| mjw | hmmm, in sway if I accidentally sent a window to purgatory with MNT-shift-"-" how do I get it back? | 14:26 |
| ZylonMaster | do you mean close it or maximize it? | 14:26 |
| ZylonMaster | if you mean close it htop works | 14:27 |
| Asmadeus | that's probably the scratchpad | 14:27 |
| Asmadeus | there should be a key combinaison for 'scratchpad show' in sway config | 14:27 |
| Asmadeus | (not using reform's so not sure if it's still the default) | 14:27 |
| Asmadeus | (probably mnt-"-" if default) | 14:27 |
| mntmn | ok cool got horizontal wheel working | 14:28 |
| mjw | Asmadeus, thanks. There is indeed bindsym $mod+minus scratchpad show | 14:31 |
| mjw | now to figure out how to get that window "normal" again. | 14:32 |
| Asmadeus | mod+shift+space? | 14:32 |
| Asmadeus | iirc getting it out of the scratchpad will make it float, then you just need to unfloat it | 14:32 |
| mjw | Asmadeus, and again thanks. I am not very familiar with the sway terminology, but indeed, there is: | 14:34 |
| mjw | # Toggle the current focus between tiling and floating mode | 14:34 |
| mjw | bindsym $mod+space floating toggle | 14:34 |

| mntmn | i have implemented hi resolution wheel/pan in the trackball now, pushed | 16:08 |
| mntmn | but it's not supported by the desktop stack yet: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libinput/libinput/-/merge_requests/652 | 16:08 |
| mntmn | still, it makes scrolling a lot better imho due to the kernel accumulating high res events and sending legacy wheel events on thresholds | 16:08 |
| scops | 👍️ | 18:28 |
| mntmn | it's pushed to latest reform master if you wanna try it | 18:30 |
| mntmn | this can and should also be ported over to the trackpad | 18:30 |

| mntmn | bluerise: someone just asked me about OpenBSD on reform, how is it going over there? | 19:37 |
| mjw | mntmn, speaking of firmware updates. | 20:09 |
| mjw | mntmn, I assume this also controls the led display? | 20:10 |
| mjw | https://mntre.com/reform2/handbook/parts.html#keyboard-firmware | 20:10 |
| mntmn | mjw: do you mean the OLED display? yes | 20:13 |
| mjw | mntmn, how do I figure out which version I have now? | 20:15 |
| mntmn | mjw: "system status" in the oled menu | 20:17 |
| mjw | aha, ok, so I have 20210309 which corresponds to commit d7ebe47e08dff89abad2536a8d81a9654cfdd48f | 20:19 |
| mjw | mntmn, which packages do I need to have installed to build? | 20:23 |
| mjw | avr-size: not found | 20:23 |
| mntmn | mntmn@mntmn-i9:~$ sudo apt-file search avr-size | 20:24 |
| mntmn | binutils-avr: /usr/bin/avr-size | 20:24 |
| mntmn | mjw: install gcc-avr | 20:24 |
| mntmn | i guess binutils-avr is included / a dependency | 20:24 |
| mntmn | mjw: also install dfu-programmer | 20:25 |
| mjw | mntmn, dfu-programmer I got but avr-binutils and avr-gcc not. Are they in a particular apt repo? | 20:26 |
| mntmn | mjw: it is gcc-avr | 20:27 |
| mntmn | mjw: not avr-gcc | 20:27 |
| mjw | doh | 20:27 |
| mjw | sorry | 20:27 |
| mjw | and avr-libc | 20:30 |
| mjw | but now we are cooking! | 20:30 |
| mntmn | ok cool | 20:30 |
| mjw | lets open up this puppy and slash some bits :) | 20:31 |
| mjw | flash | 20:31 |
| mntmn | :3 | 20:31 |
| mjw | hmmm, no device present | 20:41 |
| mjw | so I switched the switch to on | 20:42 |
| mjw | pressed the reset button | 20:43 |
| mntmn | mjw: use sudo ./flash.sh | 20:43 |
| mjw | keyboard lights turned off (now typing on external keyboard) | 20:43 |
| mjw | but led display is still on | 20:43 |
| mntmn | (if no device present) | 20:43 |
| mntmn | mjw: did it work? | 20:44 |
| mjw | O of course! that worked | 20:44 |
| mntmn | ok cool | 20:44 |
| mjw | man, I am dense today... | 20:44 |
| mntmn | no problem | 20:44 |
| mntmn | it is not exactly obvious | 20:44 |
| mjw | great, keyboard back (typing on it again) and the annoying blinking battery is gone :) | 20:47 |
| mjw | Still showing ???% though | 20:47 |
| mntmn | mjw: better than nothing! | 20:51 |
| mntmn | mjw: the ??? is coming from lpc directly i think | 20:51 |
| mntmn | as a string | 20:51 |
| mntmn | mjw: which version is the lpc firmware? you can also see that in the system status | 20:51 |
| mjw | mntmn, MREF2LPC R2 20210309 | 20:53 |
| mjw | so same version as the keyboard before I flashed it | 20:53 |
| mntmn | mjw: ok, you should update to 20210419 | 20:54 |
| mntmn | mjw: for this you need a second computer and a microUSB cable, though | 20:54 |
| mntmn | but it is easy to do | 20:54 |
| mjw | ACTION checks handbook | 20:55 |
| mntmn | mjw: but! is your motherboard "upgraded" with this fix? https://community.mnt.re/t/mnt-reform-r-2-motherboard-update-2021-04-19/177 | 20:55 |
| mntmn | mjw: if you have old firmware, perhaps not? when did you get your reform? | 20:56 |
| mntmn | mjw: are you in the EU? | 20:56 |
| mjw | how fun, so I have 4 arm64 cores, an avr processor and another 32bit arm processor | 20:56 |
| mntmn | mjw: 2 avr processors | 20:57 |
| mntmn | (one in the keyboard, one in trackball/trackpad) | 20:57 |
| mntmn | mjw: also another 32 bit arm processor in the imx | 20:57 |

| mjw | mntmn, No I didn't do that modification, don't have a soldering iron | 20:58 |
| mjw | yeah, I know, terrible hardware hacker... | 20:59 |
| mjw | I am still hoping a nearby hackerspace will open again so someone can help me with that. | 20:59 |
| mjw | darn pandemic | 20:59 |
| mntmn | mjw: ok in that case you need to set REFORM_MBREV_R2 instead of R3 in line 40 in src/boards/reform2/board_reform2.c | 21:00 |
| mjw | mntmn, so I shouldn't update the firmware till I have done that hardware hack? | 21:00 |
| mntmn | mjw: no you can, but you need to make sure the correct value is set for the #define REFORM_MOTHERBOARD_REV | 21:00 |
| mntmn | the unmodified one is _R2, the modified _R3 | 21:00 |
| mjw | ah, even cooler, I get to hack the software to workaround the hardware :) | 21:00 |
| mntmn | this will change a few voltage thresholds | 21:00 |
| mjw | mntmn, BTW. Note that R2 is the default in current git | 21:23 |
| mntmn | mjw: ah yeah ok | 21:24 |
| mntmn | probably there should be no default | 21:24 |

| mjw | mntmn, also you need to first cd tools/lpcrc && make to create/update the crc | 21:34 |
| mntmn | ah yeah that is true | 21:34 |
| mjw | mntmn, flash.sh has dd if=bin/firmware.bin of="/mnt/firmware.bin" conv=nocreat,notrunc | 21:37 |
| mjw | mntmn, Which implies you mount the device under /mnt? But the instructions seem to imply you have to overwrite the whole device? | 21:38 |
| mntmn | so uhm no, you have to mount it | 21:38 |
| mjw | ACTION gets another machine and looks what /dev/sdx really is | 21:38 |
| mntmn | but do not read from it | 21:38 |
| mntmn | it is a virtual fat16 device | 21:39 |
| mntmn | with this one file in it | 21:39 |
| mjw | aha | 21:39 |
| mntmn | that should only be written to | 21:39 |
| mntmn | it is just nxp's weird implementation of accessing the flash | 21:39 |
| mntmn | so, mount, dd to the file and unmount | 21:39 |
| mntmn | reading from it or doing other stuff makes it break | 21:39 |
| mjw | thanks | 21:40 |
| mjw | maybe update "Edit flash.sh and change the path to virtual flash drive (i.e. /dev/sdx)." to mention the mount point instead of /dev/sdx... ? | 21:40 |
| mntmn | well yeah the sd_x_ has to be the right letter | 21:42 |
| mjw | so this has to be done with batteries still connected I assume? | 21:46 |

| mntmn | mjw: awesome! | 22:19 |
| mjw | that was fun, now I got two additional toolchains | 22:20 |
| mjw | so to talk to the lpc I should do screen /dev/ttymxc2 57600 | 22:25 |
| mjw | but that doesn't seem to do anything | 22:25 |
| mjw | even as root | 22:26 |

| mntmn | mjw: you can't write to it, only reas | 22:27 |
| mntmn | read | 22:27 |
| mntmn | mjw: you need to tell the keyboard to enable this snooping feature | 22:28 |

| bluerise | ah, mntmn did. uhm, OpenBSD, right. well, no graphics output (neither LCD/HDMI), no sounds | 22:35 |
| bluerise | that's tbh a bit crappy for a laptop | 22:35 |
| bluerise | (and the fault blames in OpenBSD of course) | 22:35 |
| mntmn | bluerise: yeah well lets get graphics going? | 22:35 |
| bluerise | easier said than done | 22:35 |
| bluerise | linux drivers are GPL | 22:35 |

| + adjtm (~adjtm@188.26.220.205) | 22:37 | |
| bluerise | it's a bit sad they don't upstream their stuff | 22:37 |
| mntmn | lets just use the fork | 22:38 |
| mntmn | lets get some demo to work, and this will create more incentive to go the remaining steps for graphics perhaps | 22:39 |
| - mjw (QUIT: Quit: Leaving) (~mark@herd.wildebeest.org) | 22:50 | |
