senzillaminute: Would be absolutely fantastic if you managed to map all 7 PCIe lanes! No arm64 SOM apart from the Jetson provide that many lanes 🙂11:35
digitalraynei don't think i'd even know what to do with that many pcie lanes11:36
senzillaminute: I think this would make your rk3588 a very interesting choice for alternative carrier boards as well 🙂 I have a few in mind already 😄11:36

digitalrayneyeah NICs definitely come to mind as an idea11:37

digitalraynei wonder if you could meaningfully process that much data on the actual CPU, maybe in network switching applications it would make sense?11:38
senzillaThe rk3588 CPU is pretty powerful. I don't think they would have put 7 PCIe lanes on it if it couldn't handle the bandwidth, no?11:40
+ jacobk (~quassel@64.189.201.150)11:50
minutesenzilla: wanna share your ideas about carrier alternatives?12:10
senzillaminute: Sure! I'm thinking of a carrier board focused on the server and network appliance segment. Something with two or three 2.5GbE NICs, two SATA 3.0 ports for RAID1 and an open PCIe x4 slot12:12
senzillaThis would require around 7 PCIe lanes, which is what the rk3588 provides12:13
minutei see :312:13
senzillaminute: With the open x4 slot one could tailor the appliance to be eg a NAS server or other things12:15

hramrachWriting the reference manuals is a good thing. Some Chinese CPUs don't come with reference manuals, and when you ask they have to *write* them to reply - if they can still find out what it's supposed to do ..23:22
minutevkoskiv: i wonder how apple went from being this technical and "open" to this mystery meat walled garden thing23:22
vkoskivThat happened with the Macintosh in 198423:22
minuteso pretty early23:22
vkoskivThe II series lived on all the way to 1993 in one way or another, though, since a lot of people preferred hackability then23:22
vkoskivIn fact, for a good while, the Apple IIgs was technically superior and cheaper than the Mac23:23
+ hairu (m-uotkmd@user/hairu)23:23
vkoskivWell, in some ways. Mac had a much more advanced 68k CPU, but the IIgs had a color display and slots for expansion :D23:23
sigridperhaps that's part of the "issue" for them. if a computer is hackable, why would you update to the new model right away23:23
hramrachit happens to most companies, they find out that to be 'sussecful', that is make a lot of money, a good product is secondary23:23

vkoskivThis Apple II reference book has all the schematics, ROM listings for the monitor program/startup code, and tons of detail on how the thing works. Even has instructions for upgrading PROM chips for certain upgrades, and how to upgrade and configure the RAM23:24
hramrachit went through pretty much the same thing as Apple, and it's not a coincidence23:25
TristonC13minute: i'd wager the walled garden started around when they went public23:25
vkoskivThe basic tutorial books have lots of jokes in them23:25
vkoskivTristonC13: The engineers protested. They added a debug port to the original 1984 Mac logic port that just happened to have all the signals needed for a hypothetical memory expansion board :]23:26
vkoskivs/logic port/logic board23:26
TristonC13kind of like the odd happening with the switch having a glaring homebrew-enabling flaw? lol23:27
vkoskivIn fact, a friend bought a 128K Mac some years ago, and I discovered a hand-built board on that header on the board23:27
TristonC13i'm of the opinion that someone at nvidia willingly added that23:28
