@oherrala always dreamed of having that, and some games are really good, i have bunch of them for my MiSTeR FPGA :-)

@troglobit binaries are for x86 despite there is target for aarch64. i.e. host is x86 and target is aarch64. i'd like also have in addition that to have compilers for different targets where host is aarch64. i.e. they are x86 hosted.

for instance i have x86 PC's and Mac Mini. Sometimes I'd like to use a VM in that mac mini to run bootlin toolchains. and e.g. in buildroot config i rarely use "external tooclhain" option because it is not portable with the machine architectures i have.

Love #bootlin toolchains but wish there was also #aarch64 hosted versions of each :-) https://toolchains.bootlin.com/

@petrillic ofc it depends what you mean by toolchain. for fpga's shit is proprietary as hell with a few exceptions. i.e. depending on context you could agree or disagree on that. python is unfair comparison tho as it has nothing to do with hardware... it is same as comparing JVM to embedded development.

in software context, python packaging is rotten tbh.

@petrillic tbh, it is better than ever. worst experiences i have had was with scratchbox. these days shit just bootstraps itself and if not, i just download e.g. bootlin toolchain.

@petrillic i don't have much to complain about embedded tooling 🤷

Pilot episode of #Fallout watched. First Prime Video complained about region for no good reason. Then i cursed quite a lot (and loud) and tried to cancel Prime (which was on free trial). Then Amazon offered me additional free month and I accepted that, and also playback started working 🤷

Pilot was amazing tho... And yeah, 40 days of trial left.

With the right configuration and ntsync driver, wineasio and some other components you could make a "boot to wine" image perfected for audio. I.e. make better Windows than Windows for audio software.

These days even super proprietary things like iLok manager can be made to work in wine.

@ncopa @whynothugo often when you get situations like that you are NOT prepared beforehand. Then you try to add kprobes or even inject log messages to scripts/code which can be super time-consuming effort. And sometimes the incident happens occasionally with unpredictable pattern...

Getting to the point where you can reason can be a long road...

Is there generic probe style timeout in Linux kernel that you could pair with eBPF script? I.e. can you say somehow that "if a process context is stuck more than X seconds, please trigger this eBPF". I.e. then you could inspect location of PC, dump stack and whatnot.

@ncopa Most issues I've had with RISC-V have been way or another related to CPU caches. The ISA spec defines these properties with "lowest common denominator" approach, which is a design decision, as the spec's goal is not to define CPU architecture but more like seed for bunch of architectures. That said, I don't believe tho that this could be the root cause for such a wide spread :-)

E.g. when you read or write memory you don't necessarily always have any silver bullet to know how the hardware caches an address range, and often synchronization can require some extra dance with memory fences depending on which RISC-V CPU you run it.

kudos to @ncopa again for the static busybox binary tip! i'll refine this at some point to multi-arch with toolchains from https://toolchains.bootlin.com/. i.e. one arg for arch and it will download the toolchain and matching busybox binary. #bootlin #buildroot

@kissane Maybe dude just to grow up a bit? :-) I'd factor this inverse to the age... I had a lot of silly ideas when I was barely adult (not necessarily on this topic tho but that does not matter) and I guess being somehow extreme is sort of part of growing up...
