any way it's EoL - so that's something unpleasant but really not fatal
<davidlt[m]>
Yeah, I get impression that the drivers depend on OTP having AUTOBOOT set to ON.
<davidlt[m]>
Sadly there is no way to change that.

Thats really not obvious from there datasheets...

Happy and healthy new year to everyone!

About a month ago I asked a question about using QEMU's virtio-vga for a graphical boot process, which never got answered, but accidentally killed all conversations in this channel.
<iooi>
I am sorry for that!
<iooi>
So maybe let me introduce myself first: I am a member of the GNUstep development team and want to help the GNUstep community to get GNUstep ported to RISC-V.
<iooi>
A part of GNUstep, GNUstep-GUI has graphical user interface parts, which need a graphical representation on the screen. Hence I am asking on how to use QEMU's virtio-vga for that purpose.
<iooi>
Using "real hardware" like SiFive's HiFive Unmatched is not an real option here, given the relativelly high price and short supply of this board.
<iooi>
So the only viable option I see here would be to use QEMU and its virtio-vga for that purpose.
<iooi>
to boot. Which worked in so far that I've got a successful boot. QEMU opened a console-like window for which I selected "View" > "serial0". This "console" showed all the messages of the boot process but nothing related to virtio-vga drivers or such. But then again Fedora-Developer-Rawhide-20200108 might already be to old for that.
