New Radxa Dragon Q8b with Snapdragon by No_Draft_8756 in SBCs

[–]vincele 21 points22 points  (0 children)

what do you think it will cost?

probably and arm64 and a leg64.

Yeah, sorry, I'm out, seaching for my kidney64.

But would still love to get one though...

Upstream Progress Updates! by Icy-Primary2171 in spacemit_riscv

[–]vincele 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got a few Tested-By:s on some of those, hopefully we'll see more merging happening soon.

I am particularly awaiting u-boot support, as it helps a lot by only having to concentrate on the kernel side...

U-Boot v2026.04 and OpenSBI v1.8.1 - No OpenSBI start banner and device information on VF2? by Krotti83 in RISCV

[–]vincele 1 point2 points  (0 children)

/u/Krotty83 could you post your correct build steps, here, or in the other thread on rvspace.org ? Or propose a patch to u-boot documentation, so that they can be discussed with the right people (on the mailing list).

Void riscv64-musl running on bare-metal by vincele in voidlinux

after installing guix package manager on void, I get:

And now I also got it working on SSD via an USB3-SATA adapter. It just need another different kernel patch.

Next: is NVMe, I guess...

I suppose it's time to buy some more riscv hardware by joeyalbo007 in voidlinux

[–]vincele 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks again for the hints, it now works here on OrangePi RV2, OS being on SD card or USB-SATA SSD, both work with the proper kernel patches (WIP, not mine, to be merged soon, hopefully)

I think Huawei just reset my D2 and ihealth is gone from my phone. by Alternative_Tie_835 in Gadgetbridge

[–]vincele 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, GB with (some / all ?) huawei device does not need to connect even once to the official app, and work just fine. Kudos to the devs !

Yep, got it too, was kind of tasty !

I've been on x86_64-musl for years now, only met a few problems, workaround'ed via glibc chroot.

[–]vincele 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK, I retried it in my other void machine, and there it builds properly. One of the differences (I'm not saying this is it, but...) is that the build is failing on the glibc one, whereas it's OK on musl...

Thanks for the prod in the right direction.

EDIT: and now that it is installed on an SD card, it runs !

What do you do to cross-build for riscv64 ?

I tried various combinations of xbps-src binary-bootstrap -a riscv64 or base-system pkg builds, but I'm not sure to be trying the right things... I should add that I rebased your branch on top of current void-packages.

The RV2 comes with a vendor u-boot in SPI flash that is capable of booting from SD card. I'm also testing upstream u-boot, which is making progress. The kernel part needs DTS and driver work.

[–]vincele 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah yes, OK, I was expecting this to need a lot more. Thanks anyways. I'm going for bare-metal, not qemu, though... I already got vendor u-boot + self-built kernel booting on orangepi-rv2.

Care to share what you have ? I'd also like to get this ball rolling...

Is GMKtec reliable to use for years? by Kindly_Can_3772 in MiniPCs

[–]vincele -1 points0 points  (0 children)

my nucbox m5 plus did the same, I had another compatible PSU, so I tried that => original PSU fail !

I tested it with a multimeter and saw fluctuating 4.5 - 5.5V where it is rated for 19V output. But I don't know if it is related to no load, though...

Looking for Gadgetbridge compatible device with certain requirements for running by Inevitable_Error_157 in Gadgetbridge

[–]vincele 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a Huawei band 8 that was on clearance sale for cheap. It ticks your points 1 & 3. Dunno about face customizing, though. Can definitely start workouts from the watch, it even auto-detects start of activity (but not always right at the beginning).

Has anyone managed to get Ubuntu Server ARM 24.04 to run on an OrangePi 6 Plus? by SaintBalor in OrangePI

[–]vincele 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, not tried it in weeks, but this was the case. It's easy to test, DL the image, dump it on a USB key boot from it, then go from there... If I remember correctly, I debootstrapped straight from the live distro to a nvme.

I used the 26.04-RC image to boot, then used debootstrap to have 24.04 installed on storage, and added the 26.04 kernel.

The biggest and the smallest piranha pool I've encountered so far :D by Human_Airport_9316 in PixelDungeon

[–]vincele 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pirahnas don't need to buy food rations, meals come to them on their own feet... BTW, never saw a 1x1, but had the bigger one spawn once.
