[05:03:36] <kreyren2> implement aarch64 packages and i can implement parabola
[05:27:18] <bill-auger> is that an appology?
[05:27:28] <kreyren2> fuck no
[05:27:37] <kreyren2> it's people annoying me to work on arch
[05:27:58] <kreyren2> wtf would i apologize for
[13:56:53] <bill-auger> just wondering - you were putting out some rather harsh vibes two day ago
[14:06:43] <kreyren2> meaning
[14:32:35] <clarity> they're probably thinking about something about shoving a linux distribution up a donkey :D
[14:33:19] <kreyren2> O.o
[14:33:40] <kreyren2> pretty sure i proposed putting that on a flash disk and sacrificing it to the fire god
[14:33:46] <kreyren2> oh
[14:33:46] <kreyren2> right
[14:33:49] <kreyren2> i am mad about it yes
[14:33:51] <kreyren2> hmpf
[15:05:11] <clarity> Tsvetan have you looked at the bouffalo lab bl808? 64MB PSRAM and 480MHz 64-bit RISC-V core plus two 32-bit cores sounds frankly quite incredible :|
[15:05:33] <clarity> Of course it's yet another china chip
[15:05:35] <clarity> :)
[15:06:14] <clarity> Not to mention wifi + ble in same kit
[15:06:29] <clarity> Sounds almost too good to be true tbh, I wonder what's the catch
[15:07:33] <kreyren2> clarity: booo china chips get free world chips
[15:07:36] <kreyren2> ACTION grins
[15:07:49] <kreyren2> wait
[15:07:54] <kreyren2> WIFI and BLE in the same kit?
[15:07:57] <clarity> Yes!
[15:08:08] <kreyren2> it's the chip they use in pinetime right
[15:08:56] <clarity> pinetime is a nordicsemi chip according to https://pine64.com/product/pinetime-smartwatch-sealed/
[15:09:15] <kreyren2> old one?
[15:09:16] <kreyren2> wait
[15:09:16] <kreyren2> the new one
[15:09:17] <kreyren2> ehh
[15:09:52] <Tsvetan> BL808 looks nice probably will be capable to run OpenWRT
[15:10:09] <Tsvetan> I saw today something else in the same target group
[15:10:11] <kreyren2> o.o
[15:10:41] <Tsvetan> https://twitter.com/GLGH_/status/1632616362442129409
[15:10:44] <Tsvetan> R128
[15:11:33] <kreyren2> it's ehh power efficient right
[15:11:35] <Tsvetan> with 1MB SRAM 8MB PSRAM 8MB Flash
[15:11:53] <clarity> kreyren2: So yeah I'd buy "free world", maybe nordic semi or such.. but even their top tier soc looks like a toy if you compare the specs on paper to that bouffalo lab chip.. at least in terms of performance, idk about power consumption
[15:11:55] <kreyren2> so that i could probably jumper it to my power button on tsvetan to do Wake on WLAN
[15:11:56] <kreyren2> π€
[15:11:58] <Tsvetan> looks like many companies try to catch what Espressif is doing
[15:12:27] <Tsvetan> I don't know the prices too
[15:12:29] <kreyren2> hm o.o
[15:12:35] <clarity> So I find it incredible that bfl is selling something that much more powerful.. probably for not too many $$$
[15:12:50] <clarity> Nordic semi chips kinda expensive for what you get
[15:13:06] <clarity> Which I wouldn't mind if you actually got what the others offer
[15:13:11] <clarity> I'd happily pay the nordic premium :P
[15:13:18] <clarity> But they just don't seem competitive right now..
[15:13:21] <clarity> Maybe in a few years?
[15:13:47] <clarity> IIRC nordicsemi bought some company that makes wifi IP so I'd expect them to expand their range to include wifi and more powerful chips to go with it
[15:16:42] <clarity> Oh
[15:17:14] <kreyren2> o.o
[15:17:21] <clarity> Lol
[15:17:21] <clarity> https://www.nordicsemi.com/Products/nRF7002
[15:18:47] <clarity> Not really impressed with the idea of nrf53 + a companion ic for wifi
[15:21:39] <kreyren2> i am too sleep deprivated what is that
[15:22:00] <kreyren2> is that like wifi chip or is that something that can run my notebook
[15:24:20] <clarity> It is a wifi chip
[15:31:28] <kreyren2> ohhh
[15:31:40] <kreyren2> libre firmware and kernel driver_
[15:31:42] <kreyren2> ???
[15:32:32] <kreyren2> you already answered that right
[15:32:33] <kreyren2> should really go to sleep
[15:33:45] <clarity> I haven't looked at the driver status
[15:33:56] <clarity> But given that it's a new chip, I would not expect any support in linux
[15:34:05] <kreyren2> booo proprietareyyy
[15:42:56] <clarity> Looks like the drivers may be open https://github.com/nrfconnect/sdk-nrf/tree/main/drivers/wifi/nrf700x
[15:43:04] <clarity> But I can't tell at a glance if everything one needs is there
[15:43:13] <kreyren2> o.o
[15:43:28] <clarity> With so much boilerplate and crap scattered around, as is typical in these sdks..
[15:43:33] <kreyren2> how many pins it has
[15:44:34] <clarity> 48
[15:44:46] <kreyren2> @_@
[15:45:51] <clarity> https://blog.golioth.io/trying-out-golioth-with-the-nordic-nrf7002/
[15:46:15] <clarity> Works with zephyr which is open source.. but again I can't tell at a glance if they snuck in some blobs or if it's all there
[15:46:44] <clarity> The chip's firmware can be updated with blobs but idk if any of that is needed for a working driver
[15:47:30] <kreyren2> o.o
[15:53:20] <clarity> Documentation looks incomplete :( so you'd really have to dig in the existing drivers to understand whether it is fully open
[15:54:34] <kreyren2> mehhh
[16:01:50] <clarity> I'm somewhat optimistic that it might be fully open, altough the incomplete docs make me suspicious
[16:02:13] <clarity> If it's fully open, it does seem like a nice chip despite my initial reaction
[16:02:24] <clarity> I mean it'd be convenient to have it all in same package like the bl808
[16:02:55] <clarity> .. but if this thing works and you can write drivers, then it could be used to enable wifi on just about anything..
[16:03:07] <Tsvetan> RZ\Five dev board come today and I'm impessed with the processor datasheet :) 2400 pages datasheet with every detail explained in great detail.
[16:03:15] <kreyren2> well ping me when we have freedom then~
[16:03:55] <clarity> Maybe I'll buy the dk but I'm always so damn short on time
[16:03:56] <kreyren2> o.o
[16:04:06] <clarity> .. and figuring out these sdk messes is always so time consuming, sigh
[16:04:26] <clarity> Especially if you don't really want to use some big-ass bloated sdk but write a small & clean system
[16:04:33] <Tsvetan> excellent candidate for OSHW RZFive-OLinuXino with two Gigabit Ethernets, 4GB DDR4, they also have Long term support Linux (Yocto based) with Linux Kernel 5.10
[16:04:40] <clarity> Nice
[16:04:48] <kreyren2> but can it gnome n' freecad
[16:05:00] <clarity> gnome is bloat :(
[16:05:08] <Tsvetan> RZFive is headless
[16:05:11] <kreyren2> 43 ain't
[16:05:21] <Tsvetan> just server
[16:05:22] <kreyren2> sooo RTOS?
[16:05:25] <kreyren2> oh
[16:05:40] <kreyren2> ...
[16:05:41] <kreyren2> OSHW RISCV SERVER?
[16:05:46] <Tsvetan> yes
[16:05:52] <clarity> As long as there's enough I/O, you can always add a "head" :)
[16:05:56] <kreyren2> π_π
[16:06:24] <Tsvetan> so far only JH7110 and D1-H have video but seems they both are not easy to buy while RZFive is active
[16:06:39] <Tsvetan> there is stock at Mouser and Digikey
[16:06:43] <kreyren2> Tsvetan: but can you make it cluster
[16:06:56] <Tsvetan> clarity yes, small SPI LCD is always possible
[16:07:14] <clarity> You can do quite a bit with gigabit ethernet too
[16:07:20] <Tsvetan> but just FB no fancy graphics
[16:07:50] <Tsvetan> yes perfect for home server with separate LANs for outside and inside home
[16:07:59] <kreyren2> π_π
[16:08:13] <kreyren2> perfect for drones too in theory
[16:09:03] <kreyren2> flying servers @_@
[16:09:16] <kreyren2> literal definition of cloud
[16:11:33] <kreyren2> Tsvetan: https://github.com/OLIMEX/DIY-LAPTOP/issues/58 plz halp
[16:11:34] <kreyren2> ^-^
[16:12:46] <Tsvetan> kreyren2 I'm afraid we can't help with this
[16:13:21] <kreyren2> the RTL8723BS has wake host and it's connected to UART_TX though
[16:16:03] <kreyren2> Tsvetan: or like if you know of any libre alternative to the WIFI/BLE chip or know if it's possible to make that module listen for magic packets when the system is suspended/off then that would help too
[16:16:03] <kreyren2> ^-^
