mircea_popescu: ie, we've managed
to stockade it, at least. digestion can
then proceed.
mircea_popescu: a minimal os + custom built fs (doubling as bitcoin specific db ; possibly written as raid firmware at least in part) + proper net driver (i really don't need iptables ad-hoc scripting lang
to do what evidently and universally bitcoin node has
to do) + grandfather pistols bitcoin code => an actual definitive package.

trinque: is your item packaged roughly similarly
to my rockchip
thing ? (i.e. a
tarball
that i can unpack onto an empty ext4 , and jump into ) ?
mircea_popescu: "
The hello world example from
the previous installment can be build and it's size inspected. It is now at 2.6k (down from 54k) on my computer" aaa yes

thx! now if anyone can be bother
to design a board with multiple ice40
mircea_popescu: o wow
that's his irc client ? i
thought he literally meant "mother".
mircea_popescu: And after spending his earnings foolishly he beats his wife --
the man
that promised
to protect her during life -- and so
the man would if
there was no drink in society, for seldom a man beats his wife in a state of sobriety.
mircea_popescu: Thou causeth
the mother
to neglect her child, also
the father
to act as he were wild, so
that he neglects his loving wife and family dear, by spending his earnings foolishly on whisky, rum and beer.
mircea_popescu: Oh,
thou demon Drink,
thou fell destroyer;
thou curse of society, and its greatest annoyer. What hast
thou done
to society, let me
think? I answer
thou hast caused
the most of ills,
thou demon Drink.
mircea_popescu: see Bigtexasbingo , online piracy, gatweay drug
to marine piracy.
a111: Logged on 2018-07-05 17:15 asciilifeform: in fact,
this sorta happened, recall
the early crt
tv and its xray killzone
mircea_popescu: i don't understand how
they propose anyone use
those
things. "here's a pile of very important features
that you must
turn off one by one in order
to get
the box bacl"
a111: Logged on 2018-07-06 14:09 ave1: btw, at
this point would bare metal arm make more sense
than x86? (at least some arm processors seem
to be free of blobs and backdoor).
a111: Logged on 2018-07-06 14:06 ave1: I have
to practice my joke lines
a111: Logged on 2017-01-19 23:35 asciilifeform:
theoretically you can, e.g., host www on just an uart.
a111: Logged on 2016-09-17 18:06 asciilifeform: now switching from
the depressive
tack,
to
the crackpot
track, i ~did~ get high speed uart going on one of
those all-in-one amd64 boxes.
mircea_popescu: thinking about
this, it's fucking evident what difference
the online made for
the
thinking mind. yes i was a child, but child or no child, it didn't occur
to me
that i must have a gns link
to
the item
that i like. "this" and pointing was an acceptable manner of reference in
the 90s, because why
the hell wouldn't it be and what's a global namespace anyway.
mircea_popescu: did i ever
tell you
the story of ye olde 8086 friend had
that could drop into asm-er from bios ?
mircea_popescu: anyway, let him be,
this part can be easily patched in later anyway.
mircea_popescu: i like his approach, ftr.
tempered ingenuity, wiggle
things one at a
time
towards
the greater goal.
a111: Logged on 2018-07-06 13:43 ave1: Also, I just checked, it is fine
to put
the start.o in
the libgnat.a so next step may well be
that
the makefile can be removed again.
Bigtexasbingo: Nigger all stars versus a country
trying
to be a nation
Bigtexasbingo: Is it just me or did
that French
team not look very French
trinque: asciilifeform: cuntoo
tarball uploadin, poast shortly
ave1: I was reading
through
the fg design (doing experiments with circuit simulators
to see how
the RNG might work etc). I'll just continue with
the next step.
ave1: I see, I'll have
to learn verilog, I did not know you could implement a processor with so little code
ave1: thx! now if anyone can be bother
to design a board with multiple ice40
☟︎ ave1: Any MIPS verilog / vhdl code you can point
too?
ave1: I could see if I can port gnat
to qemu-mips
ave1: It seems
that
the American one (Cavium?) is also unobtainable
ave1: yes, did you ever hear anything back from
the russian mips producers?
ave1: btw, at
this point would bare metal arm make more sense
than x86? (at least some arm processors seem
to be free of blobs and backdoor).
☟︎ ave1: I have
to practice my joke lines
☟︎ ave1: another holy grail, I
thought
the arm version was it!
ave1: now
there was something with asserts, but I'll have
to dig
this up again and do a few experiments
ave1: the examples have
two binaries, one simple hw
the other
triggers a constaint error
ave1: the last_change_handler is in
there
ave1: asciilifeform, yes
that was my first reaction
too. It does does something with word copying
though and also individual files can be build without any of
the extra gnat checks. So maybe
the ada versions can be stand-ins so long as a native asm based version has not been written.
ave1: Also, I just checked, it is fine
to put
the start.o in
the libgnat.a so next step may well be
that
the makefile can be removed again.
☟︎ ave1: it maybe possible
to creat a stand-alone object file as
target but I haven't found
that option yet (so far I worked with libraries and executables).
diana_coman: anyway,
this might be premature ; it's more
that I'm surprised gprbuild couldn't quite do what you needed
diana_coman: or
there's something I don't quite follow
there
diana_coman: hmm, but you can in any case just write a .gpr
that builds
the object files for precisely
the files you want, no/
ave1: at least
that's my understanding so far (crt1.o etc are also not part of libc.a). But maybe it is fine
to put in, I haven't
tried it yet.
ave1: the startup.S file, it needs
to end up as a separate object file and not part of libgnat.a
diana_coman: what was exactly you couldn't build with gprbuild and needed
the makefile for?
ave1: thx diana_coman, It's now very minimal, mostly so
that it can be understood as is. I'm working on adding all
the code in so
that at least ffa can build.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile
teaching girls
to make zwiebelschnitzel. in french chablis, for maximal gains.
