JookiaYeah, after experiencing the librem 5 devkit I'm fairly sure the switch to the i.MX8 is causing more trouble than its worth22:42
swivelJookia: care to elaborate?22:49
Jookiaswivel: Power and heat issues and driver issues mainly23:08
swivelhmm, power and heat not too unexpected for early stages of a mobile soc dev kit23:37
swivelmight not have thermal and power management enabled yet23:37
swivelit'll probably be a tall order to get that thing working in a smartphone if they can't get the open-air dev kit to stay cool though :/23:39
Jookiayeah23:41
Jookiait gets around 60 degrees idling23:41
swivelJookia: and that increases substantially when loaded or is it just always burning power as if it's under load?23:47
Jookianot sure, i can't think of anything to put it under load because i can't install anything because networking is broken23:47
mntmnjookia very very interesting23:51
mntmnjookia i guess completely custom kernel? what is the distro/userland?23:52
Jookiadebian buster with emcraft-linux, so it's really nothing special23:52
swivelJookia: well, you can do something trivial like running a bunch of 'yes > /dev/null &', one per core, and observe the temps23:56
Jookiai could, shall do that next week or something23:56
swivelJookia: what are you doing with the devkit?23:58
JookiaNothing atm since it's not that useful. I got u-boot and Linux compiled from source but that's a bug that means Linux only detects the SD card slot (attached by a USB controller) when loaded off of eMMC and booting to eMMC (maybe systemd is fixing something)23:59
