Applications and Porting / Re: Firefox WebAssembly (WASM) on ppc64le? Jitsi Meet, Zoom, etc not working

« Last post by ClassicHasClass on Today at 12:15:44 pm »

It was working for awhile in internal test builds but changes to Firefox have caused it to crash on Wasm startup, deep within the code. I'm continuing to struggle with this and I'm trying to work on a better debugging setup as time permits.

A similar thing happens with Ion (second-stage) compilation, so they are probably related. Right now the JIT works but is limited to Baseline (first-stage) JS compilation and irregexp.

I haven't updated the patches for anything later than 128ESR yet but it's possible it may apply directly to more recent versions.

What's the status on this these days?

I found an open Mozilla issue for WASM. Is that just for the WASM portion (and there's other bugs tracking other portions), or is that tracking the entire JIT+WASM effort?

It looks like kth includes your patch for Firefox-esr v128 in his archlinux package. And running that build of firefox in an archpower chroot scores quite a bit higher than fedora's firefox v133 on BrowserBench (but also higher than the Firefox v130 from Archpower; it's not clear to me if the JIT patches are included there..)

GPU Compute / Accelerators / Re: Radeon RDNA3 support?

« Last post by MPC7500 on Today at 05:24:35 am »

Two RDNA3 cards are now also mentioned on the wiki as working. On kernel 6.7 and 6.11. I guess the baseline for RDNA3 is also kernel 6.1.

Does anybody know what this is?

None CALLOUT_DEVICE_PATH=/sys/devices/platform/gpio-fsi/fsi0/slave@00:00/raw
CALLOUT_ERRNO=0

I have 200 of these events all logged on the morning of Nov. 5th.

I wish I could help but this is too my first time seeing this kind of error

Operating Systems and Porting / [NEWS] FreeBSD 14.2

More details could be found at https://www.freebsd.org/releases/14.2R/announce/

I am unsure how many of us are actually using FreeBSD but hey there are great usecases out there that FreeBSD shine brighter than Linux for example the ZFS

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

« Last post by bobpaul on Today at 01:02:15 am »

I think it is working correctly, I just didn't expect the `hvc0` to keep showing on the ASPEED vga after petiboot loaded.

With the jumper neither petiboot nor the main OS have the ast kernel module loaded and the amdgpu is the only framebuffer device in both environments. And I found adding `console=tty0 console=hvc0` (just like petiboot uses) to all of my kernel commandlines causes a good portion of the OS startup to show before the login prompt. If I keep messing around, hopefully I can get things showing even sooner.

User Zone / Re: Unable to boot with NVIDIA GT710 installed

« Last post by dr.chinme on December 02, 2024, 09:14:23 pm »

Hi Bernie,

Did you ever get the GT710 working in the OS on your Blackbird? I've installed an NVIDIA Quadro K620 on mine, and it works in Wayland on Debian Testing (which starting using 4k page sizes with 6.10—maybe they integrated Daniel Pocock's patch?).

Unfortunately, after updating to kernel 6.11.9, the below errors appear after a reboot, and the OS won't load until I force a shutdown in the BMC and power it back on again.

Code: [Select]

In your other post, it sounds like compiling a kernel for POWER9 with 4k page sizes and VSX support should work, but I'm hoping to confirm this before I try it.

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

You ordered the Talos II directly from RaptorCS?

Yes. I ordered it directly from RaptorCS, and I didn't make any hardware changes to it.
