The scp command needs the -o option.
Someone recently on this forum had that problem, it has something to do with new default settings in scp.

I couldn't get the web interface update to work either. It would always show an error when 'activating', even though the file is uploaded to /tmp.
I had to use the other method with the pflash program.

The FSI is the communication bus between the CPU and BMC.
Maybe re-flashing the BMC firmware will fix it?

Talos II / Re: AST disable jumper doesn't disable AST video

Looks like 0x0C is for fpga-v1.08.rom and 0x0A is fpga-v1.07.rom so should be new enough.

Support for VGA disable was added in v1.01, https://wiki.raptorcs.com/wiki/Talos_II/Firmware, so your FPGA version might be older then that.

Is there a fan shroud you can adjust to change the airflow?
The 2U supermicro chassis w/HDD Raptor used has an adjustable fan shroud.

Env.sh is a script that adds the Depot_tools directory to the PATH variable so the build system can find the programs in there.

You must have done it correctly since you can run the fetch command without needing to use it's full path.

The instructions in the wiki are a bit old now so maybe somethings changed in how chromium is built.
I've looked at fetch.py --help but don't see any way of telling it not to try and download the helper binary files.

If fetch downloads source code into the chromium folder you might be able to ignore those errors.
If the build systems is smart enough it should find those programs like git and gn and ninja that are already on your computer.

I know a bit about Clang/LLVM but not an expert on Chromium (never used or compiled it). I just thought I'd go down this rabbit hole with you.

As long as Clang compiles I wouldn't worry about the warnings.

It looks like the errors from the fetch command are from it trying to download ppc64le binaries but there aren't any.
Does the Chromium source code still download even with those errors?

The 'not found' stuff is basically optional features for the most part.
Since you're doing a fairly generic build of Clang I don't see anything that would stop it from compiling.

Most companies go the fabless route since building a fab is so expensive.
With the trouble Intel is having they could be bought and their fab business split off. If that happens maybe it would open up to making OpenPower chips from companies utilizing IP from Solid Silicon and Red Semiconductor.

I don't think RISC-V will make it in the Desktop/server class market. It seems to work well at the Embedded Linux level though, which is a big market and probable better then trying to get into the desktop market anyways.

Sorry, you need to change into the llvm-project directory first (or specify which directory in the git checkout command).

Code: [Select]

$ cd $CHROMIUM_DIR
$ git clone https://chromium.googlesource.com/external/github.com/llvm/llvm-project

$ cd llvm-project

$ git checkout llvmorg-20-init-9764-gb81d8e90

Replace this:

Code: [Select]

$ cd $CHROMIUM_DIR
$ export CLANG_SVN_REVISION=357692 # Check the above link for the current version
$ svn checkout --force https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@$CLANG_SVN_REVISION llvm
$ svn checkout --force https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/cfe/trunk@$CLANG_SVN_REVISION llvm/tools/clang
$ svn checkout --force https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/compiler-rt/trunk@$CLANG_SVN_REVISION llvm/compiler-rt
With:

Code: [Select]

$ cd $CHROMIUM_DIR
$ git clone https://chromium.googlesource.com/external/github.com/llvm/llvm-project
$ git checkout llvmorg-20-init-9764-gb81d8e90

No, that's a different section in the wiki, you still need the helper programs in depot_tools.

The sections below LLVM/Clang is what needs to be updated/modified. Replace the SVN checkout commands with git clone and checkout commands

The number is a git tag. It tells git which exact version to checkout/use so you can compile a known good version.
The 'CLANG_SVN_REVISION=35769' number in the wiki will no longer work since LLVM doesn't use SVN anymore.

Looks like that tag isn't from the main LLVM git but chromium has their own repo of LLVM.

Here's a recent build log that shows what you can do.

https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/main/docs/updating_clang.md

I think this might work:

Code: [Select]

# git clone https://chromium.googlesource.com/external/github.com/llvm/llvm-project
# git checkout llvmorg-20-init-9764-gb81d8e90
