Now I get why there’s been so much #ACPI discussion recently in my feed. IMHO, the whole topic is not even worth of essay because you would need to compare it something that also enables universal management interface for heterogenous data center environment. ACPI is ugly but it is also universal. I’d like to see something less ugly implementing the same role.

When it comes to bloat I would rather focus on desktop applications implemented with #JavaScript and #HTML eating all your computing resources. It is ugly and bloated in a whole new level. Web desktop truly sucks

.,, and biggest contribution #vscode has made to the software ecosystem is turning even the freaking text editor as malware.

OK, something probably pretty basic with #QEMU I need to ask.

I have this command-line, which is generated by #Keystone #RISCV #TEE build:

/home/jarkkojs/work/keystone/qemu/build/riscv64-softmmu/qemu-system-riscv64 \
   $DEBUG \
   -m 2G \
   -nographic \
   -machine virt,rom=/home/jarkkojs/work/keystone/build/bootrom.build/bootrom.bin \
   -bios /home/jarkkojs/work/keystone/build/sm.build/platform/generic/firmware/fw_payload.bin \
    \
   -netdev user,id=net0,net=192.168.100.1/24,dhcpstart=192.168.100.128,hostfwd=tcp::${HOST_PORT}-:22 \
   -device virtio-net-device,netdev=net0 \
   -device virtio-rng-pci \
   -smp $SMP

QEMU has support for #Spike, which is #CVA6 emulation.

So when I do to the above command-line simply s/virt,/spike,/g, I get this error:

$ build/scripts/run-qemu.sh
**** Running QEMU SSH on port 3617 ****
qemu-system-riscv64: Property 'spike-machine.rom' not found

How do I end up to this error message? Why does it seek a filename like that? Without rom= I can run Spike emulation but I need that bootrom for the application.

#Aalto managementin vaalitentissä paistaa ehkä eniten #demokratian:n vastaisuus, koska käsittääkseni näitä sisältöjä voi katsoa vain #X-tunnuksella. Seuraavaksi luennot instaan tai tiktokiin?

#Debian carries old 0.7.2 version of #neovim (even trixie), and neovim does not provide #arm64 (aka #aarch64) builds. This worked well for getting up-to-date nvim binary: https://github.com/matsuu/neovim-aarch64-appimage. I used #podman aliased as #docker.

I've used the one for #Linux #kernel for years but apparently there is also #LXR hosting from #Bootlin for #QEMU: https://elixir.bootlin.com/qemu/latest/source

aihetta sen kummemmin tuntematta niin tajunnunvirtahorinasta syyttely twitterissä on jotenkin metatasolla ironisuuden huipentuma, kuten myös "en ole lukenut väitöskirjaa, mutta...". https://www.iltalehti.fi/kotimaa/a/a5edc628-90e1-45fc-a7b0-0c7d763995b3

ordered a pile of #UART TTL #USB converters. out of stash, and they tend to break down :-) i need one to get serial console to #VisionFive2 RISC-V board. #riscv

en #politiikka'a hirveästi seuraile, mutta onhan tämä täysin todellisuudesta iralllaan olevaa paskaa, kun pikemminkin tänne pitäisi houkutella ihmisiä töihin. enpä taida seurailla jatkossakaan, koska masennus iski heti. https://www.hs.fi/paakirjoitukset/art-2000009944529.html

I'm trying to get #Keystone #SM ongoing with #CVA6 but stuck with SM's trap handler giving me illegal instruction. I wonder how interpret these values for #mideleg and #medeleg: https://github.com/keystone-enclave/keystone/issues/374#issuecomment-1777032123 #riscv #opensbi

I wish I had one of those #UDOO #BOLT boards so I could test #TPM and trusted keys better with #AMD #hardware. #linux #kernel

is EP same as big.LITTLE with different branding? https://eclecticlight.co/2023/10/23/how-does-macos-manage-virtual-cores-on-apple-silicon/ #arm

#pikvm is great :-)

Here at the Inkscape Project, we're excited about our upcoming milestone... we're turning 20 in November! 🎉

Watch for an opportunity to learn more about some of our contributors later in November.

For now, we're hoping to collect your best wishes and what you've achieved through using #Inkscape for sharing with our contributors and the community (open until Oct 31):

debugging issue with #SBI. i’m a newbie on this so just found out that you can inject traces with sbi_printf(). not sure but i guess you also have to have CONFIG_HVC_RISCV_SBI=y set in #kernel? #linux #riscv #sbi

I’ve opened up #development #git tree for in-kernel #Keystone #enclave #driver:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jarkko/linux-riscv-keystone.git/

Existing branches:

• keystone: follows Linus’ tree.
• keystone-5.19.y: I’m actively trying to get Genesys2 FPGA hosting CVA6 working with this kernel version. Buddy allocator works but the use of dma_alloc_coherent() to allocate contiguous physical memory for enclaves freezes the system when it is being used (not in the call itself).

Keystone enclaves are applications hosted by Keystone security monitor running inside #OpenSBI, and partitioned and protected by physical memory protection (usually shortened as PMP) machine registers.

PMP is part of standard RISC-V ISA, which means that Keystone enclaves are usable with any RISC-V CPU with MMU. There is nothing that would prevent this coming eventually a mainline feature because it works for without non-standard or proprietary components involved.

Another favorable element of having Keystone enclaves as kernel feature is that Keystones enclave can run both in U-mode and S-mode meaning that kernel subsystems could use the feature too (if wanted). For instance, #Intel #SGX can host only ring-3 enclaves, which limits its scope.

The only #diagram tool that I've ever liked was #xfig and I would still use over anything else available if it was brought to modern day.

#sublime #merge, software that I'm happy that I've paid for. There's some pretty decent fee options such as #Gitg from #Gnome but this has just tiny bit of extra comfort and performance (UI has very low-
latency).

Wrote myself a cheat sheet on how to get #unprivileged #Nix up and running because had forgotten how to do it. I like my Nix this way, i.e. a #container tool for me that actually makes sense to me I guess, and fits for my needs.

#Bitwig hack: you can get audio feedback path inside grid with "Long Delay" and "Mixer" devices.. Apparently Long Delay device can be routed back to an input of a Mixer device. Without it or with any other device this seems to not be possible.
