mps: For upstream u-boot with GMAC series(already merged in newest upstream u-boot), it would automatically read eeprom and patch dts to correct memory size
<Stat_headcrabed>
You need to revert root.c part of this patch to make it work now
<Stat_headcrabed>
conchuod: We would see k230 soon, T-head has a software design competiton requires using their cores and they offer a K230 EVK to competitors.
<Stat_headcrabed>
But their SDK... might be awful to use...
<Stat_headcrabed>
The C908 core without vector is running linux and vector core is running rt-smart os
<davidlt>
Stat_headcrabed, Sipeed is looking to build SBC with C908 / K230 IIRC

Stat_headcrabed: yes, I found that this commit is problem and reported it to u-boot devs on #u-boot IRC
<mps>
Simon told that he will create fix and post to mailing list but still didn't
<mps>
hope it will be fixed before 2023.10 u-boot release
<mps>
I reverted commit locally and now u-boot can load kernel and start it but for some unknown reason can't mount rootFS on mmc or nvme, and I didn't looked why

mps: ahh you mean v3.4.5 of vf2's firmware... yes that's whats on both of my units right now
<Tenkawa>
I updated it soon as it was released

I don't use graphics so I don't care about the CMA concerns
<mps>
Tenkawa: this firmware is actually u-boot+opensbi
<mps>
and also for me v3.4.5 'firmware' quite fine load and boot kernel from all media
<mps>
but I'm trying to get upstream/mainline u-boot+opensbi to work
<Tenkawa>
mps: Well like I said... I "and several others" have 2 different JH7110's working perfect
<Tenkawa>
why?
<Tenkawa>
Why reinvent the wheel when it isn't ready yet
<mps>
I prefer mainline things on my machines, not vendor specific
<Tenkawa>
The kernel isn't even ready
<mps>
right, but in every major release some things are added
<mps>
u-boot got VF2 support merged
<Tenkawa>
yes but if the infrastructure isn't there to support it you aren't gaining anything but false results
<mps>
and it will be in 2023.10 stable release
<mps>
for now I just playing with VF1 and VF2 boards, so I like to experiment with them
<mps>
this is just for hobby and learning. I don't work with any company for these things
<Tenkawa>
Ah... this was my career... It is my hobby now too (retired now)

lucky you. I hope I will be there in a few years
<Tenkawa>
I still enjoy it too much...
<Tenkawa>
You should see my server room lol
<mps>
nearly last 20 years I work in financial and public services fields (making programs), but I started with low level - designing hardware for industrial purposes
<Tenkawa>
Time to see if this kernel can be made to work on the other JH7110....
<Tenkawa>
mps: wow sounds like me (started in telecom.. spent almost the rest in financial or government)

I bounced all around in tasks though... sysadmin,dba,coding,debug,build admin,etc
<mps>
first computer I designed and made prototype was with 6502 cpu, heh nostalgia
<Tenkawa>
The one thing I would not touch... managing
<Tenkawa>
I prefer where we are now... being able to prototype and discover
<Tenkawa>
We need people to continue to push RISC-V like they did ARM back 10 -12 years ago with the RPI
<mps>
also I still play with AVR microcontroller sometimes
<mps>
also my motivation is high for riscv, I want to make alpine linux work fine on it
<Tenkawa>
Yeah... I'll always be a Debian/ish person probably
Starfoxxes has joined #riscv
<mps>
eh, I used debian for more than 20 years iirc, but 'moved' to alpine about 5-6 years ago
<Tenkawa>
I've used it since 93
<Tenkawa>
since it came out
<Tenkawa>
Started it and Slackware at the same time
<mps>
iirc I started in 95
<mps>
and before debian I also used slackware
<mps>
Tenkawa: so we had similar work journey
<Tenkawa>
indeed
<Tenkawa>
aurel32: was there a big package push overnight?
<Tenkawa>
aurel32: wrong channel.. I'll ask on right one

mps: uboot from 3.4.5 + linux-next + patches also causes nvme timeouts for me, but its not unusable. vendor kernel 5.15 VF2_v2.8.0 59cf9af678db also showed nvme timeouts, but maybe less bad.
<Tenkawa>
ch: I've got this running almost 100% without any hiccups now
<Tenkawa>
uname -a ; hdparm -t --direct /dev/nvme0n1

Linux vf2 6.4.10-vf2+ #27 SMP Fri Aug 11 14:25:59 EDT 2023 riscv64 GNU/Linux

Timing O_DIRECT disk reads: 998 MB in 3.00 seconds = 332.36 MB/sec
<mps>
ch: didn't tried linux-next but made linux 5.5-rc{1,2,3,4,5} + patches and it works fine with u-boot v3.4.5 and some earlier versions
<mps>
hm, 6.5-rc*
Andre_Z has quit [Quit: Leaving.]
<ch>
hmm. maybe also a board revision issue
<Tenkawa>
That's possible too
<Tenkawa>
I have the 1.2
<Tenkawa>
not the 1.2 though
<Tenkawa>
er 1.3
<Tenkawa>
let me see which 1.2 I have
<Tenkawa>
1.2A
<Tenkawa>
there's a 1.3b I probably should've got as far back as I preordered (6+ months) but I didn't
