12:19 <maz> amstan: holly crap! I remember running KVM on that exact device, and it wasn't pretty (Cortex-A15 r0p4 has so many interesting bugs...). Good thing I killed 32bit support in 5.6 or so!

20:25 <psydroid> I've got both of my ARM SBCs, an Nvidia Jetson Nano and an Orange Pi Win Plus, up and running again with Debian 12.1 this week

20:26 <psydroid> I was wondering if any effort has been put into mainlining the kernel bits for Jetson Nano, as I just took the kernel from Jetpack (Ubuntu) for that

20:26 <psydroid> I know this should be Nvidia's job, but they don't seem to be very interested, so I wonder if anyone else has been working on it

20:28 <Xogium> in all fairness, there are a good bunch of manufacturers that act the same way. And also given nvidia's track record with their gpu and linux kernel support, I'm not exactly surprised they wouldn't bother

20:32 <Xogium> doesn't seem like people have worked on it. At least I can't see any device tree file for it anywhere

20:34 <psydroid> alright, that's good to know at least

20:36 <Xogium> no mention of it on internet also

20:36 <psydroid> the device has gone end-of-life, so I think this would be a good way to extend its life using mainline software

20:37 <psydroid> yes, I looked a bit on the internet and couldn't find any mention of it anywhere

20:37 <Xogium> yeah thing is porting the SoC and such will be a lot of work

20:37 <Xogium> I've also not a clue if the AI things would even work, not to mention the gpu

20:38 <psydroid> so maybe this would be an ideal device to get my hands dirty with

20:39 <Xogium> cause you won,t just need to port the board, you'll also need to port the SoC and maybe the gpu, and all the AI bit and pieces

20:39 <Xogium> still, if you have the knowledge, I'd say why not ?

20:39 <psydroid> I have graphical output using whatever default driver it loads, which I think is nvgpu

20:39 <Xogium> yeah but my point is, they might have patched it in their kernel

20:40 <Xogium> or maybe this is enough of a common gpu that it would work

20:40 <psydroid> I'm not exactly experienced, but I know C, ARM assembly and Linux (2.6) kernel internals

20:40 <psydroid> yeah, I will look into all of that

20:41 <psydroid> I've got the sources to their kernel too

20:41 <Xogium> oof 2.6, sounds like you will need some up to date knowledge ;) but heh, this is already much better than me

20:42 <psydroid> https://developer.nvidia.com/embedded/linux-tegra-r3274

20:43 <psydroid> well, I did write a driver for an operating systems class a few years ago for a much more modern kernel

20:44 <psydroid> but I haven't read any newer book that deals with 5.x or 6.x kernels

20:44 <psydroid> yeah, I just asked because I didn't want to do any duplicate work
