@mntmn@mastodon.social ah yeah of course!
From looking at other platforms I don't know if there is any great answer. Most full systems have a weirder firmware interface that is likely worse.
I'm trying hard to avoid learning how powers opal works as an example
@tuxpowered@ipv6.social@oxy@social.bsdlab.au I understood that dpdk has a “forbidden” driver for Mellanox it uses. dpdk drivers are pretty unrelated to FreeBSD ones, if it works with dpdk on Linux then FreeBSD shouldn’t be far off
I could easily for 40GBit through my T6 cards
@joe i have a Larry v harry bullit, but it being available in aus is unknown to me.
Base spec is totally in that budget, but I needed to be able to move a child and go up hills.
I got it in November so it’s not had a ton of use yet, but so far I’m really happy.
Never let anyone talk you out of a quick 15 minutes reading a datasheet. Those 6 hours tracking it down will be the best 4 months of debugging you can imagine.
@tubsta@social.bsdlab.au@oxy@social.bsdlab.au No one complained about the port being 2 years out of date.
Take from that what you will.
It is stable and useable enough for small networks (not slow, but managing 10+ machines would be tedious)
We are missing something like linuxcp which wasn’t required, but is a big help for sensibly managing a network.
I don’t run production networks so I couldn’t close that part of the loop without a user heading into production.
I’d say vpp on FreeBSD is mature enough to start building a product with, but you’ll need a vpp hacker to get over the line.
@tdr112@chaos.social take a quick trip to Aberdeen and we can spend a day playing “fix the bikes”
It’s easier when there’s no pressure, but it’s one of those things that learning it is harder than doing it
@sirwumpus@tilde.zone@profoundlynerdy@bitbang.social thanks to this reply I realised you wanted C help and not C# help. For C# I thought you were shit out of luck.
Intro C these two sources are the best way to start, but then you need a problem to work on. The language brings little so you quickly end up in someone’s ecosystem.
I’m happy to help if you have a project in mind.
@joe@f.duriansoftware.com Makes sense, I have the olimex imx23 dev board too for testing. If I’d known there were a uboot available I’d have started years ago
@Edent@mastodon.social it feels like an incredible waste of time, it’s probably sucking the air out of the room for any good protocol too.
Typo: “I was even invited to a top-secret private channel for speaker.”
Should be “speakers”
@joe i love mine so much, I couldn’t handle having people say “bollocks” to me all the time or I’d have that amazing yellow.
I still love rolling around on the orange machine.
@thelastpsion@netbsd i tried around 2016 and couldn’t get it to work there was an issue with the epoch launcher and I couldn’t get a tool chain
That’s not actually so recent….
@jacqueline I can easily reinvent the useful ide bits in a terminal with awful hacks, but I can't reinvent the terminal without doing real actual work in an ide and that requires "using an ide"
