12:37 <c1truz[m]> hey all, i would like to play around with the KVM patch by Marc Zyngier. i got the kernel itself compiled but I assume I need some userspace to boot from? is this already possible with asahi e.g. via usb?

12:37 <c1truz[m]> i am pretty new to this, so any input is appreciated :)

12:40 <_jannau_> c1truz[m]: you need more patches for working usb-c in linux. https://github.com/AsahiLinux/linux/tree/dart/dev supports the USB-C ports for devices already connected during boot

12:42 <_jannau_> (re)connecting usb devices works with an usb hub

12:43 <c1truz[m]> _jannau_: thx! will see how far I get

12:44 <sven> there's also a branch somewhere for pcie (which gives you usb-a ports and ethernet)

12:45 <sven> https://github.com/svenpeter42/linux/commits/pcie/hack that should have usb+pcie when launched through https://github.com/kettenis/u-boot/tree/apple-m1-m1n1-pcie. maybe.

15:20 <c1truz[m]> _jannau_: do you have a corresponding kernel .config by chance? I am getting a SError panic in apple_dart_probe and think it might be related to a wrong config

15:26 <jannau> c1truz[m]: https://gist.github.com/jannau/0af6697bb8b08a847ecc32a8a3d3a4f2 defconfig which should produce a booting kernel

15:27 <kettenis> typically this means a clock hans't been enabled

15:28 <kettenis> right now, the kernel may rely on u-boot enabling some of the clocks

15:29 <sven> hm, so usb should work without u-boot i think

15:29 <kettenis> and u-boot may rely on on m1n1 enabling some of the clocks

15:29 <kettenis> we realy need "approved" clock bindings such that we can iron this out properly

15:30 <sven> yeah.. haven't had the time to implement what tony suggested yet :/

15:30 <_jannau_> usb-c works with current m1n1 without u-boot

15:32 <sven> c1truz[m]: did you load the kernel over usb?

15:32 <kettenis> not clear to me if tony's voice carries any weight in that discussion though

15:32 <sven> i'm not sure if the usb clocks get enabled when concatenating it to m1n1

15:32 <c1truz[m]> sven: yes via linux.py

15:32 <sven> weird. then all clock gates should be enabled

15:33 <c1truz[m]> aaalthough the m1n1 I currently have may not be the latest

15:33 <c1truz[m]> should I chainload and then load linux?

15:33 <sven> that certainly can't hurt

15:33 <sven> but even older ones should work

15:34 <_jannau_> but not older than june 10th

15:35 <sven> what was fixed on june 10th? i think the clocks should've been enabled long before that

15:35 <c1truz[m]> aaah yes that was it

15:35 <sven> weird, but glad it works now :-)

15:37 <_jannau_> https://github.com/AsahiLinux/m1n1/pull/65 was only merged on the 9th. 1 day off

15:37 <c1truz[m]> so I could theoretically now attach a USB stick via the usb c port? (unfortunately I don't have an adapter at hand right now, otherwise I would just try it)

15:37 <sven> _jannau_: true. but that shouldn't cause an SError in the dart probe.

15:38 <sven> c1truz[m]: so the problem is that the usb c controller has a very strange quirk when it comes to replugging anything. having the usb stick connected before booting linux definitely works

15:38 <sven> connecting the usb stick after linux has booted only works if the port hasn't been used before that

15:39 <sven> let me know if you have any other issues though. i'm not even sure how many people have tested that dart code yet :)

23:27 <c1truz[m]> hmm I flashed a usb stick with the ubuntu raspberry image and it is being recognized as sda but I still get "No filesystem could mount root, tried: ext3, ext2, ext4, vfat, msdos". what am I missing?

23:36 <c1truz[m]> oh wait, even when I boot without the stick it says there is a "sda". so that cannot be the stick

23:43 <c1truz[m]> it was sdb2 and "rootwait" solved the issue
