vagrantcso, trying to build barebox for the mnt reform, but ... i don't see any obvious way to build it, make menuconfig just defaults to other defconfigs with no way to select the MNT Reform ...00:14
vagrantcit seems to ignore what's in .config, too00:14

kfxvagrantc: I had similar trouble; couldn't get it to target i.mx8mq either01:16
vagrantcapparently it non-intuitively uses the ./MAKEALL someboard_defconfig01:17

vagrantcand there's no defconfig for mnt_reform, but i tried tweaking the imx_v8_defconfig ... just finally completed a build, will see if it worked01:19

vagrantcwell, that was an adventure01:25
kfxnice!  can you put that .config online somewhere?  I'm interested in helping01:29

vagrantckfx: i basically tweaked arch/arm/*imx/configs/imx_v8_defconfig and removed all the various boards and added MNT_REFORM01:31
kfxfurther than I got01:32
vagrantcand then ...01:32
vagrantcARCH=arm ./MAKEALL someboard_defconfig01:32
kfx I was trying to figure out whether it would build and I couldn't even verify that all the reform patches made it into mainline01:32
vagrantcand i copied all the .bin files from reform-boundary-uboot and had to rename/symlink a couple01:32
vagrantci'll put some more effort into it another time, but i think that reasonably summarizes everything01:33
vagrantcgotta head out now01:33

Nulore: Waveshare; it's cheaper to buy recycled epaper displays off of AliExpress and get a controller (there's many Open Hardware ones, you can also use Waveshare's for some)14:30
NuloCheaper + nicer than Waveshare (better refresh rates)14:31

mntmnNulo: are there generic hdmi->epaper controllers?15:01
Nulomntmn, not sure, usually they aren't HDMI (because it doesn't really make sense for the display tech)15:02
Nulohttps://github.com/vroland/epdiy15:02
mntmnNulo: i am mostly interested in the hdmi stuff15:02
NuloNo clue then, sorry15:03
mntmnNulo: but, what's the usual alternative? usb and some custom framebuffer driver? dsi? (i'm totally new to epaper)15:03
Nulomntmn, SPI https://www.waveshare.com/product/displays/e-paper/driver-boards/e-paper-driver-hat.htm I think15:05
NuloAt least that's what I tried it with15:05
mntmnspi is very low bandwidth, isn't it? how are you going to have a usable framerate over that?15:05

NuloMost epaper display don't have a usable framerate :P Or, it depends on what you want it for15:08
NuloFor reading books, 3s or maybe even more is fine15:08
NuloI know there are higher refresh rate displays but I haven't experimented with them at all15:09

vagrantcoh, the device-tree for mnt reform2 is in linux 5.15.x22:26
vagrantcand looks like one patch added in 5.16 ...22:34
mntmncool. but there is no display support in there yet, unfortunately, and no support for the pcie slot that the wifi card uses.22:51
mntmnbut it's a big step.22:51
vagrantcyeah, i still moderate my excitement at seeing a device-tree land :)23:37
vagrantcbut it's still good news23:37
vagrantcmakes backporting patches a little easier to have the base framework all there23:38
