<fossy>once I finish the bootloader it will load a kernel in M2-planet <yt>fossy: ooooh that's exciting! <OriansJ>fossy: I would like to report that your kaem work fixed all of the problems that I previously had in mescc-tools-seed <OriansJ>oh and thank you yt for keeping the M1 DEFINEs between hex0 and hex1 consistent (saved me from having to look them up again) <OriansJ>AArch64 hex1 has been reviewed and merged. <yt>I've cleaned up all the other tools and split them off, but I don't think GitHub handles dependent pull requests very well, so I'll post them as they are merged <OriansJ>I'll hammer on catm tomorrow morning. <fossy>OriansJ: that is very good news!! I am glad ***clever_ is now known as clever
<OriansJ>TIL baby gates can be broken faster than their boxes can by an agressive 9 month old with a block of wood and kicking. <OriansJ>It was metal and rated for 6-36months <OriansJ>hey civodul we are making great progress with AArch64 being bootstrapped this week ^_^ <civodul>i heard dannym had +/- a working port of Mes to ARMv7 <OriansJ>civodul: lower level; the mescc-tools-seed <yt>OriansJ: great, thanks! I'll get hex2 up next <yt>civodul: I've got half-way through a Mes port for AArch64, just need work's approval before I can put it up for review <civodul>the ARMv7 backend should cover AArch64 in practice though, no? <civodul>anyway, i'm glad we'll have all the arches that Guix supports covered :-) <OriansJ>civodul: and hopefully help guix add even more ^_^ <yt>Arm processors won't support 32-bit forever; unlike x86_64, the 32-bit instruction set of Armv7 isn't a subset of the A64 ISA in Armv8 <OriansJ>civodul: think of Armv7 and Armv8 like RISC-II and RISC-V; nothing in common but the name. (And perhaps a handful of bad design decisions) <janneke>yt: ah right -- i had the impression we'd be able to bootstrap aarch64 with arm <yt>janneke: you probably can today, but you need a core that supports both A32 and A64 at (at least) EL0 <yt>OriansJ: at EL1, A32 has already disappeared. Neoverse-N1 (the core in AWS graviton processors) already doesn't have it.
