging into the dts differences...

23:58 <Armbian-Discord> <M​anoftheSea> Though, it looks like the rk3399 patches aren't necessary anymore
