5 AM
<davidlt[m]>
let see what happened
<davidlt[m]>
Btw, /boot needs to be FAT if we use UEFI at the end
<davidlt[m]>
yes, you need bootable flag on the partition
<davidlt[m]>
the problem is that the 2 partitions at the beginning are RAW with firmware
<davidlt[m]>
by default U-Boot will got with <interface> 0:0 for /boot
<davidlt[m]>
unless there is a flag
<davidlt[m]>
I got an imagine, took 4:30 hours :/
* davidlt[m]
goes to look for coffee, 5 AM
<djdelorie>
if the firmware remains on the mmc, can we use a third partition on the nvme for UEFI, so that /boot can be ext4?
<davidlt[m]>
Yes, but only for now, IIRC EFI requires FAT
<djdelorie>
right, I mean, sda1 is fat for efi, sda2 is boot, sda3 is root
<sorear>
hfs+? :p
<davidlt[m]>
ah yes
<davidlt[m]>
/boot/efi is FAT, but /boot can be ext4

<rwmjones|afk>
is /boot/efi actually used?
rwmjones|afk is now known as rwmjones
<davidlt[m]>
rwmjones|afk: not today
<davidlt[m]>
So basically there is one patchset which is not yet merged upstream that finished GRUB2 porting (or how we load initrd on EFI systems for riscv64)
<davidlt[m]>
If we pull that patch + some fixes we can boot with EFI the same way as any other Fedora arch does
<davidlt[m]>
I feel like touching Fedora GRUB2 package might be a minefield, but that's something you can fix with enough hours fixing stuff
<rwmjones>
davidlt[m]: so djdelorie had a problem getting uboot to read extlinux off nvme 0:3 (I'm using 0:1)
<davidlt[m]>
legacy boot flag is required for GPT partition
<rwmjones>
by the time I went to bed last night we hadn't really worked out if the problem was uboot itself or just a wrong uboot variable
<rwmjones>
I'm using MBR, not sure if dj is using GPT or MBR
<davidlt[m]>
uboot will go for <interface> 0:0 (disk 0, part 0) and think it's /boot
<davidlt[m]>
unless any partition has a flag in GPT record
<rwmjones>
ok that could be the problem, I'll ask him later
<davidlt[m]>
well, everything is GPT :)
<davidlt[m]>
Firmware looks for partitions based on GPT UUIDs
<davidlt[m]>
Attribute value is 0000000000000004. Set fields are:
<davidlt[m]>
So it's compressing and uploading is the next step
<organizedglobals>
<davidlt[m]> "that's soooo faster to flash..." <- the SDUC spec goes up to 128TB and starts at almost a GB/s, wonder how their write durability and perf is compared to NVMe SSDs.. with 2TB microSD cards, its hard to imagine they can possibly be as dense
<organizedglobals>
can probably do a tiered storage cache with the NVMe using SD as cold storage/archive
<davidlt[m]>
most likely those microSDs will not have any DRAM cache, so will not be as fast as PCIe Gen 4 NVMe :)
<davidlt[m]>
It's probably a single PCIe Gen 3 line or lower

Note, that dist repos are not synced to dl.fedoraproject.org
<rwmjones>
thanks, will try it later
<davidlt[m]>
so 3 images
<davidlt[m]>
one is full one (boot from MMC everything), one is firmware which you flash to MMC or SPI-NOR (one day, not now) and another one is simply /boot and /

if I've done a dnf update, do I need the new boot/root images?
davidlt has joined #fedora-riscv
<davidlt[m]>
Probably not, but if you want a clean setup :)
<djdelorie>
I'm gone all day today, I'll try to test it sometime over the weekend

Netflix, Terminator Genesis?

Now let's boot the Unmatched with Fedora and have some fun :)
