ex-parrothmm, I’ve got a small bruised spot in the panel where it looks the trackball must have hit it in shipping or something :/10:42
ex-parrotI can probably just order a new panel 10:42
ex-parrotThat said it’s not very noticeable. Ironically the exact same thing happened to my Novena where the nub mouse in the keyboard bruised the panel 10:43
ex-parrotAnd, I should say, this is not a complaint :P10:47
ex-parrotI ran through the migration process this afternoon and that seems to have worked well, encrypted nvme is working nicely. I seem to keep bumping out the SD card so probably next up is to flip to eMMC boot as well 10:47
mntmnex-parrot: ohh @ bruise. sorry to hear it. i wonder if you can find a compatible panel (list of models is in the handbook) in your area 10:54
ex-parrotI’ll be able to import one from China I imagine 10:55
ex-parrotIs there a particular one you’d recommend from the list?10:56
ex-parrotGoing to have a go at flashing the trackball firmware tomorrow to change the button ordering around. I have some tiny documentation bug fixes for you too which I’ll send through gitlab 10:57
ex-parrotThis is kind of a weird question maybe, but what key combination are folks using mostly to replace “delete forward” on the reform keyboard? (Eg the “delete” key)11:11
ex-parrotJust ctrl+d? Or am I missing something obvious :P11:13
ex-parrotAlso where do the trackball HID LEDs come out in Linux? I was poking at /sys/class/led but the entries there don’t seem to be it 11:15
ex-parrotAh I was looking at the keyboard LEDs11:19
ex-parrotWell “keyboard LEDs”, I don’t think the endpoints are connected to actual hardware :P11:19

ex-parrotOk mntmn I’m “fincham” in gitlab now pending your approval :)11:29
mntmnex-parrot: i recommend the innolux one with centered connector11:30
ex-parrotTy11:30
ex-parrotI’ll put it on my list 11:30
mntmnthe LEDs are controllable via the hidraw device11:31
ex-parrotahh ok 11:31
ex-parrotI can probably work that out 11:31
ex-parrotTho rn I have done enough computer for today. Catch you later 11:32
mntmnsee ya!12:35
bluerisehm, so, not really sure where my OpenBSD troubles come from13:02
bluerise'stock' U-Boot behaves the same as my newer U-Boot version13:03
blueriseFOUND IT14:09
blueriseSolidRun ships max. 3G, and the MNT Reform's SoM from Boundary Devices has 4G.  The 'fourth' Gig of memory is on an address >32-bit, because that last area below is reserved for the I/O device registers. Now it appears the i.MX8MQ I/O devices cannot access >32-bit addresses.14:11
bluerise And that's why it sometimes works, and sometimes doesn't: our OS sometiems uses addresses above, sometimes below.14:12
mntmnbluerise: ah, makes a lot of sense, yes15:10
mntmnbluerise: i think linux uses bounce buffers for that15:11
blueriseYeah, we can set DMA constraints to restrict allocation15:15
blueriseIt's an 'easy' fix, just need to think about how we parse it15:15

bluerisemntmn: now that I know my bug is not in U-Boot/DDR/ATF, I'm much more confident in my U-Boot upgrade21:43
mntmnbluerise: cool!21:43
blueriseI should have a look to make it so that it works for your normal boot case as well21:43
bluerisebecause I use distro boot, with EFI. and your u-boot just loads the image and boots with booti21:44
blueriseso I need to check how to 'marry' the approaches21:44
bluerisemaybe distro boot as default, and yours as fallback21:44
bluerisealso I have PCI + NVMe support in u-boot, meaning there's no need to have kernel/fdt on the SD card21:45
blueriseand no need for SD card if u-boot is on the eMMC21:45
mntmnbluerise: well, except if the NVMe is encrypted... then you need another unencrypted partition on it21:49
mntmnbluerise: i'm curious btw, can openbsd make use of the HDMI framebuffer set up by u-boot?21:50
blueriseIt can, but I don't think the 'upgraded' U-Boot sets up HDMI correctly right now. or maybe it did, but not the display21:55
jackhillbluerise: cool! I'm interested in doing distro boto with EFI. I'd be curious to look at your notes21:55
bluerisemntmn: well, even openbsd's full-disk-encryption needs a bootloader that can be loaded and can then decrypt the disk, so yeah21:56
bluerisejackhill: heh :)21:56
jackhill:)21:57
jackhillI don't have a serial/uart adaptor for Reform yet though, so I'm kind of hoping to get one before I mess around too much. Can't get very far flying blind21:58
