04:26 <cwt[m]> Interesting, looks like OpenSUSE is using kernel 6.2-rc8 for VF2 image https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/RISCV:/Factory:/Contrib:/StarFive:/VisionFive2/standard/src/

06:43 <davidlt[m]> They probably forward ported it + whatever is already upstreamed.

06:45 <davidlt[m]> There are two things on the kernel side that are blocking basic support now IIUC. That's clk and DT patchsets.

06:46 <davidlt[m]> If that gets approved we basically have patches that are needed to boot and have minimal system.

06:48 <cwt[m]> They have 58 patches

07:28 <davidlt[m]> A quick glance (it's morning) it seems that this is mostly patches that were sent upstream.

07:28 <davidlt[m]> A good chunk of it is already merged into 6.3.

07:29 <davidlt[m]> I plan to do something similar, but still want to wait a bit until more bits get approved.

07:30 <davidlt[m]> There are still gonna be issues, e.g. there is no QPSI driver in Linux, which means there will be no way to update firmware on SPI-NOR directly from the userspace.

07:30 <davidlt[m]> Nick pinged me, binutils 2.40 is building now.

07:32 <davidlt[m]> cwt: is there already OpenSUSE image (directly from them) that could be tested on VF2?

07:35 <cwt[m]> davidlt[m]: here https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/RISCV:/Factory:/Contrib:/StarFive:/VisionFive2/images/

07:42 <davidlt[m]> Another win! StarFive MMC driver landed in linux-next.

10:13 <Esmil> davidlt[m]: ..and unfortunately they're broken :( https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAJM55Z8gpBDu9818GPLRYJ9DBa+NfXW0uo76_bkwWm6RS1S9wg@mail.gmail.com/

12:24 <davidlt[m]> Esmil: IIUC they might be working on syscon driver.

12:27 <davidlt[m]> Is this a hard dependency on syscon driver? If that's true the driver is basically not usable until syscon lands.
