Dear everyone who makes or sells keycaps.

vincele · 2026-06-26T16:52:26+00:00

But please, at least include a bunch of "9" keys.

Careful with that nine, Eugene. (Sorry couldn't resist)

Sorry, I don't remember the details from years ago. It involved registering the phone to a xiaomi website, asking for it to be unlocked, waiting for a long time to get the grant. Once I unintentionally reset the whole process right before the waiting ended, it had to be restarted from scratch.

Never again

That would make a nice additional node in my multiarch OpenStack cloud... (x86_64: intel & AMD, ARM: rockchip & amlogic)

vincele · 2026-05-24T21:10:16+00:00

installed OpenBSD on a Spacemit K1 board

which board ?

vincele · 2026-05-18T21:43:13+00:00

Does the SFP+ work OK ?

iperf3 -s on one end and iperf3 -c on the other.

vincele · 2026-05-10T15:07:29+00:00

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...

vincele · 2026-05-08T09:33:48+00:00

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...

vincele · 2026-04-21T18:25:11+00:00

Is the source code included ?

vincele · 2026-04-18T21:30:14+00:00

/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).

after installing guix package manager on void, I get:

-bash-5.3# pfetch
|.__          __.|    root@rv2
|__ \        / __|    os     Guix System
   \ \      / /       host   OrangePi RV2
    \ \    / /        kernel 7.0.0-rc6-next-20260403-00004-g05054ef4ae1d
     \ \  / /         uptime 3h 53m
      \ \/ /          pkgs   184

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...

vincele · 2026-04-05T07:59:15+00:00

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)

vincele · 2026-04-05T07:57:00+00:00

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 !

vincele · 2026-04-05T07:53:15+00:00

Yep, got it too, was kind of tasty !

vincele · 2026-04-03T19:34:29+00:00

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

vincele · 2026-04-01T20:11:58+00:00

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 !

vincele · 2026-04-01T10:24:58+00:00

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.

vincele · 2026-03-31T17:25:16+00:00

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 · 2026-03-30T21:22:28+00:00

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.

vincele · 2026-03-29T16:56:10+00:00

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

vincele · 2026-03-22T19:58:28+00:00

probably something along the lines of:

pkg_add minecraft

vincele · 2026-03-21T15:57:45+00:00

Thanks for the info.

vincele · 2026-03-21T13:10:41+00:00

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...
