bluerisemntmn: you working on that CM4 adapter means I might really have to continue on rk356x support on openbsd :P00:41
bluerisewonder if u-boot has better mipi-dsi support for that...00:41
bluerisebut, hope you're enyoing your vacation00:41
mntmnhehe yeah mostly!00:51
ex-parrotI've been enjoying LFS on the reform00:54
ex-parrotI also did not yet try and build a 'real' browser00:55
ex-parrotbut I kind of like it that way00:55
technomancyI've managed to keep chromium and webkit off my reform so far <300:57
ex-parrotI need to hook up a Gemini browser00:57
mntmnthat's cool, to use it minimal like that01:02
ex-parrotI currently don;t have X or wayland 01:03
ex-parrotjust been doing journalling over SSH with tmux01:03
technomancyin 8 colors?01:04
technomancyor is there a way to do 256-color without X/wayland?01:04
ex-parrotpretty sure you can do 256colour on the default display01:05
ex-parroton a VTY01:05
technomancyoh, maybe it's an Emacs limitation then01:05
technomancyI've never been able to get more than 8 in Emacs01:05
ex-parrotI could be very wrong 01:06
ex-parrotI don't trust my own memory now :P01:06
ex-parrotI'll check when I get home if 256 colour is working01:06
ex-parrotyou might need fbterm 01:06
ex-parrotbut I am not using that...01:07
technomancyfbterm sounds really familiar, like I must have tried to do this previously01:08

bkeysSo how is the trackball on the current revision of the reform?03:04
bkeysI read a review that said it rubbed against the display, and that it was fixed; is that true?03:04
+ sigrid (~ftrvxmtrx@ftrv.se)03:07
bkeysAlso what is the trackball made out of? I have a "clearly superior" branded trackball and it is like a billiard ball; I was hoping something like a marble for the reform03:07
ex-parrotI got a tiny boop on my display from shipping, I'd suggest if you were going to re-ship internationally maybe extra pad that 03:08
ex-parrotor take out the trackball03:08
ex-parrotthere's been a bit of hacking going on with a replacement cup design 03:09
ex-parrotand a few people tried alternative ball materials03:09
ex-parrotthe standard one is kind of hard to describe, it's not bad at all but it's not much like other tracksballs necessarily that I've used either03:09
+ sl (~sl@beastie.sdf.org)03:27
bkeysex-parrot: Would you say to go with the touchpad or the trackball?03:28
bkeysI really like the idea of a trackball but I don't want it to damage my screen03:28
slinsert a thin piece of foam like they ship laptops with03:30
sli do this already for screens i care about03:30
ex-parrotI really like the trackball03:30
ex-parrotI'd have it any day over a touchpad03:30
ex-parrotyou could just get both03:30
ex-parrotand decide which one you like most03:30
slhow hard is it to remove?03:30
sljust take it out :)03:30
ex-parrotask to have the touchpad installed for shipping maybe? or nothing installed03:30
ex-parrottho I imagine the screen booping thing willb e fixed by now, my unit was really early03:30
slmight be a good design update to make it easily removable without disassembling the case03:30
slfor travel03:31
ex-parrotnot very hard, nothing on the reform is hard to disassemble03:31
ex-parrotremoving the ball isn't as easy as a "typical" trackball, it does require removing some screws03:31
sli got my keyboard today, still waiting for my laptop.03:31
ex-parrotexciting03:31
ex-parrotI still need to do the firmware update03:31
ex-parrotalso, if the display is damaged03:33
ex-parrotit's extremely easy to replace03:33
slgreat03:35
ex-parrotI have been away for a bit, has anything happend with OpenBSD support recently?03:36
slif i understand correctly bluerise is working on it, but not sure about progress.03:36
ex-parrotmm, that's about all I know too03:36
ex-parrotACTION isn't in a hurry03:36
sldebian is my least favorite part of the mnt reform03:38
slbut that's fixable03:38
ex-parrotI'm running LFS at the moment03:39
ex-parrotit was very painless to get it going03:39
slcool03:40
sli think someone is working on alpine, too03:41

chartreusesl: The MNT key should be being sent as Super/Windows Key15:04
chartreuseI imagine the lower control key might be being sent as Right Ctrl and causing some issue?15:05
bkeysSo I read in reviews that the mnt reform keyboard will be programmable, what program can be used to configure it?15:05
slchartreuse: yeah, it's all probaly fne in another os; we sometimes have to tweak 9front keyboard mapping for various keyboards. fortunately it's easy to do.15:21
sl*finr15:21
slthat is, fine15:21
- Christoph (QUIT: Remote host closed the connection) (~Christoph@p4fe73e3f.dip0.t-ipconnect.de)15:23
chartreusebkeys: It's programmable in the sense you can flash the keyboard controller firmware while the system is running (ATMEGA32U4) and source is provided15:25
bkeysOkay, so no web GUI like a lot of fancier mechanical keyboards have15:26
bkeysWhat do you need hardware-wise to flash the keyboard?15:26
- S0rin (QUIT: Ping timeout: 256 seconds) (~S0rin@user/s0rin)15:26
chartreuseNothing hardware wise, it's programmable from on the MNT itself, you just need to flick one of the switches under the bezel (and can leave it there), then press a button on the board and do `make dfu`15:28
chartreuseYou can press that button with the bezel on with a plastic tool as it's just visible above the keys15:28
chartreuseWell I guess you need an external USB keyboard to press enter to run the command (or start it with a sleep command in front as when you press the button the keyboard won't respond till it's flashed or times out :P15:30
+ S0rin (~S0rin@user/s0rin)15:32
niobkeys: There's a small alpha web-version for the key mapping from mntmn:16:18

bkeysOh that is nice16:19
bkeysHas the whole issue of the BMC draining the battery been solved?16:19

blueriseex-parrot: I often also wish I had more expertise22:11
blueriseMIPI-DSI for instance isn't my strong suit22:11
blueriseThe thing is, OpenBSD does boot fine and I even have a modified U-Boot that can boot directly from NVMe22:11
blueriseI'm waiting so I can push a new patchset. I hoped Peng would update his and re-push, but maybe I have to create a patchset without his stuff22:12
blueriseso with that OpenBSD boots, but there's neither video nor audio22:12
blueriseNVMe, WiFi, USB, keyboard/mouse etc work though... but with nothing to display it to, it sucks a little bit22:12
ex-parrotyeah makes sense22:13
ex-parrotif I have time over my christmas holidays I'll definitely see if there's any help I can add22:13
blueriseWhat I'm missing though is how to setup the display pipeline. I either have to implement *more* MIPI-DSI, or just find the correct bit to... fix it22:13
ex-parroteven if it's just replicating where you've got to22:13
blueriseSure, feel free to message me22:13

blueriseI quit my job and have another 2,5 months left before vacation (and then new job)22:14

blueriseI've been stuck at that point of the scenario for too long now :P22:14

ex-parrotI've been in-house security guy previously as well22:23
ex-parrotbut it's still a bit of a new world to be "doing testing"22:23
bluerisesigrid: those two display branches are a bit of... cherry-picking from boundary devices, fixing it up as I go and try to improve here and there. it's a bit of finding needle in a haystack for me, because I don't know a good way how to make progress22:24

bluerisehaha, yes22:25
sigridis the idea to get display set up so u-boot can be used without uart?22:25
ex-parrotI've been at this new job almost 6 months and found so many issues so far, but I'm on some jobs at the moment where I'm just finding nothing22:25
bluerisesigrid: kinda. the idea for me was that I can use GPL drivers to establish the video output, and then hand a 'simple framebuffer' over to OpenBSD22:26
sigridah, ok22:26
bluerisethen I don't need to write BSD-licensed drivers from scratch without documentation22:26
sigridthat'd be indeed useful :)22:26
bluerisebut yeah, it's definitely helpful to be able to interact with u-boot without having to need a serial console22:26
ex-parrotI'd like to have u-boot display output working generally anyway22:27
blueriseex-parrot: ups and downs :)22:27
bluerisewill be doing more security stuff in the new job, that'll be very interesting22:27
