04:41 <yootis> I just installed litex using the Quick start guide, and running lxsim throws an error -- importlib.metadata.PackageNiotFoundError even though importing litex from Python works. Any ideas?

05:31 <sajattack[m]> <_florent_> "somlo: I'm not sure to remember..." <- I did a very naive attempt at replicating this (copying a riscv64 debian rootfs to the initramfs folder, deleting a bunch of cruft, and following the instructions to generate boot.bin), couldn't get it working, is anyone else planning to try?

05:38 <sajattack[m]> also worth noting I was trying with a single core and no fpu, since I still can't get a working bitstream from my installed copy of litex

07:45 <sajattack[m]> ack!

07:45 <sajattack[m]> I got it working kinda

07:46 <sajattack[m]> no sdcard, so I didn't load install 100MB or whatever of systemd

07:46 <sajattack[m]> but I have busybox as init, and all the debian jazz like apt, though no networking makes it a bit pointless

08:19 <sajattack[m]> it seems to break a bit when I add the inittab

09:36 <sajattack[m]> systemd is incredibly slow to boot

09:38 <sajattack[m]> I wish my litex wasn't so broken so I could rebuild a faster soc

09:40 <sajattack[m]> maybe the version on my other pc works

11:16 <sajattack[m]> it do

12:24 <sajattack[m]> does this mean OOM or what? https://bpa.st/DGCQ

16:37 <cr1901> >systemd is incredibly slow to boot

16:37 <cr1901> define "slow"?

17:32 <sajattack[m]> with the single core and no fpu, it sets the hostname and then stops outputting to the console for at least half an hour (at which point I killed it)

17:33 <sajattack[m]> with the quad core fpu variant, OOM before it even gets to systemd

17:38 <cr1901> That... doesn't sound ideal/right :o

17:41 <sajattack[m]> keep in mind I'm loading the filesystem into ram

17:42 <sajattack[m]> but it's only around 100MB

17:42 <sajattack[m]> and I have 1GB of RAM

17:43 <sajattack[m]> I also switched to opensbi on the one that's OOM'ing

17:44 <sajattack[m]> the single core/no-fpu/bbl, I almost wondered if it tried to switch to activate another tty and lost uart or something

17:51 <sajattack[m]> aha, seems the trick (for whatever reason) is to use the quad core fpu with the single core's bbl+dts (such that it only runs a single core)

17:53 <sajattack[m]> so maybe something wrong with opensbi or maybe something wrong with 4 cores sharing memory

17:55 <sajattack[m]> helps if your debootstrap has a root password set I guess

18:00 <tnt> does your devicetree specify the whole ram ? do you see it in the boot message ?

18:02 <sajattack[m]> yes

18:02 <sajattack[m]> I tried setting a smaller RAM too in case that got it to use less than the full memory

18:03 <sajattack[m]> no luck

18:06 <sajattack[m]> 0.000000] Memory: 940300K/1046528K available (4320K kernel code, 4709K rwdata, 2048K rodata, 73835K init, 278K bss, 106228K reserved, 0K cma-reserved)

19:55 <sajattack[m]> <sajattack[m]> "helps if your debootstrap has..." <- guh, every image I've created attempting to rectify this has failed in a bizarre way

21:48 <sajattack[m]> I'm guessing the issue is my device tree is full of lies and I don't even know it

21:49 <sajattack[m]> lots of timer interrupt kernel panics

21:51 <sajattack[m]> and also udev seemed mad so I uninstalled it

21:52 <sajattack[m]> hmm, now my /dev/ttyLXU0 and /dev/hvc0 systemd start jobs timed out

21:52 <sajattack[m]> do those need udev?

21:55 <sajattack[m]> I always thought the u in udev stood for usb lol

21:55 <sajattack[m]> seems not

22:44 <yootis> I have a fresh install of litex, done by following the quick start guide, but no matter which thing I try to do, it fails, often with different messages. If I try to run radiona_ulx3s.py I get "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'migen.genlib'" for example.

22:45 <yootis> When I run plaiun python, I can do an import migen just fine, but import migen.genlib fails.

22:46 <yootis> If I run sqrl_acorn.py I get "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'litex_boards'". Again, at a plain python command prompt I can import litex, but not litex_bosrds

22:47 <yootis> Is there anyone who can help me get the install working?

23:00 <sajattack[m]> did you install as `--user` or root?

23:00 <sajattack[m]> and what is the commands/logs of your procedure?

23:30 <sajattack[m]> this guy keeps asking for help then leaving
