<rwmjones>
is there any file in /sys (eg) which shows the uboot version?
<rwmjones>
anyway, let me try updating the kernel
<davidlt[m]>
No, just on the serial
<rwmjones>
it wants to install 5.18.8-200.0.riscv64.fc33
<davidlt[m]>
Updating the kernel will not work, well it works, but new extlinux.conf is not created
<rwmjones>
understood, I'm expecting to hand edit that after the update
<rwmjones>
is that a good version?
<davidlt[m]>
Yes, manually update that, or just write a new disk image into NVMe and configure things again.
<rwmjones>
sure
<davidlt[m]>
The kernel version is good.
<rwmjones>
ok here goes
<rwmjones>
after that I'm going to play with temp sensors
<davidlt[m]>
Something broke with extlinux.conf update, but I cannot recall what. Anyways we should switch to GRUB2 instead, but that one is missing a couple of patchsets in upstream (LoadFile2 and UEFI boot hard id EFI protocol which was just ratified).
<rwmjones>
tbh I prefer extlinux (even more if it was still maintained)
<rwmjones>
it's so much less crazy than grub
<davidlt[m]>
Those should work out-of-the-box, but if you want to identify better which is CPU which is MB, just use that snippet from the README.md
<davidlt[m]>
Yes, it is, but we cannot use as all other arches use GRUB2.
<rwmjones>
sure :-(
<davidlt[m]>
systemd-boot is an option too, Fedora supports it IIRC.
<davidlt[m]>
We have 260+ patches in Fedora for GRUB2 :)
<davidlt[m]>
I think OpenSUSE has 220+ patches.
<davidlt[m]>
Fu Wei showed it works with Fedora/RISCV, but two things missing: LoadFile2 protocol for initrd and EFI call for boot hard it (Fu Wei used /chosen node to communicated that to GRUB2 IIRC).
<davidlt[m]>
Now we have something ratified by RVI, but no one yet sent a patch, I think.
<rwmjones>
davidlt[m]: is there a point to using the watchdog?
<davidlt[m]>
rwmjones: no, it's broken, well not broken, but that's how DA9063 OTP is configured
<davidlt[m]>
It cannot reboot, just power down
<davidlt[m]>
sensors, heartbeat LED and using firmware from the SPI might be the most interesting bits
<davidlt[m]>
Note that if you remove fdtdir from extlinux entry it will get a DT from the firmware instead, but that one is not fully up to date
<rwmjones>
we seem to be updated
<rwmjones>
I see the green light on the motherboard giving a kind of "double flash"
<rwmjones>
is that the heartbeat?

If you configured it, yes :)
