Do you see a chance to finish this SpacemiT K1 draft and support it in a final oreboot release?

I would really like to use it as a blob-free boot alternative for my Orangepi RV2 under guix.

Do you see a chance to finish this SpacemiT K1 draft and support it in a final oreboot release?

Would you like to help with this?
We need a few things:

• integrating the oreboot SBI, see our library in src/arch/ and how it is used for other platforms
• a method to flash, such as with a prebuilt U-Boot carrying fastboot and the MTD drivers
• integrating LinuxBoot, which is trivial; the SPI flash is MMIO mapped for reading
• porting SpacemiT's Python tool; it's quite hard to grasp and use as of now

I would really like to use it as a blob-free boot alternative for my Orangepi RV2 under guix.

When the above steps are done, you can integrate oreboot into your build system, but it should be agnostic of that.

I would just want to tidy up a few commits here and then merge this whole first big chunk. It has been tested on various devices with different DRAM parts by multiple people, and across SpacemiT K1 / M1 as well as Ky X1.

Would you like to help with this?

Yes -- I'll try to get familiar with these sources...

Are you still interested? We need help with reviews of some current work in the build system; for a start, see

• run tests in CI #808
• xtask: define and use common helper for platform directory #807
• xtask: fix clap annotations #806

For reference: I have also pointed to this here in the U-Boot mailing list, but noone picked it up.

Yes -- I'm still interested in using oreboot on my OrangePi RV2 and pack the software for guix.

I already spend some time to watch your very instructive YouTube videos and have learned a lot from them. But adapting your codebase for my needs still overwhelms me. I would feel much more comfortable to start on a somehow stabilized ground and contribute feedback, bug reports and little improvements. But the very fluffy and informal state of the actual codebase makes it rather difficult to participate.

Nevertheless, I'll give it a trial again later this week.
