13:38 <f_> I should have 2 more Pi2 cases laying around for the new boards :)

13:41 <f_> Also it would be funny to port these to postmarketOS too

13:42 <f_> Funny because these boards aren't even available for purchase right now..and postmarketOS is about increasing the longevity of EOL devices :P

13:42 <f_> (and running doom on your smartwatch)

13:45 <f_> (and a nextcloud server on your phone)

13:45 <f_> (can't think of other funny usecases with postmarketOS)

14:03 <narmstrong> those new boards should be rather easy to support in PMOS since u-boot in on the spi rom !

14:03 <f_> postmarketOS amlogic port speedrun

14:03 <narmstrong> And why isn't there a generic aarch64 uefi device ?

14:03 <narmstrong> it would be even faster

14:03 <f_> ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

14:04 <f_> It was easy to port lepotato to pmOS too

14:04 <f_> less than a day to port.

14:04 <narmstrong> f_: do not tempt me!

14:04 <f_> what?

14:04 <f_> What did I do?

14:04 <narmstrong> to do the port

14:04 <narmstrong> in speedrun

14:04 <f_> Nahh let me do it.

14:05 <f_> I'm really bad at speedruns anyway :P

14:05 <narmstrong> I think it would be time to have a generic aarch64 uefi

14:05 <f_> Yeah there's a generic x86 uefi port so sounds like a good idea

14:05 <f_> Just need to say it in #postmarketos oftc

14:06 <f_> or work on it

14:06 <narmstrong> I'll probable try to hack something, it if works I'll say it on #postmarketos

14:06 <f_> narmstrong: but I think it would be better to have postmarketOS with U-Boot

14:07 <f_> so that U-Boot gets upgraded with postmarketOS

14:07 <f_> That's how it's done on some chromebooks IIRC

14:07 <narmstrong> sure, both could exist like it's done in armbian

14:07 <f_> (although you have to flash the ROM manually)

14:08 <f_> Could try doing it for lafrite too..for now wiki just says that if you want to use pmOS U-Boot erase the SPI chip with flashrom

14:08 <f_> not really ideal.

14:09 <narmstrong> yep

14:09 <f_> Could hack something in pmbootstrap/mkinitfs

14:10 <f_> so that it automatically flashes the SPI (with a prompt so that the user can cancel)

14:15 <f_> narmstrong: IIRC you know some pmOS maintainers right?

14:15 <f_> Some of them are working on Qualcomm support and at least one of them is from Linaro IIRC

14:16 <narmstrong> f_: yep caleb and konradybcio

14:16 <f_> Right :)

14:17 <f_> If you want I can review your MR but as I'm not a postmarketOS maintainer (despite the fact that I maintain the amlogic kernel package and a few devices) I won't be able to approve it.

14:18 <f_> on a separate note; the folks at linaro and others did a really great job at supporting Qualcomm SoCs

14:19 <f_> so much so that one day I decided to use mainline on my daily driver

14:19 <f_> *phone

14:19 <f_> It's a phone :P

14:19 <f_> So far it's incredible what they've done

14:19 <f_> still not perfect but getting there!

14:20 <phh> hum i tried doing a pmos port (sorry for the infidelity but that was on rockchip devices), spent 3 hours and it wouldn't build images without any error message other than "Failed generating image". considering the kernel does all the hw compat, it felt that was 2h30 too much

14:21 <f_> the folks at #postmarketos are usually helpful if you're encountering errors with pmbootstrap

14:21 <f_> But first thing you should do is run pmbootstrap log

14:22 <phh> well yes of course

14:22 <f_> There should be something before that error

14:22 <f_> Either way I never got that error when porting to my set-top box and lepotato/lafrite

14:26 <phh> k thanks for the feedback I'll try again

14:26 <f_> Upgrade your pmbootstrap first

14:26 <f_> then try pulling pmaports again

14:31 <narmstrong> yeah it puzzling at first, i first did an edge port but there was an error in the packages then i switched to the release and it worked, but it's not easy to find what are the issues

14:31 <narmstrong> and most of the time it's a checksum issue...

14:32 <phh> narmstrong: ah thanks for that feedback. i was indeed on edge, assuming that edge had a ci

14:34 <f_> edge does have a CI.

14:34 <f_> https://build.postmarketos.org/

14:35 <narmstrong> sure, but when you're on it you don't want to wait for the next day to have the packages sorted out...

14:36 <f_> So there's another CI for MRs

14:36 <f_> GitLab runners actually

14:36 <f_> and you can run the CI scripts on your host with `pmbootstrap ci`

14:42 <f_> win 14

14:42 <f_> ^ usual IRC client mistakes :P sorry

15:36 <f_> I realised 0xd900a800+ was just a ddrs struct

15:37 <f_> is it?
