joschIn case this is a hardware problem, which bootargs parameter would I have to switch in u-boot to use S2 instead of S1? Maybe console=ttymxc1,115200 instead of console=ttymxc0,115200?00:00

technomancysigrid: wait did you say you were at 3.1V after six hours? I'm down to 3.2V here after 20m.00:53

technomancyyeah, I figured the percentage reading was inherently unreliable to some degree ... but going down 0.2V in 20 minutes for me and going down 0.1V in six hours for them makes me think something's wrong with mine01:06
vagrantc0.1V?01:06
technomancyerr, 0.3V, rather01:07
technomancy0.1V difference between theirs and mine based on running theirs 18x longer runtime01:08
vagrantcvoltage is not a very strong indicator of state-of-charge01:11
technomancyright; I'm just saying I was expecting like ... a factor of at most ten, not 1801:12
vagrantcalso depends on how the meter reads it e.g. best to pretend the last 15-20% doesn't exist, as by dipping into that power you will dramatically reduce the lifespane of the battery01:12
vagrantcso it would be reasonable for a battery guage to treat ~20% as ~0%01:13
sigridtechnomancy: yeah. 3.1V after 6h01:22
technomancyI guess I should just time mine and see01:24
vkoskiv_What kind of battery life are you all seeing under normal use?01:31
technomancyI've never tried going past 3h. I had mine die last week idling during a 2h power outage but I think that might have been a fluke?01:32

- bibliocar (QUIT: Remote host closed the connection) (~g@195.82.99.14)15:16
BoostisbetterYeah. It seemed to work. The steam package updater started running. It did its thing but then when it calls the steam client process, fails. 15:17
BoostisbetterI know box64 works because I've been using a vnc client through it for a while. 15:18
BoostisbetterBox86 has to be working as well or the updater wouldn't have run either 15:19
+ Christoph_ (~Christoph@p54bf6edb.dip0.t-ipconnect.de)15:27
mntmnBoostisbetter: maybe it failed because of the bug that was recently fixed? (see the link above)15:30
joschmntmn: since my S1 connector seems to be dead, do you happen to know how to let u-boot output on S2 (or know somebody who knows)?15:31
mntmnjosch: i haven't tried it, so here some theory:15:38
mntmn1. i think UART2 pads have to be added here https://source.mnt.re/reform/reform-boundary-uboot/-/blob/master/board/boundary/nitrogen8m_som/nitrogen8m_som.c#L3915:38

BoostisbetterMntmn, yeah I'll need to recompile it and see if that makes a difference. 16:20
bluerisesent my fourth Reform2 U-Boot patchset to U-Boot16:23
blueriseI hope this time one of the U-Boot maintainers chimes in... or just accepts it16:23
blueriseif it continues like this, it might be easier to get a rockchip-based reform2 patchset in lol16:24
mntmnjosch: 2. set this to UART2 https://source.mnt.re/reform/reform-boundary-uboot/-/blob/master/include/configs/nitrogen8m_som.h#L11416:26
mntmnbluerise: :| thanks for your work though16:27
mntmnjosch: those two changes should do it i think16:27
mntmnjosch: the additional pads should look like: IMX8MQ_PAD_UART2_RXD__UART2_RX | MUX_PAD_CTRL(UART_PAD_CTRL),16:28
mntmnIMX8MQ_PAD_UART2_TXD__UART2_TX | MUX_PAD_CTRL(UART_PAD_CTRL),16:28
mntmnBoostisbetter: for me, steam doesn't work because of Error initializing native libappindicator.so.1 (last dlerror is (null))16:35
Boostisbetter|exact same error I got. 16:44
Boostisbetterand I assume you are using the most current build of box86 right? 16:44
mntmnyes16:45
mntmndid you install libappindicator.so.1 somehow? i did, but not sure if it's working16:45
Boostisbetterno, I wasn't sure how to pull it in16:45
Boostisbetterso you updated it, and then tried again, and got the same error anyway?16:45
BoostisbetterSO CLOSE!!!16:46
mntmnyeah, this is not the error that is fixed by that commit16:46
Boostisbetterok, thanks for your efforts16:47
BoostisbetterI'm content knowing that eventually it will work16:47
BoostisbetterI would really like to get Nuclear Throne or Faster Than Light working16:47
BoostisbetterSteam just makes that so easy on x86 Linux. 16:47

joschmntmn: http://paste.debian.net/1226416/ this is what I changed in u-boot but it doesn't boot with that at all17:21

OpenBDSMhi. Just learned about MNT Reform, are they still being sold?17:42
Boostisbetteryou bet they are. 17:45
BoostisbetterI just got one less than a month ago. 17:45
BoostisbetterWhere are you from? 17:45
BoostisbetterIf you are in europe it is better to order from the MNT site directly, otherwise ordering through crowd supply is the way to go. 17:45
Boostisbetterhttps://mntre.com/media/reform_md/2020-05-08-the-much-more-personal-computer.html17:46
Boostisbettermntmn, btw did I ever tell you that one of the things that really got me interested in the Reform was a picture you shared on twitter with the reform hooked up to an audio bridge and a steinberger guitar. 17:47
BoostisbetterWas a cool picture. 17:47
OpenBDSMBoostisbetter, is Russia considered Europe?17:53
Boostisbetterin this context, I would say yep!17:53
Boostisbetterbut Russian customs would be something to consider. 17:53
Boostisbetteras I don't believe there is anything official worked out with them on behalf of MNT. I am, of course, merely speculating. I have no idea if that is true. 17:54
OpenBDSM`RAM: 4 GB LPDDR4 memory` - why aren't there options with bigger RAM size?17:54
OpenBDSM`CPU and RAM are on an exchangeable SO-DIMM sized module.` does it mean that there's just 1 SO-DIMM slot?17:55
OpenBDSMI don't see MotherBoard being specified in the detailed specs, but I see that CPU is ARM, does it mean that it's a SoC and thus CPU=MotherBoard+CPU?17:57
Boostisbetterthe system is based on a SoC, the IMX8. It caps out at 4gb. If you have heard of the Librem 5, it is the same SoC. 17:58
BoostisbetterHowever, the mainboard is designed to have a slotted SoC board. So yes it is upgradable in that you can update the whole Soc with a new board. 17:58
